Back again for another episode: https://tvline.com/casting-news/kelli-giddish-returns-law-and-order-svu-season-25-amanda-rollins-1235188570/

The field of contestants who will be trying to get into the next J! Masters (ie those competing in the tournament immediately following the end of the TOC) was just announced. https://thejeopardyfan.com/2024/03/2024-jeopardy-invitational-tournament-field-announced.html

Week 26: 1/5 (got Monday's and went downhill from there). Overall: 68/130 8*

Because these are the quarterfinals---9 of them, with each winner being one of the 9 semi-finalists (used to be, only 5 quarterfinal games, with the 5 winners and the 4 highest non-winners moving on to the semis).

Week 25: 1/5 0* Overall: 67/125 8*

I'm sure he'll be in the next tourney (the ones trying to be in the next J! Masters), since I think he said he was an alternate for the last J!M.

Yep. According to what Ken said (either the first TOC episode or at the end of the episode before that), it will be a tournament to see who will compete in the next J! Masters tournament (which, I believe, will at least be in prime time). It is only after that will we (finger crossed) actually get new games with "regular, unseen previously (except the returning champ) people".

Week 24: 2/5 0* Overall: 66/120 8*

Found remains, took a year for DNA, not her. Two years later some kids found some Polaroids of her. She (the FBI agent) "no longer feels her in the world", so I guess she figures she's dead, but Olivia promises to "continue to investigate".

Actually, I knew it right away, since that is the standard picture (ie the one that's always used) of Confucius.

Tank? Does Tank still exist? I remember him being with Raines outside of the building (as a cover), then Raines rushing to the building just as it exploded. I have no idea where Tank currently is!

Since the category was "It's all "small" (notice the quotation marks) stuff", you must include "small" in any correct response. SBA won't qualify, so not accepted.

Week 23: 2/5 0* Overall: 64/115 8* Worse for me---I've been in the Gateway Arch!

Week 22: Only 2/5 but at least they were both *s (2*) Overall 62/110 8*

Jeopardy Masters was renewed, but no word on who the next crop of "masters" will be (or when it will air). https://tvline.com/news/jeopardy-masters-renewed-abc-spring-2024-1235166170/

Did anyone else laugh out loud when McGrath said "what would you do if it was your kid?" and Benson said "I'd go nowhere near the investigation"?!

Once you've eliminated the generic "planet", wouldn't you start naming planets (after eliminating "Earth", "Jupiter" (big red spot missing), and "Saturn" (no rings)), figuring it's got to be one of them, even if you didn't recognize the planet? He did it twice (missing both Venus and Neptune)! I'm sure you can name 5 planets (6 if you count Pluto) in less than 3 seconds, especially if you claim you know all the planets.

Did you miss the part where Olivia takes off the bracelet and puts it into the music box?! I wonder what the mother will think if she opens the box and finds the bracelet! Will she call Olivia and Olivia will have to break the news to her--"No, we didn't find her. No, it's not actually hers. It's a bracelet I took off the look-alike sex doll. I wanted Maddie to find it (should she ever return) and know that there are sex dolls that look like her out there."???

For those who may have missed the news: https://tvline.com/news/law-and-order-cast-sam-waterston-leaving-adding-tony-goldwyn-1235141723/ Last episode for McCoy is Feb 22.

And...we're back! Week 21 (Jan 29-Feb 2): 3/5 1* Overall: 60/105 6*.

Week 20: 3/5 0* Overall: 57/100 5*

At least you knew it was a woman--one contestant answered Tutankhamun (commonly known as "KING Tut").

You know, I just would have assumed she was on JK to promote her show (which was returning in two weeks). The "she's the CJ! winner" would never had occurred to me!
