Hey, why does British clapping always sound so much more dainty and civilized than American clapping? Were we brought up to clap wrong? I've been to a few filmings of Jeopardy! and it's just a studio audience with a sign above the stage that flashes "clap", so people clap like they're at a baseball game. But holy hell, you all make it sound like you're watching Wimbledon and sipping tea with one hand and clapping with a pinky. [edit] Watching this thing... wow. I thought I was good at Jeopardy! and I'm not bad to have around trivia nights. But this is absolutely insane. I've never felt dumber to be an American. These kids are stellar. Like, glorious shining examples of what I wish American kids were like. I love that they're all from different countries, as well. Staggering.
