It's like watching the Yankees, after a while no one cares and it's just ridiculous.

He has actually done quite well in the sports categories already.

It's on at 3

WHAT? i comes on at 730 here, after wheel of fortune

It's because the time changes screw everything up. When daylight savings is observed again it will be on at 7:30 for them.

apperently the time change in West Lafayette Indiana is 4.5 hours instead of 1 :confused:

Actually, the time change is West Lafayette, IN does not exist. The problem arises when time changes for everyone else and most of Indiana does not observe daylight savings. In Lafayette we don't have the same issues as Northern IN since our TV channels are based out of Indianapolis. However, northern IN channels are based out of Chicago and the time change screws everything up. Jeopardy, for example, comes on at a random time in the afternoon because it would otherwise overlap with the local news.

This same issue can be seen in areas such as the Chicagoland area and the Houston area.

ok so you state is stupid
i got it

That's surprising, usually nerds are weak in that area.
What's his weakness then, I thought I heard he bombed some really easy ones from certain categories?

I watched a show about a guy(Michael something I think) in the 70s-80s who went on that "Whammy" show and knew how to beat the game so he just kept winning till he got to $1Mil or $100K or something, and then he bombed it on purpose to quit. That's what this guy should do. You would think you'd get bored of doing that well at something for so long, I know I would. He can't be that hardup for cash that he's gotta keep ripping on Jeopardy.

He sucked in the Category: American Idol.

He got the last question though because the other two didn't know how to pronounce Ruben Studdard.

He's Mormon, 10% of the winnings right off of the top for tithing which he says he's going to do, or already done. I read they tape these shows something like 3 months in advance and they do a weeks worth of shows (5) in one day. So, really, only about a weeks worth of work for a cool million so far.

Of course, this is big news here in Utah. Makes the local section every day for about the last 2 or 3 days (or longer).
