Is the show "Jeopardy!" appropriate for a 10 year old?

My daughter is ten years old and she has been watching a television show called "Jeopardy!" with our babysitter. I've never seen it since it's on when I'm at work and I just don't watch much television. It looks like it's a game show of some kind from their website, but I didn't see any sort of maturity rating. Specifically, is it a "clean" show like "Wheel of Fortune" or is it wild with people yelling at each-other and swearing?Is the show "Jeopardy!" appropriate for a 10 year old?
It's about as clean as anything. The format is that three contestants provide the questions for trivia answers that are given. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFR3lOm_x鈥?/a> -- though this was a special version that pitted two human contestants against a newly developed computer program. The format and types of questions are the same, however.

The sorts of things that are likely to crop up are word play, current events, history, geography, literature, etc. One I recall from last week (I've watched it off and on since I was very young) the category was US Constitution, and the answer was "the longest period in American history with no changes to the Constitution was from 1804 to this year ".

Extreme behavior you're likely to see on that show includes applause, the occasional bounce up and down, and handshakes after the game.

Oh, and I found a copy of a recent game board for you, so you can see a fairly common set of questions: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?ga鈥?/a>
What the hell? Jeopardy is probably the most safe, boring show on television. There is no cursing, nudity or anything entertaining. Its entirely educational Im suprised she even likes it cause I cant even watch it without wanting to die of boredomIs the show "Jeopardy!" appropriate for a 10 year old?
Oh Yes... my son really loves to watch that show, he loves to read and learns a lot of watching Jeopardy. He likes the game show called "Are You Smarter Then a fifth Grader". My son is 11yrs old.

Jeopardy is a clean game show like wheel of fortune , definatley no cussing like the Maury show , haha . But it's actually quite boring in my opinion .
Yes, most yes of course. It is not like Jersey Shore...
It's clean, like Wheel of Fortune. She probably won't understand or know most of the questions, though.
