Pissed off at Jeopardy!

I always hate it when a Jeopardy! round ends before all the clues are revealed, but especially when the clues are all in a category I know a lot about--as with today, where the clues were all in the Tuba category.

And it all could have been avoided--one of the categories was a stupid category and all the clues there were all video clues, which take awhile to get through since the people in the videos inevitably talk slowly, and a lot. It could have been avoided either by simply leaving this ridiculous category out altogether, or by this dumbassed prissy douchebaggy Asian chick not choosing to constantly go back to it all the time when it could have been avoided in preference of the better categories that were even on the board!

Fortunately, the dumbassed prissy douchebaggy Asian chick lost because of a ridiculously stupid Final Jeopardy! answer that missed the whole point of the clue.

How can anyone not like that show? The sheer level of embarrasing fail as the shockingly inarticulate contestants try to persuade each other they're trustworthy makes it gloriously bad.

In addition, the frequent references to "killer balls" gives me an amusing image of a gang of delinquent murderous giant testicles.

I reckon I'd be too honest to do any good on it although I've always wondered if at the last bit just before you're about to choose to split or steal whether you're allowed announce your intention to steal and basically hold the money hostage?

I find it amusing that Fnordgasm 5 calls Monty Python a stupid show for stupid people and then comes out expressing her love for Hole in the Wall.

There is a reason why it only lasted two episodes on Australian TV.

Haven't watched Jeapordy in some time. Use to enjoy it though. Only trivia show I catch now is Cash Cab.

You get to guess at questions and make assumptions as to who will or will not know the answers just by their looks or accent (since it's just general people off the street catching a cab).

When it's 2 or more involved, but only 1 answers the questions correctly .. you can wonder what went down after they arrived at their destination and the other(s) want a split of the winnings but did diddly to help win it. hehe

That girl was pissing me off...so prim and proper, stereotypical Asian with the slittiest eyes I've ever seen, and she kept going back to that "NYT Columnists" category that was wasting a bunch of time with the longassed video clues that kept them from completing the Tuba category that I really wanted. I'm glad she lost.

Like most stand up artists trying to become TV presenters, his stand up is still pretty decent even if his presenting is cheesy and shit- or was last time I saw it. I call it the Bob Monkhouse effect, although the dead late Bob did still manage to be endearing as well as annoying when presenting
