What is Armen doing right now?
Finally liveblogging Jeopardy...how will it go? I don't know. Just an FYI, currently Jeopardy is hosting it's Ultimate Tournament of Champions so that they are bringing top winners from the past to play for the chance to go against Ken Jennings.
7:00 -- Contestants introduced...one of them is the biggest winner from 88-89 season? Hmm, I was 7 years old.
7:00 -- Alex jokes about wardrobe all are wearing (same color). Not funny.
7:03 -- Black cover with a prism refracting lights...if you don't know this is Dark Side of the Moon, you need a crash course in great music.
7:06 -- Contestant 3 (Dan) gave a talk at Berkeley on humanities and Jeopardy. Mildly amused. Berkeley needs to host the college tournament...it was fun to attend at UCLA.
7:08 -- Is it just me or does Jeremey (no. 2) sound and look like Gary Busey (including drug/booze problems).
7:09 -- Alex being a jackassfor the first time in the game:
Clue: "This mythical animal carried Zeus's thunderboalts" (in the category "It's been a 'gas'")
Contestant 3, "What is an eagle?"
Alex, "No."
Number 2, "What is Pegasus?"
Alex, "Yes, remember gas must be in the correct response."
7:11 -- Contestants being idiots...clue is about dogs used in "this Homeland Security Department agency." Answer given? "What is the American Red Cross?" Sigh.
7:13 -- What the fuck are the rules for the "Hidden books of the Bible" category? Answer must be formed by letters in the clue? If you're a contestant on national TV do you think you can comprehend what the hell Alex said?
7:19 -- Contestant 1 invokes the Ken Jennings/Salt Lake City connection again, but unlike Ken he chokes on the Daily Double.
7:20 -- Well after two round...one contestant down, two to go (guy from Salt Lake choked a little bit more after the Daily Double to end up with 0. Hmm I wonder who the folks in Utah admire more.)
7:21 -- Crap...because of blogging I missed the Final Jeopardy category.
7:24 -- Ok it's wordplay. "Type of war that's 5 letters and can be made using only roman numerals." Shit...umm...oh..civil. That makes sense. Hmmm that was a bit hard .
7:26 -- And we're done. I did not attempt to add as much color commentary as Tacitus in his Civ Pro liveblogging, but I did my best. This of course, is best for those who watch the show religiously and appreciate the dorkiness that is liveblogging jeopardy.
