		<title>TidBITS: Comments on Winning and Losing on Jeopardy</title>
		<link>http://tidbits.com/</link>
		<description>Glenn Fleishman spent an exciting couple of days in August in Los Angeles appearing on the TV show Jeopardy. He won two episodes before losing in the strangest game he recalls ever seeing. But the oddest part is how hard it is to watch the popular program.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[I love Jeopardy. it's my only must watch tv. Since I get up at midnight, thus going to bed very early, I tape it. When they switched networks, I thought it was gone and that must be the reason I missed Glenn's appearances. There are always reruns.  Frankly, it's one of the few shows I really find worth watching.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Try it again. The show varies a lot. Some nights, I'm thinking, the writers are on crack: these are too easy. Other nights they have, I swear, a category devoted to obscure questions about Huguenots!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm a trivia fan, and very good at it, but I found that the shape of the clues in Jeopardy has changed to include more hints than in the old days. Watching at home (under no pressure,of course) got too easy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think it's possible to "run down the clock" on Jeopardy in that after watching for years, you may simply be familiar with enough of the routine material that it's no longer novel. There's a finite set of older information from which the writers draw clues; they drop in "2012 Olympics," but a lot of the show is history and facts.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A long time ago, but in this here galaxy, I was a regular Jeopardy viewer, but the last time I watched it before Glenn's stint was for the showdown with Watson.<br><br>Funny, I really enjoy Jeopardy, and it's not like there's that much decent competition at that hour. But the bottom line is, I just don't watch it that much anymore.<br><br>Congratulations Glenn.]]></description>
