Jeopardy.....

[ToraToraTora]

Why do they need to bother with this What is/who is etc BS? Just answer the kin question. Seems unnecessary.

[bednobs]

isnt that the whole concept though? they give you the answer and you hve to provide the q

[THECORBYLOON]

It's the rules of the game but if it upsets you, don't watch it.

[bednobs]

here are the rules: https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/jeopardy-rules-explained/

Uhuh, 8000+ episodes in the US, but what do they know about game shows?

Anyway, easily avoided if it offends. 😏

[ToraToraTora]

yes I know they are the rules but normally rules make sense. In reality you have to know the answer to what they are asking. Appending what/who is is just ridiculous and superfluous.

[douglas9401]

Aye, you said.

[ToraToraTora]

it makes even less sense on anagrams eg

A: Strobil

Q: What is Bristol

Makes no sense surely if you are going to do that then they should be asking: "What is an anagram of Bristol?"

[THECORBYLOON]

If they had to sing their answers to the tune of, "Colonel Bogey", it would be odd but they would have to do it.

I spy works without 'with my little eye' if you just blurt out an initial, but you don't. Because it's part of the game.

 

[naomi24]

I agree, TTT.  It's nonsense.

[douglas9401]

Right! Stop laughing at the back!

[naomi24]

And at the front.....

[-SharonA-]

Questions are hard tho!!!

[maggiebee]

Right, that's The Chase and Jeopardy sorted.  Now for Pointless, Tipping Point and The Weakest Link. Hours of fun ahead.

[ToraToraTora]

what have you done to them maggie?

[naomi24]

I like Tipping Point and the Weakest Link.  Pointless not so much.  I find it a bit boring.  I'd love to have a go on the Tipping Point machine.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't mind pointless, I only watch the celeb ones though. I always think the money is dead stingy.
