Jennings and Bialik just aren’t good hosts. It’s hard for me to watch either of them.

Alex >>>>>Jennings>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bialik.  I like Jennings and he was far and away the best of the guest hosts they paraded through last year.

I hated to see Ray go down on Monday.  He was one of my season favorites.

Don't know about the daily Jeopardy show but she is hosting Celebrity Jeopardy.

Ahhhh that must be it. The ol' reassignment to get someone out of the way. 

I think Jennings is great fwiw. Anyone complaining that he isn't as good as Trebek is being silly.

Please spare me the high school reunion shit. Obviously Miyam is hosting but the boards are stupid. It's either really easy shit or overly academic/school subject knowledge that isn't really trivia. 

Just give me Jeopardy dammit.

No.  We actually want stupid shit for Miyam to host.  Otherwise, she might go back to hosting the real Jeopardy.

We don't watch anything with Mayim, and have always skipped the easy/softball tournaments (Celebrity, College, Pundit Week, Kids, etc.). Teachers is the easiest one that we watch. 

I think Ken is doing a great job. I appreciate his occasional snark during the interview portion.

They put some sports questions up. Four easy ones and the last was about polo. The fucking nerds missed every single one in the category yesterday and it was obvious the dog faced host didn't know the answers either.

Yeah that was amazing. The one about golf that dude guessed water polo.

Did they get rid of Bialik? Haven't seen here in forever. 

One reason she hasn't been hosting is because her regular show filming schedule interferes with her hosting in the fall/early winter.

Frankly it was nice because Ken is rounding into a really damn good host. Is he a step down from Alex? Yes, but he's closing the gap.

Yeah, Ken is really good now.  I hope they'll have the balls to drop Blossom.

Yesterday's game was infuriating with the dumb, cowardly wager on the last DD and then the dumb FJ wager on the double stumper.

I just watched Monday's show.  The leader hit a DD on the final clue of DJ.  She had 21400 and 2nd place had 12400.  She bet 3000 and got it right, leaving her 401 short of a runaway game.

Where do they find these innumerate clowns?

Wait til you watch today's game. Flash backs to Cliff Clavin.

Oh, also from Monday's game, the UNESCO category clue about the castells (human towers) hit close to home.  I saw that in person at the Santa Tecla festival in Tarragona.  It's very cool although watching the 8 year olds in their little helmets climb up to be the toppers is frightening.
