I am a bit suspicious of Jeopardy.

Not that I think they are giving them the answers but there are ways to favor certain people.

During the recent Teachers Tournament, there was a whole category about choirs.

One of the contestants was a CHOIR TEACHER.

And he won by running the category.

I am a voice and choir teacher too, and I was not happy about what looked like a set-up.

It is how Dr. Joyce Brothers got famous. Her topic was "boxing", about which she didn't know a whole lot, but research was easy, and she was bright. So she just got some almanacs, etc. and the questions came from those same sources. They thought a petite blonde answering questions about boxing would be cute.
