Very, very excited for you to hear this. Two years in the making with an incredible team, it's the niche sports drama of your dreams: curling teams fighting over a broom that's deemed too powerful. I doubt you thought coming into 2024 you would fall in love with a few curlers

The Jeopardy rules used to be that in case of a tie, the tied contestants would win their cash and get to come back. In 2007, Scott Weiss recognized the possibility of a three-way tie, so instead of bidding $2601, he bid $2600 so they could tie and all win their cash. It ruled.

There have been some very good CJ players, to be fair. Last year’s final was unreal and Ike is a serious player. But this is so cool. It makes me wonder 1) has she not been on because Jeopardy didn’t believe her email address was the real Emma Stone or 2) is her score too weak
