Can't believe SSS or other Atlanta-area posters haven't posted this..
As last night's J! aired, I was making dinner and paying attention to the clues --but not closely watching the screen. However, I noticed there was NO daily double in the opening round, even though all clues were read! Thinking this CANNOT be the case, I rewound my TiVo and discovered a major foul-up:
The first segment before break 1 was actually TODAY'S show--they had the winner and the contestants she'll face today. After the break--they went back to the show it should have been...
You saw her with different contestants, Alex in a different suit, and eventually she made her Final J! wager and won the amount they showed her with at the START of the show!
It was like watching some Star Trek time-travel episode!

I don't get to watch Jeopardy much anymore. However, I will note that they moved it from the NBC affiliate to a local station this fall, and I have a feeling that the technicians they use don't have quite as much on the ball as those of the larger station.

They must have hired the people from Columbus, GA WRBL who airs Millionaire. They used to do that all the time. Go to commercial break and come back with a completely different contestant.

They seem to be doing better this year, so maybe they moved to the Atlanta area.
