I tuned in Sunday night just in time for the third round, in which Jalen had two dumb wrong responses and no correct ones, and just had a chance to watch the whole thing, in which he wasn't much better, but at least was funny. I liked his "Even I knew that" when Ike beat him to the buzzer on the WNBA clue, and laughed out loud at his reaction to saying New England instead of Connecticut. Hanging his head and admitting "I lived there for years" was great. But he did not have a good game; Constance got beat on the buzzer a lot (Ike's click pen practicing paid off), but I quickly started watching Jalen's buzzer hand in the wide shot and he just didn't seem to know much of anything that was asked.
I liked him in the post-game chatter, when he said "Two of the times I answered a word that was in the question!" Poor guy; I hope he's not terribly embarrassed by this, and at least he still picked up a nice check for his charity.
Once when Ike said Mayim's name, I thought he said "Ma'am" and was taken aback by the formality for a moment before my brain caught up.
Constance correcting her "Damn it" to "Darn it -- gosh, darn it" was funny. As was "Some people call Titanic The Tit, this is a well-known fact." And I liked the guys coming over to give her a respect fist bump when she went for it all and got it on the last DD.
I was rooting for Constance, as I admire the way she has stood up for herself, have no idea who Ike is, and don't know anything about Jalen (I almost never watch NBA games), but I liked all their charities, so as I usual I just sat back and enjoyed getting most of the clues correct. I even managed to get all but one on the science fiction category, and that was the only thing I missed in the first round. I got all but two (both in stars, another iffy category for me) in the second, and all but one in the third. And FJ was one of my most instant of instagets.
This tournament has been fun this far, and I'm really looking forward to Aisha Tyler next game (and Hasan Minhaj the next).
