I feel too dumb to be successful at Jeopardy but too smart for Wheel of Fortune. I generally like Jeopardy more though.

I have never seen jeopardy and dont know how it works.

Jeopardy. I'm smart enough to be really good at it (so much so that every one of my friends now refuse to ever play Jeopardy video games against me, because I annihilate them). And even the questions I don't know the answers to are adding information into my brain.

I used to like Wheel as well, but it got really stupid about 20 years ago. My theory was that they ran out of good puzzles, and had to start using terrible ones where the clues barely fit the concept. As an example, "Phrase" used to mean a phrase that was actually somewhat common knowledge or in general usage - then "Phrase" started being used for just any old random sentence that no one has ever really said in a meaningful way before.

I was really good at solving puzzles when I was a kid (I got "Archbishop of Canterbury" off like 4-5 letters, it was my proudest moment ever). But after 2000 or so watching Wheel started hurting my brain with how stupid some of the puzzles/clues were.

The Wheel

More of an opportunity to play along at home

I prefer Wheel Of Money.

Jeopardy because I feel happy when I get the questions correctly. Wheel of Fortune has screwed over a few contestants in the past so I wasn't much of a fan.

It's weird I get more regular Jeopardy questions right than Pop Culture Jeopardy on Amazon. Some of those answers man really makes me feel like the world is going to crap.

Well of course, that's because you're supposed to ask a question instead

I always wondered what the rules were for this

Clue - This food is like ogres because it has layers, according to Shrek

Would it be correct to say Do you like onions?

Always felt like Jeopardy was for smart people and Wheel of Fortune was for dumb people lol

Also I never knew about this until I made this topic. So random

It's tough. As a kid it was... probably Wheel of Fortune. As an adult, I'd be more excited to watch Jeopardy, especially when the greats are competing.

Both are usually pretty unpleasant.

Exactly this. As a kid, I didn't know a lot of the Jeopardy answers, so WoF was funnier to watch, but now its Jeopardy.

Jeopardy. EZ.

Jeopardy is obviously more fair but I'm not going to tell you I have the trivia knowledge to be able to "play along" with it like Wheel of Fortune.

Jeopardy!.

I don't think i've ever watched a full episode of either one. My favorite game shows were legends of the hidden temple and the weakest link.
