Jeopardy! Chronicles:

welcome to the final episode of 2024. How do I know it's the final episode of the year?

Because it's the last day of the year. Like it might end up in theoretical lock territory early on, but then it decidedly did not. Also some parts of this game were just not nice to some of our contestants..

we are now in post-season territory, which is not as painful as I thought it would be considering the amount of tournaments we had to deal with this time last year.

This game was a ping pong match, but one of our people sadly did not get to play as much ping pong as the others did. Everybody seemed like they were having fun though, and they definitely proved they were there for a reason. They earned the right to be invited back. Also, I think I may have called it with all three of these players being invited back. I know I've called several that I would like to see come back, but I think I may have hit the nail on the head with these three if my memory is accurate ch

we're officially done with the guest host series. As far as spotlights go. I definitely saved the best for last.

I think this one might be longer than every other guest host edition we've done, partly because I have personal stories with this one. ne

two more games today that were totally different.

One of them was totally brutal and not nice to its players at all, resulting in a fairly low scoring game. The other was downright interesting and my brain could not keep up with who did what. I am only a human and I suck at names, so if I got something wrong, please be polite about it, but do let me know. I will do my best to correct it. ll

two different types of games here. One a theoretical lock.

One a game of ping pong very dangerous decision at the very end of the game. Also, pop calls her people, if I get your team name wrong I do apologize. It is not intentional. I am only human and my brain has limited name memory. If you want to talk to me about it, please do so privately and I will definitely make a correction.

both of these games came down to the wire.

One of them by half of a double Jeopardy clue or a Jeopardy round clue. needless to say it was intense. Also, Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, joy is Kwanzaa, or whatever else you may celebrate. I hope it will be or has been super awesome for you. ue

I'm sorry this one is so short.

We had to go fast because my power levels were dangerously low. this game had probably the most unexpected ending we've seen in a while. I know I certainly didn't expect you to play out the way it did. That was epic ow

this game was either excellent or painful, depending on which contestant you're talking about. One of them did really really well and ended up with a fair size chunk of change.

One of them tried really really hard and ended up in the negative, totally sucks. One of them was very firmly stuck in the middle, which also kind of sucks. ve

we are really scraping the bottom of the guest host barrel now.

Fortunately this is the last one I'm going to have to basically verbally rip apart. The next one is one of my favorites, but you won't get to hear about him until next week. Yes, I am deliberately leaving you in suspense, so get over it rt

once again, today's syndicated game was totally down to the wire. Unlike yesterday, so was the pop culture Jeopardy game. The reason this episode is so long is because I got off on several tangents about the important parts of being an awesome Jeopardy contestant and why pop culture Jeopardy just works. If you want to skip the tangent stuff, you have a fast forward button and you are more than welcome to do so.

That is totally understandable.le
