As someone who was on the actual Jeopardy, let me tell you how hard the buzzer timing situation is
(I know that was shameless)
No shit! Is there any remaining footage? How did you do?
I’m sure there’s footage, It was like a year and a half ago, but my eps only run the one time as far as I know. Got 2nd. Was kinda bummed at the time just bc it was one of those games where nothing is in your wheelhouse and I just couldn’t get the buzzing in right
That sucks you didn’t get good topics. Why is buzzing in a challenge? Isn’t it just pressing a button?
It seems like just the fact that you’re on stage with lights and cameras on you playing for real would make it way harder than just playing along in your living room. I’d be nervous about blurting out something completely regular and outing myself as a dumbass in front of thousands of people.
The buzzer issue is you can only buzz in when the host finishes speaking and a light (which you don’t see on tv) goes off. If you go too early, you get frozen out for like half a second, which is all it takes to not get in there if everyone’s buzzing in. I don’t think I buzzed in he entire first commercial break.
Yeah a lot of champs that go back to play in tournaments talk about how they practice the buzzer more than study.
I think about taking the test and seeing if they would give me a chance but I'm dyslexic af and never really learned how to spell. I would be terrified to get to the final question even though it's one that I usually answer
That whole paragraph had red squiggly lines under it when I finished typing it
