hahaha, awesome!! The answer totally is RIM, I live across from a dozen of their buildings. And if the category is "Non-edibles" and they wanted to say "Blackberry" there should have been a better answer!
The company is RIM, not Blackberry. That's the point. It's not a matter of being critical -- critique really has nothing to do with it -- it's a simple point of information; it's a factual error on the part of Jeopardy. Blackberry is a product line.
LOL Jeopardy FAILS. "THIS COMPANY'S" is RIM of course. If the answer was supposed to be "BlackBerry", the question would be "The Bold 9000 is among this series of smartphones". "Company" would've been left out altogether.
wow your an idiot.... if you don't know who Jim balsillie is.... total moron.... hes one of rims chief officers... aka BIG DICK..... i cannot believe you work there and you don't know who Jim is. dumb ass!
jim balsillie is president of RIM. he tried and failed to get a professional NHL hockey team here in my hometown hamilton ontario, 3 times! i have nothing but respect for mr balsillie
you're stupid the category is "Non-edibles" meaning the statement is based on a type of food that is non-edible meaning it would have to be "Blackberry" since there's no food called "Research in Motion"
What a poorly phrased answer/question. I think you could make an argument that the question was for either the series or the company. Fail on Jeopardy's fault for writing something so ambiguous.
No, more like "is among THIS COMPANY's series". If they wanted the series, the clue would have read "this series". But, it reads "this company", which obviously is asking for ... the company. Besides, the Bold 9000 is listed as AMONG the series from THIS COMPANY. So the correct response is What is Research in Motion?.
That's a very good point ricepaddy. I believe the question is written in a very misleading way. If they were looking for the series then they should have mentioned RIM in the question... and if they were looking for the company then they should have mentioned the word Blackberry. I think they planned on giving points for both "Blackberry" and "RIM".
Yeah, that was probably the case. Personally, I also thought "Blackberry" should have been in the clue. Or if they wanted Blackberry as the response, they should have put "Research in Motion" in the clue somewhere.
Anyway you slice it, Jeopardy! didn't have their usual form and attention to detail when they wrote this question. Not their best moment.
also, if I'm not mistaken this is Alex' final season on the show, which can make it fun to watch because he doesn't give a care anymore, and he makes fun of the contestants when they fail.
This is bbgeekchic of BBMotion, what's sad is that she was wearing a MINNESOTA gophers jersey, and I'm from MINNESOTA. Hello....its RIM tard, not BlackBerry. Sheesh.
The real Problem is SHE DID NOT SAY "WHAT IS" IN FRONT OF HER ANSWER!

Blackberry is the wrong answer, fools. "...is among this company's series of smart-phones."
The answer is for "This company". Blackberry is a series, yes, but the statement wasn't focused on the series. It was focused on the company.
