A Tight Semifinal Matchup Goes to a Tiebreaker - Jeopardy! National College Championship

[@davidglish9287]

Thankyou for putting this on KZbin. Our local station broke away for a storm update after the first person answered and didn't come back until after the tie breaker question.

[@RocketSpam0]

I love you as host of Jeopardy!!

[@chicken2jail545]

This is one of the best Jeopardy matches ever! Well done to all the Contestants and Mayim!

[@Nightingale34]

My folks love Jeopardy. Thank you Mayim and Ken. Great jobs they're doing. Very nice people. Thanks for posting ABC.

[@chrisfinch8637]

That was pretty exciting, for Mayim Bialik to do her first ever JEOPARDY! Tiebreaker on a national stage, during a tournament setting. I kinda suspected that it was going to happen somewhere, but we finally made it. No matter who won that tiebreaker, it was really a thriller and a joy to watch. Great job, ladies!

[@ajsy1090]

2nd overall in Post-Trebek era, 1st was the regular game when Ken Jennings was a guest host in Season 37. Brian Chang won the tiebreaker and secured his eligibility for 2022 TOC at that time.

[@chrisfinch8637]

@@ajsy1090 Well, technically, this was a little different than that one (although yes, it is the 2nd), considering the fact that this was a first on a "national stage" (ABC) and NOT in syndicated form, a first for Mayim Bialik as host, and a first for a tournament setting, with her.

[@ajsy1090]

@@chrisfinch8637 Now 3rd in Post-Trebek era where Christine Whelchel won the tiebreaker and she became a 4 day J! champion & secured her eligibility at the 2022 TOC. Hopefully she will be qualified once the cutoff is revealed.

[@jaylouis8227]

I'm a little saddened that Mayim won't be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy anymore. I enjoyed watching her host. Great personality, cute and nerdy. What's not to love?

[@chrisfinch8637]

I know- it was a disappointing thing to hear, since I thought she was so good and such, despite what other critics think. Wherever she is now, I wish her well, and I hope she’ll be back on “Celebrity JEOPARDY!”, in the future, if at all possible.

[@oregonpaul3752]

I like Liz's sideglance after she doubles her score, but turns out she had not won quite yet!

[@scolley0616]

The look on Kristen's face (she was the only one who knew at that time) told me there would be a tie.

[@chrisfinch8637]

@@scolley0616 I even suspected there would be a tiebreaker. That made me enjoy this series even more. Especially with college students involved!

[@curiouslymavismade]

Definitely competitive at this point.

That was amazing.The girl who won was a New Englander so I was happy for her.I have never seen a match like this.EXCITING

What a close game among of them.

Ken Jennings is the best syndicated version host! Mayim Bialik is the best primetime version host.

[@denisgauthier9191]

I wish Mayim was back on Jeopardy and be Ken’s co-host again

[@SMD24]

One of my favorite shows to watch sometime and as for being on there I obviously know that I wouldn't do good on there since everything is history social studies questions based on the times where I didn't exist and not alive

[@har8397]

She's fine. Ppl just don't like change...

[@Olivia3641]

I don’t know why Mayim is so controversial with choosing her as host! She’s fantastic! I love her! ❤

[@easyenetwork2023]

Her or Ken. At least they aren’t Dr. Oz.

[@redbluebae4397]

I prefer her and appreciate that she stepped down in protest with the writers in solidarity

[@lillllooooo]

Antivaxxer, rape apologist and zionist are controversies shes known for

[@hagninety4116]

She actually is a fantastic host. I really miss her. She always had great energy. It’s not the same without her.

George Gershwin composed my favorite classic song RHAPSODY IN BLUE from The 2000 disney classic: FANTASIA 2000

[@annettemalaski1967]

Yes, I got it right!

[@jerseydevs2000]

It seems this is an alternate clue for a recent Final Jeopardy! answer on the main show during Amy Schneider's run... the clue writers have the Tower of London on the brain.

[@lonewolfx499]

I literally changed my answer from the Tower of London to The Bastille.

[@easyenetwork2023]

I knew it was English, but forgot what the prison was in London. Thought Westminster was a prison, but it is the church where Royals typically get married.

[@chrismccray361]

She was the best host of this show.

[@mellowyellow2022]

Yeah. I had to watch for myself because not only does everyone tell me I look just like her, I also found her endearing on TBBT. I have to say though, it's like she's teaching grade one and gets too over body excited with answers and such. Just not really meant to be a GSH...but maybe after she settles in, she will improve. Now to watch Jennings.

[@richardguilamo976]

First time that we seen a tie in jeopardy.

[@kellycraddock269]

I understand

[@eyeseer1]

Imagine traveling the future just to see Blossom hosting Jeopardy and being a brain surgeon.

[@judymac2590]

I beg to complain....she should have been asked to elaborate....WHICH Gershwin?? Bialik gave her the complete correct answer!!! George or Ira??

She probably didn’t know there were two of them lol.

I’ve never liked the tiebreaker. It’s usually just the fastest buzzer

[@ry.the.stunner]

I mean, outside of Final Jeopardy, that's what the entire game is about.

[@KonohasYeIlowFlash]

That must have been a crazy anxiety-inducing moment. You just tied in Final Jeopardy. You barely have time to process the category, and then you have to be the first, and correct, with the buzzer.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

I get that. But how else could it be done while keeping the character of the game intact?

Cannot stand this person as the host of this show. She just doesn’t fit. If she becomes the permanent host they’ve lost another viewer. Ken Jennings is a natural, sorry to all the mayhem fans but she is just not right for that show.

[@ladylady8738]

Why is it only this woman who is hosting Jeopardy? I'm fed up watching her. I prefer Mr Jennings. I've stopped watching because of her.

[@ratherbfishing455]

Please hire a professional MC. The earrings and clothes?

[@gloriasnell7910]

I do not like the way she hosted the College Student show and insulted Jaskaran Singh by standing miles away to give him the Trophy I know Mr Alex would not have done that and he would have shaken his hand So in future she should not be allowed to host the show and be removed immediately and let Ken Jennings host the show alone If she is going to be on Jeopardy we will stop seeing it We have watched the show since it was first aired

[@PowerDiva]

It might be Covid protocols that don't allow her to physically interact with the contestants. She has to follow the rules that are set for her, can't really blame her for those.

[@marilynlotz7845]

And pls keep Mayim AS host of these specials!

[@dustinsherman449]

Zero emotion it like Alexa is hosting, how is she as an actor this awkward as a host?

[@1parky2]

Mayim's response should have been "Be more specific instead of that's right, George Gershwin".

[@jacksonkloes4967]

They usually accept last names only.

[@theabristlebroom4378]

If there is more then one person who share the same last name and would be a valid answer to this question, THEN "Be more specific." would be the response.

[@1parky2]

George's brother, Ira was also a composer and song writer. They worked together on many projects.

[@nerdy_nurse]

I realize this is 10 months old, but I feel compelled to point out that Ira was not a composer. He was a lyricist.

[@jeanpast7508]

Alex Trebek was Jeopardy. What's up with this tie-breaker question crap. In the Trebek days when both contestants had the same amount of money, both contestants were invited back. It's now the same quality game show so It's no longer one of my game show favorites. 👋Jeopardy.

[@ajsy1090]

In the tournament there could only be 1 winner in every game, so tiebreaker happened but in the regular games it was only implemented since post 2014-TOC Season 31 due to too many co-champions early in the season. Since the introduction in the regular games only 4 tiebreaker rounds happened, two from Alex and two from Ken. Two returning champions won the tiebreaker while two challengers won since the implementation.
