I wonder if the fruit’s opponents are aware that whoever beats the freak may become a victim of a brutal cancel culture campaign.

I’m sure they searched specifically for a smaty trans person to fit the media narratives. The cynic in me also thinks they shade the questons to fit the plan too. It’s why sitcoms and commercials have their prescribed representation of gays, blacks and such. The heavy melanin content in commercials these days is an example. Just for fun see how many commercials with more than one person don’t have a black represented. My count is none.

Trans sexuals are an infinitrsmal part of the population but they must be part of normal life so they can increase. That’s the plan.

She commented that it seems the contestant competing against Schneider are not all that sharp.

I continue to watch hoping that the producers will eventually put somebody up with half a brain. Last night it was really noticeable with both contestants dumb as rocks. I think the entire program is "fixed".

Another man beats women - this time on knowledge.

Feminists must be ecstatic.

The math is wrong-—

“SHE” (really born a HE) was just under 1 million on Thursday night-—about $997,000.

Add $42,000 or so & that total is NOWHERE near $1,512,000

A lot of chatter about why men would be so much better than women at Jeopardy! - a quiz/trivia TV game created by Merv Griffin.

The implication is that because men tend to have more general knowledge than women, allowing them to excel at a game like Jeopardy!, that men are smarter than women. But the real answer is more subtle.

Simply put, men have much more time then do women to gain the kind of general knowledge needed to win at Jeopardy.

This is because the women take on the bulk of the household and child-raising chores.

While the men spend much of their spare time reclining on a couch reading books and watching documentaries on TV, the women are busy in the kitchen preparing and cleaning up after meals. They are making the beds, doing the laundry and going out to do the shopping. Meanwhile, the men are improving their general knowledge by feeding their brains with knowledge and trivia.

Even watching sporting events gives men a leg up. This is because sports broadcasters have to fill a lot of air time with non-sports trivia, such as facts about the city the game is being played in and how weather conditions can affect the play on the field.

When the women aren't doing all the chores described above, they are usually the ones tending to the children or to the elderly relatives in the family, like the grouchy 81-year-old mother-in-law who needs her pills every four hours and keeps on her about the general cleanliness of the house she is supposed to be keeping for her precious son. So she runs around the house with feather-dusters and Windex and Lemon Pledge keeping everything spic and span.

Even when women get a chance to plop on the couch and watch some TV, it's usually with the children, so she ends up watching programs like Sponge Bob Squarepants and Teletubbies - not exactly the kind of fare that makes you good at Jeopardy!

Meanwhile the man is typically in the study watching a Winston Churchill biography. This helps to improve on his Jeopardy! skills, especially when he takes the category "Famous British Statesmen" for $200.

We can be sure that there will not ever again be a category of even easy questions about the x’s and y’s of gender chromosomes.

Stopped watching after Alex Trebek died.

I stopped watching before Alex died. Over the years, have watched close family members die of cancer, couldn't deal with watching Alex suffer the same fate.

Also note that there are never any questions that even lead into or suggest the word "TRUMP."
