Posting again for a friend. WEEK 11 • Nov. 22, 2021 — ONE asterisk 51. 20th Century Presidents. He won an election in which he & his Democratic opponent were from Ohio & both were wealthy newspaper publishers. * 52. World Capitals. An annual event called Winterlude includes skating on the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in this city.* 53. Awards & Honors. First awarded in 1731 to electricity pioneer Stephen Gray, the Copley Medal is awarded annually by this organization. 54. Famous Do’s & Don’ts. In 1964 Berkeley alum Jack Weinberg, age 24, told a San Francisco Chronicle reporter this now-famous “Don’t.” 55. Fictional Languages. Lapine is the name of the language created for this 1972 book beloved by children.

Yeah, but I'll bet none of the wheels came off. And Jeeps with winches on the front are built differently than small passenger cars. The writers on this show could be some from The Blacklist, where no episode makes sense if you remembered an earlier episode or season. Watching that show is like Seinfeld's Bizarro World, and I think La Brea is part of Bizarro World writing. I don't have any hope of anything making sense. I just wish they could borrow some of Jurassic Park's CGI artists to liven things up. That galloping tiger was lame. Plus, predators stalking their prey make no sounds at all, no footfalls much less growls. But then again, this show.

No Jeopardy here today even though a new episode will air today somewhere. I'll be relying on TJF and J-archive. I hope everyone is able to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving day.

When I turned over to this show I thought WOW, they really upped the budget for the CGI dinosaurs. They looked great and I was really pumped for this episode, thinking a drive-in movie fell through the sinkhole. I was all in on this episode ... then it turned out to be a commercial for Jurassic Park. Psych. I'm really getting stretched thin about liking this show. I understand this type of show is the big deal right now, but it's just so full of ... well, bogus stuff. I guess writers can write anything when everything is just made up with no rules. Since the cow is a modern Holstein, it had to have fallen through some sinkhole but I doubt there is a dairy in downtown LA. And that cow, while it had an udder, didn't have any milk, and cows need to have a calf before they produce milk. But then again, it doesn't matter in this universe, I'm sure it will produce hundreds of gallons of milk every day from its dry udder. And Stoner, cheese doesn't just happen, it has to be made using ingredients you guys don't have. Can't make cheese with milk and mushrooms. And the cow had a bar code painted on its hair? Hair that it sheds so the bar code will come off after shedding or a few brushings. Animals are tracked/registered by microchips, not spray-painted bar codes, vets and farms have microchip readers to track/record animals. But then again, it doesn't matter in this made-up universe. It's irritating though. I'm waiting for everyone to walk from LA to Seattle in an afternoon to catch tomorrow's sinkhole happening. People hit cows, horses, deer, moose, elk with lesser vehicles than that Jeep yet they never lose a tire over it, the worst is the front end gets smashed in or a fender gets dented. But then again ... this show.

Of course we called Amy being pregnant by her dead boyfriend. It's interesting that Amy didn't give a crap about Rocker Joe before, never told him when she was throwing a party at THEIR HOUSE and ignored him pretty much all the time. But now that her boyfriend's dead, she's all "Oh, Joe, I love you SO MUCH." I call BS on that and hope Joe kicks her ass out, and soon. *slamming door* Bye Amy. Are family holiday dinners always so horrible? They are on tv, and everyone IRL talks about how miserable they are having to spend time with extended family. As someone else posted, Cop Joe probably felt running into a burning building with no protection was better than spending more time at that terrible family dinner.

I do too. If I recall correctly, Alex was not so kind about it. I really like how Ken doesn't call attention to poor scores, which Alex seemed to relish doing. Ken is gracious to everyone and so upbeat during the interviews that Alex loved to turn to about himself or to make fun of. Ken is very much a gracious host and I am enjoying him immensely. The show has never been so smooth IMO. I'm also loving Amy. These are the Jeopardy halcyon days for me!

My first thought was "What, me worry?" then realized Alfred E. Neuman never made a movie. Next was "What's up doc?" since Bugs made plenty of movies although they were mostly shorts. Thank you brain cells for remembering Bond, James Bond in time.

4/5 for me. I forgot all about those Punic Wars. Our contest host sits alone at the Table For Zero. Being half Scottish, our host would enjoy a handout of some of those Scottish treats while she sits alone and thinks how much better life would be in Brigadoon than in Camelot.

I wondered where they were this week. So thanks for posting. I was laughing so hard at the Dog Head Man that I missed most of the dialogue.

Posting for a friend. WEEK 10 • Nov. 15, 2021 — NO asterisk 46. Myths & Legends. This legendary place has been identified as being in Caerleon, Wales & in Winchester, England. 47. Movie Quotes. This 3-word phrase was the protagonist’s second line of dialogue in a 1962 movie, the first in a 25-film series. 48. Final Resting Places. A cemetery on this island has the graves of Robert Fulton & 2 of the first 4 Treasury Secretaries. 49. History. In 1985 the mayor of Rome went to a suburb of Tunis to sign a treaty ending this after more than 2,100 years. 50. 20th Century American Authors. The old courthouse in Monroeville, Alabama has exhibits devoted to these 2 authors & childhood friends.

Actually, Ken's quote on Twitter was exactly this: "I will be coming to your homes individually to apologize for this." after he retweeted Jeopardy's post of a gif of him saying the Amore joke with the caption "Dad joke alert @kenjennings" It was not an apology, it was another dad joke.

All I could think when Travis and Jenny were getting friendly in his motel room was CLOSE THE FREAKING BLINDS ALREADY since anyone walking past could look in. Which, I guess, is what happened. I thought for sure Lindor was going to get drugged when he accepted Mrs. Wolf's coffee offer. If tonloads of people just show up at Wolf's place with their dogs, where have they been all these weeks. And no phone call first? How rude. Can police get finger prints off a styrofoam cup?

I thought that was a reasonable thing to do. I didn't see a big deal in handcuffing the person who tried to kill Ty and steal Lilly. It's not like he hung her with a rope by her neck and she was going to die. In fact, I thought her excessive reaction was fake. And call me cold, but I would have let her die if that's what she wanted to do. People get handcuffed to steering wheels all the time in other teevee shows, it's not a big deal. And if she was too weak to control her "I've been captured by a cult" hyperventilating flashback, she's too weak to live in 10KBC.

This made me laugh so hard. Your recaps @mxc90 are better than the show which can't keep my attention for a full hour. So thanks for those. Park is better off without her heartless not-caring selfish husband. Plus she has her bathroom buddy Ressler so there's the "upside".

If I saw Gavin peeking through the window of my house, I would totally freak out and call the cops STAT. Guy has serious stalker/homeless/thief/serial killer looks. He needs to get down that sinkhole so he can take a shower. And I guess with all the other senseless things happening on this show, it's not out of line that young Gavin is a bright-blond towhead while adult Gavin has dark complexion and jet-black hair and that stupid jet-black beard left over from when he was a doctor and rode a motorcycle. That sinkhole ship could have been one of Magellan's or Blackbeard's. Although I do like that it could be The Love Boat. Haven't seen Captain Stubbing for a while.

Ken deserves props for the proper pronunciation of the national dog of Mexico, the Xoloitzcuintli. It's pronounced Show-low-ex-squint-tey or Show-low for short. I'm sure the behind-the-scenes Jeopardy team gave him the phonetic pronunciation but I was pleased to hear Ken say it correctly. I liked Mayim okay but Ken's hosting skills are putting hers to shame. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to @ams1001's dad, one day early. Hope it's a fun one, tell him we said HI!

Yes, no swim suits or robe wearing in the dining room!

LOL! A perfect description that explains every question posed above.

I watched ATWT every day yet never recognized those two since they no longer are 25 years old. So thanks for the tip!

Late again! 4/5 with 2*. I'll bring a selection of dipping fruit for the chocolate fountain, plus some spoons for people who don't like fruit. Hopefully, we're all "immunized" here.

It made me think of when I'm waiting for my ride that's late and when it finally shows up I say "Geesh, about time, I've been waiting FOREVER." Forever could mean 10 minutes or 10 decades in "modern English."

Same here, Remove those and this episode would have been five minutes long, including commercials.

Happy yet sad Jeri got her long-good-bye scene. My fav character is now gone. I don't get why Wolf captured Ronald and what his end plan is. Or even how he captured Ronald to begin with. Not that knowing that would make this storyline make more sense. I think we are suppose to be sympathetic with the teens' problems they brought on themselves yet are too dumb to end, but I'd be fine with all of them dying, except the boy who is the only one with a partial brain cell. They didn't have a clue that the hobo guy just saved their lives. (And didn't he get stabbed so should be dead?) And now Max's mom is all caring and coherent? Wasn't she a wasted not-caring addict in the previous episodes? This show sometimes!

All of those things are my delicious favorites. Although all together in one meal, I'd have to bring my Tupperware to enjoy some the next day.

Will regular games be shown at their normal times while the tournament is at a special nighttime half/full hour, so two Jeopardy shows per day?
