This is Jeopardy!

Last night's 2nd chance game was won by Rowan Ward, who's non-binary and went by a different name (which I can't seem to find) the first time (they) appeared. That may be a first for Jeopardy.
 
The worst part about being a fan of Jeopardy is that it’s so easily preempted for stupid stuff like MLB pregame.
 
Well in an exciting finale, Rowan won the 2-day game to get into the ToC. The middle contestant took the lead today, but in a bizzarely incomprehensible and impossible final Jeopardy, everyone got it wrong, and Rowan's first day lead carried him through.
 
I was all pumped for the start of the Tournament of Champions, until it actually started. What a shit show! You have 3 contestants that won a total of 25 games, yet they couldn't even answer half the questions. The categories were stupid, or impossible, or both.

One of the categories included 2 or 3 letters in each clue; the letters represented vowels that sequentially appear in the answer (but with consonants between them). Nobody got any of them correct. And there was at least one other category with no correct answers.

The big guy, Ryan Long, got eliminated. The winner was the woman who always sounds like she had 2 or 3 Cosmos too many.

It wasn't top notch play by any means.
I really expected Ryan to do a lot better.
 
I’ve noticed that some random person uploads the prior day’s Jeopardy episodes to YouTube. So I guess that’s one way I can watch them. Already knowing who won doesn’t bother me.
 
Friday's ToC game was going like the rest, with the top contestant ("puppet-man" Eric Ahasic) falling behind. But then he bet it all on 2 consecutive daily doubles, and quadrupled his score. It was pretty ballsy.
