All the talk about time limits is wrong. The time limits apply when there is no answer. Once you answer, you have however long it takes the host to indicate yes or no to correct a mistake. She didn't make it. He did. She was good and I liked her, but she was also generally slow and made a classic mistake of giving an unasked for first name. Ken doesn't make or chose the rules; he just delivers the judgment. And gets the blame. Trebek's obvious patronizing of so many female contestants didn't ignite this level if attention.

Since all 3 players knew FJ, and since Luigi's wagering was highly variable, it's not possible to say definitively whether Harriet would have won. But if we subtract $2K from Luigi's score at the end of DJ (because he would not have rung in on the Le Guin clue), and if Luigi did bet the same ($3K of his now $15,800 at the end of DJ), and if we add $4K to Harriet's score at the end of DJ for the Le Guin clue (giving her $12,600), and if we presume Harriet again bet all but $100, yes, she would have won. HOWEVER, Luigi *did* bet enough to cover Winston betting everything, so, IDK. Would Luigi have bet enough to cover Harriet betting it all? Maybe.

Speaking on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast on Monday, September 19, Davies brought up the concept of offering cash bonuses to contestants who correctly answer an entire column of clues under one topic. The producer, who took over from the ousted Mike Richards in 2021, first touched on the idea last week but went into more detail on this week’s podcast. “I have been thinking about trying out, perhaps in one of our other tournaments this season, experimenting with giving out a cash bonus for contestants who run a category,” Davies said in conversation on the podcast with show producer Sarah Foss and Jeopardy! alum Buzzy Cohen. “It’s a moment in the studio; it’s a great thing.” 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/14149-what-isin-the-media/page/34/#findComment-7661924

It’s ridiculous to call this sexist. Likewise, if Ken really didn’t hear Luigi, then he didn’t hear him. He followed the rules. Sometimes Twitter people just have too much time on their hands. I don’t really care for the idea of adding cash bonuses to the game. I’m not sure why, maybe I’m just a traditionalist. But it just seems gimmicky, and unnecessary. Running a category should be simply a source of pride, just like when I get a FJ at home.

I've been wondering if they can afford to do that, why can't J! afford to pay more to the non-winning contestants? $1000/$2000 seems so piddly. NOW they wanna throw cash at category runners?

And if there is a rule in place that says Ken gets to ask for a repeat if he didn't hear, there should be a corollary to the rule that states that if, upon review of the tape, the contestant answers with a clearly different and correct response, the second response does not count.
