Yes.
Sometimes I'm amazed at the useless facts I know.
I think the show has been "dumbed down" over the years, though.

Of course, it's like I'm racing agaisnt the contestants.
I used to make money at it. Be in a room w/ people and bet them $1.00 a question. Me against all of them. Somedays, I cleaned up. If your ever hard up for cash it's easy money. :D

I watch it because it tests my knowledge and I learn things from it. It is important to exercise one's mind.

I tend to do this in the breakroom at work. 8O It can be embarrassing, but just cuz its exciting because all those questions are always too advanced for me.

I don't yell but calmly say the answer out loud and the same goes for wheel of fortune.

A couple of years ago, they had an online Jeopardy! game in which you could play against strangers or chosen friends. My friends would get mad at me for having an unfair advantage with History, specifically Biblical knowledge. It was fun until they took it offline.

My teenage daughter stopped watching Jeopardy with me a long time ago. She actually got mad and said that I said the answers before they finished the questions and that wasn't fair. I was so surprised that she got mad!

Yes I do, or more accurately, I did. I haven't watched the show in a year. I also believe the topics have become more dumbed down and generic to include more pop culture garbage I have little or no knowledge of. I remember long ago there was a category on cats. None of the contestants knew the answers, but I did.

I absolutely do! Pretty good at it, too. Even on categories I think I should know nothing about

I miss Jeopardy. One of my old bosses at the library where I used to work had been on Jeopardy quite a while ago.

I used to play an old jeopardy computer game many times every day. I have the board game sitting around my house somewhere. Maybe I will get a chance to actually play it.
