Subject: [TV orNotTV] Jeopardy GOAT Match 1
A question for anyone: when Ken answered the Game 2 Jeopardy round Daily Double, he originally just gave the first name, then there was a pause, then he gave the full name, to which Alex said "Thank you!", the implication was that Alex would've ruled Ken wrong had he not given the full name. I thought a contestant would've been given a "more specific" request. Was there a rule change at some point, or am I just flat wrong?
The way I interpreted that was, after Jennings gave his first name answer there was a brief pause until he tried again with the full name, which was accepted. The camera was on Jennings the whole time, so I can’t know for sure, but I was imagining Alex glancing over at the judges, looking for a quick thumbs up or down, and Jennings beat him to the punch with his more-specific second try.

Indeed, the lack of response from Alex was certainly a signal to Ken.

>(I'm just going to keep going in a single thread rather than make a fresh one for each night.)
I’ve read that the network specials are pulling in over 14M a night, but how does that compare to the nightly syndicated numbers?

My wife, the Packers shareholder, did not appreciate James's editorializing on the Green Bay response.
Interestingly, the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune both pushed tweets on the results during the window between the east and west airings. The Trib actually spoiled the result in the tweet.

I found out over the weekend that they the episodes were hour-long, and feared to myself that they were going to try to stretch out a single game. I was very relieved Monday afternoon when I discovered they were going to the two-game format.They were about 20 clues into Game 1's Jeopardy round when I thought to myself "I don't think they've missed yet." And that's exactly what happened: the three of them ran that board like nobody's business.Ken's True Daily Double call on the second Daily Double of Game 1(and the look on his face as he was trying to suss out the response) was absolutely nerve-wracking..James's Nelson Muntz taunt of Brad when he buzzed in on the Dick Clark clue was great.A question for anyone: when Ken answered the Game 2 Jeopardy round Daily Double, he originally just gave the first name, then there was a pause, then he gave the full name, to which Alex said "Thank you!", the implication was that Alex would've ruled Ken wrong had he not given the full name. I thought a contestant would've been given a "more specific" request. Was there a rule change at some point, or am I just flat wrong?Poor Brad just got whammied (wrong game show, but still) by the two DDs in Game 2 Double Jeopardy round. He looked like he was just trying to get back into the swing of things. But there you go: the unbeatable man didn't just get beaten: he got his rear handed to him.And the overnight ratings are in: 14.37 million, which puts it behind only Sunday's Golden Globes for the highest-rated entertainment show of all year: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jeopardy-zoeys-extraordinary-playlist-tv-ratings-jan-7-2020-1268031
That makes when we found out what Ken Jennings wagered on the category "US Political History" the defining moment of this tournament. I don't know if anyone else was shocked when he went all in to create an almost insurmountable lead in Match 3, but both my wife and I yelled out in shock when we saw 25,600 on the display.
The category reveal at the start of Match 4 Game 1 Jeopardy round was the first time I felt irritated.
James's murder on network television of Brad before the start of game 2, complete with the evil grin, cemented his place as Jeopardy's ultimate heel.
It was all awesome.
Not for nothing, but the next Adult test dates were announced - January 28 (5P/8E), 29 (6P/9E) and 30 (8P/11E).
