Jeopardy! Chronicles:

these games were polar opposites. One of them was a ping pong match. One of them was a Godzilla attack. Forget theoretical lock. This was Godzilla stomping all over the other contestants.

It was brutal, especially if you were one of those contestants. they definitely did their best, but what can you do when a steamroller combined with Godzilla is coming at you? ts

One of these games looked like it was going to be a theoretical lock but wasn't.

The other one was just plain theoretical lock territory. also, can we talk about the awesome come from behind stuff that happened in one of them. Apologies for not being as fun as usual or as chatty as usual, especially where pop culture Jeopardy is concerned. To put it mildly people have irritated me beyond Good Sense and I'm still rather wound up ry

these contestants were good. So good, in fact, that nobody could pull too far ahead. The others were constantly catching up.

Super competitive, super intense right up until the end of final. We like around here..

We've almost finished this series. today was one of the ones that really surprised me by how much I liked them. I was told I wouldn't, but then I totally did es

oh right. Today was basically the polar opposite of yesterday. Yesterday we had two games going into theoretical lock. Today we had zero. Also shout out to the pop culture Jeopardy team who provided maximum free laughs. Free laughter is always good so thank you guys. Also, just to let you know I was not making fun of you in a mean way on this particular podcast.

I was making a joke that randomly popped into my head and seemed too good to pass up over a situation. I genuinely found amusing. it was not meant to hurt your feelings in any way ng

it's not often we see two theoretical lock games in one night. Today was the exception to that rule though.

We had a dominant contestant in The syndicated game and a dominant team in pop culture Jeopardy. That's not to say everyone else wasn't really good because they were. We just had approximately four contestants who decided not to share the buzzer, one in the regular game and three in the spin-off. I've also given you my thoughts on the negative attitude towards pop culture Jeopardy in the press and why I personally don't get it. dy

two very good games today. First, in our syndicated game, a contestant on a roll who very quickly put the thing in theoretical lock. On pop culture.

Jeopardy, nine contestants on a roll who came nowhere near putting the game in theoretical lock. what do these two have in common? They were extremely awesome and extremely fun to watch. Once again, I do want to apologize for not having a lot of concrete data on pop culture Jeopardy. No cheat sheet, no data. ck
