I quit watching Jeopardy when they had that crazy black woman from MSNBC (the one who wore tampons for earrings one time on her show) on for the celebrity show. Her and Alex had a nice conversation about her support of the occupy movement and lesbian and gay issues. I changed the channel and I havent watched it again.
She WAS obnoxious. With all the fringe people on TV being made to feel important, too many think everything they embrace is the most important issue ever. Meh.
I actually think Jeopardy is rigged to some extent.
There are all kinds of ways they can tip the scales without going to the point of giving the answers.
I had a friend in grad school who was a jeopardy fanatic and had applied several times. He also thought they did some things to help certain candidates.
