I just finished watching. This was good. Drew provided a ton of
background info about Jeopardy and talked about his personal situation
which might explain why he messed up in the final game. Also a lot of
talk comparing Jeopardy to Survivor. This was mostly Stephen and Drew
talking. Rob was pretty quiet through most of the podcast. S50 was
also discussed.
This is something a bit unprecedented. For the first time in my memory,
Rob's podcast got a shout-out on a major news site. Apparently Drew's
comment about having to re-tape his reaction to winning that tie-break
question in Final Jeopardy was considered sufficiently newsworthy to be

Good for Rob. What's funny is that at the beginning of Drew's run, Rob
had no idea he was even on. A fair number of people on SM were slamming
Drew during his run for getting too excited after answering a question
correctly. I guess Jeopardy wants to maintain a "classy"/conservative
image. I'm surprised the Fox News article didn't also mention Drew
arguing with production about his "Impend" answer. Drew was right about
that. Total bullshit they didn't give that to him.
Another thing Drew said that I wish they would have talked about more,
was his comment about not filming all of his episodes at once and flying
back home to Philly during his streak. That sounds crazy to me.
