What's up with Jeopardy?

[cyclonefence]

Am I crazy, or is something going on with the clues/answers this week? They seem to be phrased in an unfamiliar way, and the shift from easy to difficult as you move down the board seems really screwed up. I usually don't have a problem with most of the answers (not that I know them all, or can remember them all, but I understand what's being asked for) but this week seems wacky-doodle to me. Anyone else notice this?

1. Yeah, I know what you mean, but

I haven't watched this week. I thought it was like that last week. Sometimes, I can't tell what they are looking for, like author vs title or something. The answers feel vague, as far as which direction they are taking. Sometimes, the easier Q/A or A/Q is the most valuable.

2. New writers? nt
