I posted this as a reply in a question thread but it has still not been approved and the issue persists. The search function is definitely not applying "All of my search term words" correctly. It is also not handling searches for a full phrase enclosed in quotes. Every search I use with more than one word is returning results that include any of the words. I searched for the words Single jeopardy with "Any of my search term words" selected and got 89.1k results. I selected the option "single AND jeopardy" and still had 89.1k results. I selected the option for the phrase "single jeopardy" and still had 89.1k results. I started a new search with "All of my search term words" selected and got the same 89.1k results. When I look at individual results most include only one of the words. When I add a filter by author that does limit the results by author but does not affect the word/phrase results. ETA: same issue both on my phone (Chrome on Android) and on my laptop (Firefox, Windows 11).

Now that 2nd place has increased to 3k, the champion won with less than the 2nd place winner.

She simultaneously knew too much and too little to get that one. You don't grasp for "the rest is silence" from pure ignorance. And I thought Amy would get Windsor (it came to me immediately, cue extra smugness) but that may also have been a case where she knew too much and couldn't filter down to something so obvious it's in the title of a relevant play. I would never have got FJ and was floundering around the Great Lakes -- Michigan, since that is the one entirely in the US, and hoping the corner was a tiny link between Huron and Superior, which it isn't.

She wasn't in the JIT because she was in the top 3 of the Masters last year and therefore automatically playing in this year's Masters. Same for James and Matt Amodio.

I got Easter Parade as well. For Final I confidently said "the one that Alexander just cut through" but then got stuck on the name Sword of Damocles until I managed to sort out that it was unlikely that cutting through the thread would have solved Damocles' problem and what I meant was the Gordian Knot.

I especially enjoyed the part where Bowen and Chloe got into it over the different movie versions as well. I remembered disliking the original version so after a little bit I decided to FF over some of it. I did laugh at the exchange "I must admit that the sight of you with no bottoms is--" "Making you forget that there's a baby in my desk?" This was one of those episodes where it felt like a lot of different castmembers had something to do and did it pretty well.

That's correct. Andrew placed 4th overall. If I recall correctly, Sam and Amy were cut and only James, Mattea, Matt, and Andrew played in the semifinal round. Then Mattea edged out Andrew and only James, Matt, and Mattea played in the final round.

I can't think of any Jeopardy tournament before the Masters that was structured so that it was assumed the winner would defend their title. Certainly not the TOC or any of the special teen, seniors, college, etc.

Andrew really won me over during the Masters last year so I like all three and don't want to have to choose. I hope they go to 4 games before we get a winner.

I said pinny but I doubt they would have given it to me without a BMS. I also had to say nephrologist in order to get to phrenologist.

I had not known that Coriolis was a person. I have always just imagined it was a descriptive term with a Latin root that probably meant "swirly". Maybe I have to review my understanding of what the Coriolis Effect does. I got as far as Bernard [because apparently we are on a first-name basis] but couldn't get to Hermann. 🎶 Just like an old time movie 'bout a ghost from a wishing well. 🎶

Lothaire Bluteau (Jesus of Montreal) is mine.

Sad to see reports that Joe Flaherty has died. I had not realized he was ill. https://www.tvinsider.com/1129950/joe-flaherty-dead-tributes-sctv-freaks-and-geeks/

I was expecting something different from Che's WU joke about some bars promising to show only the women's basketball for March Madness because I had just been hearing about how exciting the play is and how Caitlin Clark is outstanding. I mean I expected it to be designed to be "offensive" [tee-hee] but I thought it was the laziest possible path to get there. I forget if it was that joke or another one but there was a moment where it seemed like Che intended to insert one of his standard reactions to show how the audience just doesn't get how hilariously edgy he is but then he pulled back because they hadn't given him the right amount or kind of noise to justify it.

As far as I am concerned Jeopardy can have Ken say JIT as much as he wants. Jeopardy Invitational Tournament or even just Invitational Tournament is quite a mouthful. I wouldn't even have thought anything of it if people hadn't been making fetch allusions. Disappointed that Lily didn't do better -- I thought both angst and wardrobe were easy. But Sam got final so it wouldn't have made any difference in the end.

And as @Clanstarling points out, there isn't any reason why someone who doesn't speak in the story can't narrate the action in any case. It does seem like you have to know the book and can't coast on knowing the movie.

I have done neither and I got stuck wondering how one narrates silently. My guess was 1984 as well. I knew "suit up" and 20 on the dartboard. ETA: I thought Monica was delightful and was rooting for her if Chuck couldn't win.

I really enjoyed this interview with Chuck Forrest. https://www.vulture.com/article/chuck-forrest-interview-jeopardy-invitational.html

My thought process was something like "1623, so not ancient, meso- like mesoamerican, hm, but onox doesn't ring any geographical bells, wait, nox for night (so Latin was some use after all) -- but 'middle of the night' is more than one word, whatever shall I do?" [Dramatic pause] "oh, midnight, of course." I knew theremin easily (highly recommend the documentary about its inventor) but did not come up with John Brown or Steppenwolf.

In Henry V, Shakespeare uses both Crispin and Crispian in the speech. Ken could have acknowledged that when he delivered the decision. I didn't go back to check Priyanka (I heard Priyankar) but they claimed Mackenzie had said Priyankra which would be consistent with their pronunciation rulings (no extraneous letters in the wrong place).

I had a look and I have no recollection of ever having seen that one before. I probably would have stood a better chance if the clue had mentioned Agatha Christie.

I was rooting for Arthur to win and was so disappointed in that second DD. I know I was trying to think of the name of an instrument and not just a characteristic of the instrument shown. The wording of the clue was a trifle misleading: I am also mad that I didn't think of vicar, but in my defense I don't associate the term vicar with Monty Python at all. I can't even think of any sketch with a vicar.

I don't think I knew that Al Capone had the nickname Scarface. I thought of the Al Pacino movie which I have never seen and gave up on trying to think of the name of that character. Well of course not, it was a lie. 😀 I would have guessed sunfish even though the fish I knew as sunfish were little and we used to throw them back when we caught them. I was surprised no one came up with Mamma Mia. Very glad to see Amy cruise to victory, especially with such good Latin.

I was unable to think of any lyrics other than "under pressure" which aren't even in this song. I also could not think of the name of the Alan Turing movie even though I saw it with my mother and she brings it up all the time whenever she is struggling with her crossword puzzle.

According to this it was Pete's decision rather than the network's. Good for him.
