Yea, I do tend to yell out answers, I know people who are good at jepordy, but my dad is the only person I have met that can answer questions more frequently then I can, but that was years ago.

I like jepordy, dont think I would do as well as the contestents, but better then the average person I suppose.

Really? My grandfather was like that, too! He loved watching Jeopardy and answering questions.

I don't yell out the answers. It's more classy to say them calmly. I always do pretty well.

years ago, they used to run the same episode twice a day. I was watching it at work on a day that I had seen it earlier. Everyone thought I was the smartest person in the world. :D

A friend of mine said there was a question about Roger Bannister on Jeopardy last week. She said she was able to answer it because of my interest in Bannister. My obsession came in handy.

I'm annoyed. I was looking forward to wheel of fortune tonight but instead it's sports. :roll:

I've got this problem with Jeopardy, LOL. If I know the answer, I want to seem smart and say it out loud, but on the other hand:

1. I wonder if everyone else knows it and is just too cool to say it out loud, b/c it's obvious.
2. If they DON'T know the answer, I don't want to seem too cocky by saying it out loud.
3. I might get the answer wrong.

So in the end, I don't say it. I just let all the answers sort of build up inside me... 8O

No, I don‘t yell out the answers, but I get frustrated watching quiz shows and someone can’t come up with the answer to a question that’s just basic common knowledge.
