Less interesting than you'd expect, as it was for a rapid mobile app prototyping class.
We had a telesync'd demo that let you play along with a Jeopardy episode by yelling answers at your phone. The app knew the timing markers for when the question was asked + when a contestant answered, so would only give you credit if you beat the contestant with the correct answer.
Our model user was "people who yell answers at the screen when Jeopardy is on."
Still think it would have made a decent companion app to the show though...
Trebek's elocution is just something you pick up on after rewatching an episode enough times. He has really interesting ways of emphasizing things, but they seem normal if you're just listening to them once through.
