None of them has heard the Hamilton soundtrack? Who is the Lewis that two people guessed? Is that a logical miss and I just don't get what their thought process was? New champ seems sharp, but he kept picking a clue and then quickly looking down. Maybe just nerves. Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark. Their expedition started in 1804, so it was a pretty good guess. He doesn't seem to have been married, though. I liked the new champ, too. He was smart and fast on the clues, and did not seem to have too many annoying mannerisms. 5 Link to comment
Conotocarious May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 (edited) Love the new champ. FJ was an easy one for me. Theodosia was Burr’s beloved daughter. Edited May 3, 2018 by Conotocarious 5 Link to comment
teebax May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 (edited) Josh is a little loud, but I was impressed with his knowledge base. Jeopardy contestants need to see, or at least hear the soundtrack to, Hamilton. I saw it with the original cast, and it was fantastic. Obviously I had FJ in an instaget. I also had Wanted Dead or Alive. I didn't have any other TS today. It was a good game overall. ETA I laughed so hard at Josh's story. One of my dream interview stories if I ever make the show is when I won a half marathon while in Army Advanced Individualized Training. It was funny because I didnt even know I was in contention. I was just running and chatting with a buddy and crossed a half step before she did. We were both shocked that I'd won. I was fit, but I was never really a runner. I think I earned a weekend pass, so I was relieved that my friend was gracious about it. Edited May 3, 2018 by teebax 11 Link to comment
Kathira May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 One thing I thought was funny in tonight's game was that one of the responses was "mesothelioma." There are so many ads for that ("If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may to be entitled to financial compensation. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer linked to asbestos exposure.... ) that it's become a meme. There are often ads for it during Jeopardy. Cheeky writers! 17 Link to comment
CarpeDiem54 May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 (edited) Josh needs to use his indoor voice. He was very knowledgeable, however, the picking the first clue in every category thing bugged me. I did like his story. I hated the nasty crack Alex made about Geoff's previous day's winnings. "Yesterday's contestants were so bad that this guy pulled out a win with a really crappy total." STFU! The only TS I got was Wanted Dead or Alive. For FJ I said "either Lewis or Clark" as I figured it was someone about to set off on a dangerous expedition.

saber5055 May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 In yesterday's show there was an answer of "what is a bloody mary" and the clue had the ingredients, including "worcester" sauce. Because of antenna troubles, I didn't hear the clue read. Can anyone enlighten me on how Trebek pronounced worcester? Today was wind free so I got to see the entire show. I liked how Geoff waved hello with his hula hips during his intro. And I understand Maksim Chmerkovskiy has called and asked him for salsa lessons based on his two-day DWTS Latin hips audition. 13 minutes ago, CarpeDiem54 said: I hated the nasty crack Alex made about Geoff's previous day's winnings.

So there's that. 1 hour ago, SHD said: Who is the Lewis that two people guessed? Is that a logical miss and I just don't get what their thought process was? Yeah, no kidding. Kit Lewis? Carson Lewis? Jerry Lewis? How about Lewis Carroll, C.S. Lewis, Edmonia Lewis, Lewis Howard Latimer, Lewis Powell, Lewis Cass, Lewis Morris. I guess that's enough since it was wrong anyway. But even if it were one of these Lewis people, those players needed to BMS. 2 minutes ago, DrScottie said: "If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma ..." Note: The above quote is Kathira's. Please, no one get mad that I did the copy from DrScottie's post. I just wanted to add that I've heard that commercial this way: "If you or a loved one has died from mesothelioma ..." which always made me wonder how I could call that number if I were dead. This episode ended well IMO. Big YEAY to Josh, and Aloha Geoff as you hula yourself back home with your measly $7,599. 9 Link to comment
Jesse May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 Studying up on Hamilton (the show and the guy) would have to be a really efficient thing to study for Jeopardy at this point -- at least one of the writers is clearly obsessed, because it still comes up all the time. 7 Link to comment
Browncoat May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 I am glad Josh beat Geoff, and I laughed out loud at Josh’s story, but I did wish he’d pick clues in order and not skip over the second clue in a category. That bugged me. I only got the TS of Wanted Dead or Alive, and that was from the song. I’ve never heard of the show. I was clueless for FJ. Guess I need to see or listen to Hamilton as well. Thank you to everyone upthread who explained which Lewis all the contestants guessed. When their responses were revealed, I said, “Lewis who?” 2 Link to comment
irisheyes May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 FJ was an instaget, since as soon as I read it, I heard Leslie Odom start singing “Dear Theodosia” in my head. (BTW, that man’s voice is like fine wine.). I can’t believe that none of them had ever heard the Hamilton soundtrack! 6 Link to comment
Grundoon59 May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 For me, FJ was an instaget from Theodosia. Haven't seen Hamilton but hear Dear Theodosia on Sirius Broadway fairly often. Also a few years ago, there was a novel about her. Plus early American History would be a good category for me. Odd that both the guys picked Lewis though although the year may have misdirected them. Also color me sad that Steve McQueen and Wanted Dead or Alive was a TS. I feel old. ☹ 5 Link to comment

Bastet May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 (edited) Only Alex would start the show by pointing out how paltry the champ’s winnings were. A picture of Albert Einstein, seriously? And the Braille clue as a DD? What the hell has happened to this show? I loved the huddled masses category, though, so once they got going on that one, I was less cranky. I was pleased by the Asian capitals category, too; that’s the area of the world in which I’m weakest on capitals, but I ran it. The Islamabad clue seemed a bit too easy for a DD, though. Descartes was a surprising TS. I think there was only one TS that also stumped me, but that’s the one I was surprised to see no one get. FJ was an instaget, but I don't think I'd have even known it had I not seen Hamilton. Edited May 3, 2018 by Bastet 10 Link to comment

tallykat May 3, 2018 Share May 3, 2018 Josh’s story reminded me of my brother-in-law, who is also from the NLR area, who was in a marathon (he races in a wheelchair) and the race was called due to serious inclement weather. He refused to abandon the race and the police finally told him they would not be there to support him. Yeah, he finished the course in the pouring rain. I hadn’t thought about cars that might have wanted to use the road, I just thought he was stupid to be rolling in weather that included a tornado watch! FJ: I thought about 1804 for about 2 seconds and said “Aaron Burr.” I’ve never seen Hamilton and have never heard the sound track. It just made sense. I’m sure that having the play so prominent nowadays didn’t hurt. Lewis and/or Clark? I don’t think they feared for their life at the start of their expedition. They were planning on writing many, many letters and reports on their journey and returning to “civilization” at the end. Pretty incredible that Josh had almost 30k and it was not a runaway. 2 Link to comment

Edited to add: I got the moors clue too. Edited May 4, 2018 by Mindthinkr 3 Link to comment
secnarf May 4, 2018 Share May 4, 2018 FJ was an instaget. As a main plot point in the movie was that the city was under Nazi/Vichy occupation, it was really no different than Paris in that respect. I think I actually did know that fact about the NY opening as well. Was surprised none of them got it - I would have thought at least one of them would. 8 Link to comment

Get off my screen!! There, that should do the trick. ;-) Yeah! He's a doody-head and ucky. 1 hour ago, PaulaO said: Alex is on RuPaul tonight! Really? When I search, it doesn't show it's on tonight. I'll have to look more. The TSs I got tonight were butterfly and Pauley (Walnuts). I didn't get FJ. The only film that came to mind was Dunkirk, but I knew that wasn't correct since Dunkirk wasn't liberated. ETA: It doesn't look like RuPaul's Drag Race is on tonight for me. :( There's a bunch of movies on VH1 tonight. Oh well. Edited May 4, 2018 by peeayebee 4 Link to comment
