Well I've got a bone to pick with the producers... Who's gonna tell the Gen Z crowd on this show to keep their inner musings and Minecraft touchdown dances to a minimum?— you can call me al (@rubberbandita) April 28, 2022
She is brilliant That said ..Never, in all the years I've watched jeopardy have I seen someone do this type of commentary. It has me and my wife totally disgusted. Especially the .. should have parts.— Steve (@olesage) April 28, 2022

Criminy, it's a game show not a thesis defense.
Won the last three on final Jeopardy, to be fair Amodio nor Amy had that much challenge in their runs let alone back to back to back. Of course those two pretty much went like the Terminator through the board many nights.
I was thinking it was so wild that she was this big a champ at 23, they could literally maybe bring her back in like 40 years (in 2065 if mankind is still alive) and have her on whatever mental transmission media Jeopardy is on.

what’s the running commentary? like when she says “uh let’s get away from that category”? i feel like lots of ppl do that although she does do it more than average

mattea is crazy good

I like her fine as a person, less so as a Jeopardy contestant but I admit I’m very much over contestants being allowed to just string 25/30/50-day streaks

Some real "this girl is 'annoying'" vibes in here

if my "chatty lady" comment came off that way, i apologize. i legit didn't mean it that way.
i haven't even watched her play and don't know what she's actually doing. i was just up late one night, curious and had just read the dozen or so previous posts.

Yeah, I'm definitely more excited about watching when there's a streak going. And I've already said that I like Mattea's running commentary, but I'm saying it again because I'd much rather watch someone who's obviously having a lot of fun than some of the I AM JEOPARDY-BOT contestants.

ha - I AM JEOPARDY BOTs are my fav contestants. nothing gets me excited like watching some dead-eyed terminator coldly vaporize the board.

Holzauer and Mattea were both great to watch because they are good players who clearly love the game
(but I probably would have gotten burnt out on James if he didn't break dead-eyed kayfabe at the end of an episode, or get zings in on Trebek)

As of publishing time, Roach has solidified her status in the show’s Hall of Fame by winning 22 consecutive games, the fifth best in history, as well as racking up $534,984 in prize money, which will be going straight to her student-loan payments.After the student-loan payments hit, how are you spending your $500,000 and counting?I’m going to continue being really boring with money.

Great thread:
So, I completely fell off in my pursuit to share my thoughts about every game of Jeopardy I played - when I have more time/energy, I hope to compile my memories/analysis somewhere. But right now, we have important business to discuss: the end of my run on Jeopardy!— Mattea Roach (@mattearoach) May 8, 2022

Thanks y'all! I was obvs disappointed but the old saws are accurate: the buzzer speed is really the key, it feels different when you're up there, etc.woulda had a pretty reasonable chance at getting him if i had gotten the double and i bet correctly. Just didn't get it from the context clues. That's the game!
