I like Mattea and don't find any of her mannerisms annoying. I'm surprised she's so polarizing. She certainly knows a lot. I like Amy too. Matt did seem to be sandbagging, or maybe he was just having fun. The two opponents he faces next both had blow out games. That match will be interesting.

It also seems to me that $5,000 is a paltry amount to come back for if you don't win. Not even $10,000 for 2nd place.

I was really hoping Margaret would win and unfortunately I think it was the Fallopian Tube response that allowed Tyler to get a head. If both Margaret and Brian hadn't given a wrong response, I don't think Tyler would have rung in. I wonder if her FJ wager would have been different had she been ahead. She played an excellent game.

I loved Margaret during her original run. I'm sad she didn't bet it all (a tie would have been so exciting) but she was always pretty cautious. Congrats to Tyler.

She was all over the internet during her initial appearances (4 wins). She seemed really giddy (not like rowan, though) and some people thought she was drunk. She was a lot calmer this time. Ryan seemed nervous.

It doesn't seem to be a popular opinion, but I really like Amy and Mattea and I wouldn't mind if Rowan joined them as the last three standing.

To be fair, it looked like Sadie tried to buzz in quite a few times, maybe Jack too, but he wasn't as obvious. Rowan is just so darn fast. Wow.

Rowan is a bit much. But I agree. I would love to see her go head to head with Matt Amodio again.

The comment about Jessica only being a 2 day champion, and that 3 and 4 day champions would have loved an invitation back, led me to look them up. There are five 4 day champions playing in the TOC. I don't know if that's more than usual. Only two of them went over $100,000, which I thought was another criteria to qualify. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say Jessica is only a one day champion. But I like her so it doesn't bother me. And those are the rules they chose.

Yes, it's been quite a ride for her I was rooting for Jessica the first time around. It's great she gets to go to the TOC. Would love to see her play against Jonathan Fisher again.

I liked Cindy's dress too. I'm glad Jessica won. I was rooting for her when she was on with Jonathan Fisher and she came so close.

I just wanted to say, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I'm not a fan of Mayim but she was much more palatable on Celebrity Jeopardy, maybe because it isn't as serious. It was kind of fun.

I agree.

It didn't sit right with me either. It wasn't so much that he ruled the woman's answer incorrect, it was that he gave the champ (unfairly, I thought) a 2nd chance to give the correct answer. I like Ken, but how could he not have heard what we all did. However, the article made it sound sexist, which is ridiculous.

I thought Ken did Alex proud on his pronunciation of genre. Also well done.

I'm sure someone will have the real answer for this, but it seemed to me that Matt and Mattea (especially Matt) would buzz in first and then work out the answer to the clue based on the wording of the clue. And they were both knowledgeable enough to be able to do that. It seemed like Amy only buzzed in if she knew the answer right away. I think Matt will have the advantage because of his style of play. Which makes me prefer Amy or Mattea. Just a personal opinion.

I'm sure it will be very funny (because of Ken). You all will have to let me know.

Yup, you and @M. Darcy and lots of others!

I could be wrong, but based on the last two nights, it seems to me they are bringing back people who did really well overall. The previous night Cindy had 16,000 before she lost (and I think if I remember correctly if she had bet it all she would have won). And last night Jeff had 16,000 before he lost. So it doesn't seem to matter why they lost, they played well overall thus giving them a second chance.

I hope they keep "hosting" for Ken and change her to "hosting" also. There is no "The Host."

I wonder if Ken will still be "hosting" Jeopardy while Mayim is "the host?" What a dumb (and cowardly) decision.

This was my first reaction. I have no other words for this stupid decision.

This is exactly what I thought. In this case, I didn't expect a BMS.

I was just going to say the same thing. The show was faster, smoother and more enjoyable. And Ken didn't laugh at every daily double.

I hope they stopped using her because she did nothing for their product. It was all about me, me, me. I always thought she came across as smug in that commercial. I've seen the new one and it uses ordinary people to sell the product. More believable, in my opinion.
