Celebrity Jeopardy!

I watch every episode of Jeopardy. I love that show! This celebrity version is not that show. This celebrity version is an insult to Jeopardy fans everywhere. The regular Jeopardy has 61 questions over a1/2 hour. The celeb version has 3 rounds with a total of 91 questions over 1 hour. The questions are dumbed down, even in the third round. In the second episode the celebs made stupid comments between every question/answer. They were attempting to be funny. They were not. This show has no respect for the game. Mayim acts like she is hosting a party game in her living room. Of the first 6 celebs, only two could compete on the celebrity episodes that were hosted by Alex Trebek. This trash would not be on television if Alex were still with us. No season 2.

I was really looking forward to this program. First episode was bad and the second even worse. Other than episode one's Simu Liu, everyone else can't really be called celebrities. Then, they're stupid as hell. Second episode I knew every single answer and they just stood there with blank looks on their faces. Plus, all the questions were extremely soft balls and yet they didn't answer or were wrong. They act like they're drunk and treat the program like an improv comedy show. I couldn't cancel it off my DVR recording list fast enough. Couldn't take another minute! What a dumpster fire of a miss!

Jeopardy is my version of doing crossword puzzles to sharpen my mind. This celebrity version is totally mindless. The questions are absolutely juvenile. I can easily answer almost every clue. It is as if it was designed for a twelve year old. It is such a dumbed down version of the real show. And, the so called celebs spend so much time trying to be cute and entertaining it is just annoying. These celebs are little known and are auditioning for affection and attention at the expense of the show. It is really sad to see people so desperate for attention.

I think it is a disgrace that Jeopardy approved this show. I know it can be better in time.

Remember when SNL imagined Jeopardy with vapid, ignorant celebrities?

Well ABC straight up stole the idea.

Watch as millionaires stare blankly at the cameras when asked questions like "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb".

This is astonishingly bad.

The 30 minute format we all know and love is now a bloated affair, 30 minutes is now collectively spent between rounds as the host makes inane small talk with the dumbest contestants ever. You'll be yelling at your TV halfway through episode one.

None of these people know how to play the game, their wagers are a joke, "true daily doubles" almost never occur because they're all afraid to go big.

Also, was Mayim EVER interesting or charismatic?

She's pleasant enough but man is she a bore.

Triple Jeopardy is a nice touch though so there's that.

Some contestants were a little to much, and yes at times they could be childish, but I think the show is fun for thise who want it. Some people think jeopardy is just for super smart people, so its nice that they have celebs on. I think it should be renewed, but maybe moved to an earlier time slot. I do believe they coild find a different shoe to put on in prime time, or maybe move it to a Monday. I still think kts a great program, with a decent host, and okay contestants. So I look forward to seeing the show back this fall.

I don't know what else to put here, because theres a minimum character limit. So I'm just using this fill the space.
