You watched episode 8?

Edit. I see what you mean. They aired the wrong episode and someone uploaded it. Nice.

So, the movie quote expert doesn't know a quote from one of the most iconic movies ever?

“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.”



That was probably the worst one I've seen on this show

I'm going to be an optimist and say it was just the pressure causing him to draw a blank.

So a lot of the contestants were given a category based on how they answered a survey.

They interviewed each contestant and asked what each of their hobbies are and what interests they have. Then assigned them a category based on the answers.

The guy who had "junk drawer items" and was a comedian. So they thought he was well-rounded in off-hand subjects and gave him that.

The show is also filmed in Ireland and they were able to film about 1-2 a day. Between episodes, they were able to study their topics between filming. That's why you see the early ones struggle in the first episodes with less prep time.

If I said I liked sports and hobbies were staying active. My subject could be "gym equipment" or "sports movies" or "famous athletes" for example.

Some people got to pick a specific topic if it wasn't popular, international foods.

What drives me crazy are the people who continue to stay on the podium early in the game to try to acquire more squaree.

1) It's a stupid idea early in the show because you're increasing your chances of being eliminated. The only way you lose is being on the podium

2) You make yourself a bigger target with every sqaure you gain and add more attached targets.

3) The key is to acquire 2-3 squares and sit on it for as long as you can. One by one, the big target will get picked on and eventually eliminated. Keep your chances alive by laying low and studying your current and neighboring topics

That was a BS topic. It was "famous people on the Simpsons" then changed the next episode to the Simpsons. I thought it was going to be something like this

I actually like this angle. I figured would be Simpson trivia, which I don't have a lot of interest in, but liked this type of curve they have put in a couple of categories.

It had nothing to do with The Simpsons. It was basically “name this celebrity” lol

Good Lord, that 23 year old chick was annoying and she was too young to realize it.

A friend of a Friend was on Jeopardy a few years ago. He said it's a whole different ballgame when you're playing in front of the camera.

she stuck her tongue out and blew ole boy's mind.

She's pretty hot. Especially compared to the rest of the field.



Waiting for someone to tell Rob he can't say whale since that fat chick has 13 squares.

I didn't spoil anything, I just said he made the finale. I have no idea who wins and how far he makes it past then. Spoiling would be like he was eliminated _th place

I haven't checked since last week but I thought they were just releasing the day after it aired. Weird.

Either way, glad I missed your spoiler.
