The first tie game after 54 years being on air holy shit!
CrispyMiner there have been lots of ties in the past. There just haven’t ever been tie breakers. In the past, the contestants who tied both were brought back for the next episode.
Also, there was a tiebreaker in 2014 for a teen tournament.
no co champion
The tiebreaker rule is only 2 years old. Everybodyrealized benefits of wagering for the tie and they had to give out too much money.
Alex can you please tell Laura that I am in love with her?
bunch of thirsty savages :{ )
Laura McLean is her name
It’d be easier to get a message to Laura than it would be Alex.
heyyyyyynow fuck off bitch, she’s mine
believe it or not trench, people can actually find women attractive, especially intelligent ones. Shocking i know
I saw that last night. Crazy how it’s the first time.
It’s not the first time there’s been a tie. In the past both players would keep the money and return for the next show. They changed the rules recently.
ah thanks for the correction
Trebek didn’t give a shit .. just meant he had to work a little longer.
Why did you change the rules for tied games?
I like the change. I always thought it was silly for the tied players to move on. Just wondering why the change came.
Charles Lumia
the change came because it was cheaper to have only one winner 😉
cryptozoologist
Lol 😀
Thanks for the info Eamon. I guess we haven’t had any ties in recent times.
Charles Lumia
Cause it’s rigged. Those two women were standing in a pretty strange looking kitchen, don’t you think?
Rusty Shackleford come on Dale, cut it out with that nonsense.
First tie game ever and that’s how he hype that shit up? Let’s hope to not have that again tomorrow… can he be more emotion less?
It’s not the first tie on Jeopardy you dumbass, they just changed the rules. Previously, if there was a tie all tied contestants won, got to keep the money and moved forward to the next show. Several contestants have purposely created ties as gifts to other contestants.
Man why do people keep thinking it’s the first tie ever. It literally says first tie breaker. How can there be not a tie for the past half century that this show had been around. There has even been triple ties.
Alexander Wong..Good point.. I didn’t think of it like that
Joe Schmoe hey I don’t watch Jeopardy, how am I supposed to know they changed the rules. I just expected a little bit more emotions.
What do you call fans of Star Trek and Jeopardy?

I’m not particularly crazy about Jeopardy, but this is good stuff. For Trebek to transition like that, without missing a beat and foregoing the requisite fanfare, into the first tie breaker of his 32 year tenure as host is Zen as fuck.
And I just found that they also had a tiebreaker in 2012 ;P
He seems like an asshole.
I’m guessing it’s because he’s filmed a long stream of these shows in a row and couldn’t give a fuck
No….no I noticed in the last few years he has gotten very snarky and rude towards the contestants.
No it was nothing like this in real life. Look up the Jeopardy subreddit because Laura and Sarah wrote about it. Laura said it was a big surprise and apparently took quite a bit of time to get the tie breaker question set up.
I thought that would be a little more ceremonial considering it’s never happened before. I’m glad they even knew what to do because he didn’t really explain what was about to happen.
Yeah I’m positive they probably took 30 minutes to work out what to do and how to do it. It takes hours to make these shows. Source: was on a game show once
Jason Gates look up Jeopardy! 3 way tie first time ever march 16 2007
They’ve actually recently added new rules disallowing two tying, returning champions to come back for the next show.
This is the first tie, needing a breaker, since the rule change.
Thanks Brennan Sapp.
Under1The2Bridge3 actually on Reddit Laura said it caught everyone off guard and took a while to set up. They apparently had to stand with their backs to the screen just in case the question popped up while the loaded it.
I bet Laura would’ve been pissed if Sarah had won just because her response button registered first. Seems like she knew the answer too but was clearly in second place at the end of the game.
Well don’t get all excited
Game on joe
Lol, why is this horse shit on trending? I know that the trending page is rigged and all but they can’t even put something valuable up there?
Gravity Falls Canada it’s bot on trending tho…
Gravity Falls Canada judging by your writing, trivia and knowledge aren’t your thing. Keep scrolling though, maybe you’ll find something about Slim Jim’s, Marlboro Reds or Mountain Dew.
jack p
Lol you’re an idiot. The trending page is ridged… It’s been a fact for a while now…
It’s on trending because Jeopardy has been on the air for longer than you’ve been alive, and a tie-breaker has never happened before. That in and of itself is interesting enough.
The winner looks like Miranda Kerr…so cute
That was… extremely anti-climactic.
That’s whack. Go back to two winners.
So basically this was decided by who pressed the button at the right time? That’s some bullshit
No, you also have to ask the correct question.
No I agree. I literally watched it and said that’s bullshit out loud. What a shitty way to end a tie by pushing it first. They should of each had to shotgun a beer. The first person who finishes gets da W
Michael Allen So they had to play the game of jeopardy to win the tie-breaker of jeopardy? That’s crazy!
That’s jeopardy…
They managed to tie and the guy made enough money to buy a fast food box meal.
I think only winners get the money now
I thought 2nd gets 2,000 and 3rd 1,000. Havent watched for a long time
she’s hot
I’ll take cutest jeopardy contestant ever for 1200 please. who is laura 💌
Hittin the middle of the board to get one of those daily doubles
Jeez calm down Alex.
Wheel of Fortune is way more lit.
