Jeopardy Guy

He'll change the rules. Starts with the bottom row, goes all-in until he's got a no-lose lead.
Most impressive is his speed and range. Alex may have to pitch in some comp to pay him off. Fascinating a pro sports gambler. No refs to burn him on Jeopardy.
I have not, and didn't hear anythign about it until you posted.
Well this thread makes me want to watch him and the show!
It has been so fun to watch, and makes it must watch. I always have said, why do these people robotically go from low to high, sometimes as time runs out, they leave the high point questions on the board. The other thing he does is randomly cut across topics in order to search out the Double Jeapordy points.
And the way he bets, he is a pro, the rest of these high IQ are pucks, who don't understand the odds at all.
The dude is unbelievably smart, but also like a computer in the way he processes the bets. It is really fun to watch.
And at the end, sometimes he has like 60,000 dollars, the other two people have like 3000, which allows him to bet like 45,000 and even if he would lose, he still would win because of the lead. And then when he nails it, he wins over $100,000! It is amazing.
Jeopardy, unlike wheel of fortune is attracting a wide range of viewers. Everyone tunes into Jeopardy because it's far more enjoyable than watching some idiot barely spin a wheel and stupidly buy vowels for a cost when you know there is a damn vowel there, or too scared to spin and guess consonants that you know are there. If you know there are 2 or 3 Rs, spin the wheel and increase your bank. American Wheel of Fortune is seriously the worst excitement, and really just flat and boring. They highlight Wheel of Fortune in other countries, and it's a lot closer to Price is Right excitement. Dancing singing, having fun, young hosts, hot hostesses that do more than turn a letter.
It's time to change the wheel of fortune platform to attract a greater age range. Maybe even get a little more frisky and exiting like this:

I love when the clue is basically solved with one or two consonants left and the person has like $200.00. Spin the the stupid wheel and at least try for a larger payout.
Unreal performance again tonight. 80,000 + winnings today. Not even close again, the other players were not even over 5,000.
When they went to the first commercial break, he was tied, I was thinking, maybe this is the day. Nope.
they mostly do that when it is a trip puzzle and they will be credited with the 10 grand cost of the trip after the solution..don't mess with my knowledge and understanding of the Wheel/Jeopardy Power Hour..In my now empty nest life (and to paraphrase a classic Pitt reference) it all we got.
The faces from the competitors the second he answers a daily double and instantly adds 20,000 to his total. It’s priceless at the look of instant defeat.
He'll change the rules. ..why, by knowing the questions and being quick on the buzzer? If the dude started at the top he would still win every night. The only rule I would think they would change is being on the show until you lose to stop the next Jeopardy Rain Man (used to be a rule)...the guy's average is higher than the former one day highest total ever
His betting on Doubles and running from bottom up will make the game less attractive. Break up the Yankees!!! The guy is impressive.
NBC should send a hooker to his room late at night. Keep him from making it to studio on time.
Lets be honest, the duo he faced off against last night.....fatty with the fetish to shave her head and weird handlebar type mustache guy wasn't exactly the A team as far as competition. They looked like they would be better served buying a vowel on Wheel of Fortune.
yeah but in all seriousness, Jeopardy is probably getting ridiculous ratings like they haven't seen in 20 years with this guy.. seriously, when is the last time anyone talked about Jeopardy like they are now..
this guy is probably a cash cow for them..
youngsters today...the Wheel/Jeopardy Power Hour following at late 5pm dinner and followed by a slow lapse into sleep by 8:27pm is my life now and been that way for several years.....
The producers need to get a couple of really smart contestants to be competitive with this guy. Then they need to explain to them that they have to employ the same strategy. Be aggressive and bet heavy if you get the daily doubles.
I have been underwhelmed with some of the other contestants during his record run. But, just like yesterday the final jeopardy question was French Authors and he knew the answer so he has really earned his winnings.

Yeah. I am pretty good at Jeopardy because I just have a lot of and almost savant like recall of useless information. But French Authors? Yikes. It starts and stops with Dumas with me on that topic. I never heard of the author that was the answer.
I loved when asked about his college days, and he indicated he barely went to class and spent most of his time playing online poker. He is obviously a genius and a savant of sorts.
have to employ the same strategy. ...they have been and as far as the contestant smarts go, they are what they are... The only way to stop this guy is to load up the daily doubles with questions no one could get. Alex, Potpourri for 2,000...."3,948,169 is my name, now I need to know my square root"

This "guy" has been a ratings boost until now.
I think people are getting tired of seeing him win.
Most game shows have limits on how long you can be the Champ for this exact reason.
Game shows are for the people and game show fans like lots of different diverse winners!
Game shows run on the steady state theory of consistent good rating over a long time.
When this guy goes away, and he will, there will be a return to normal which could lead to a " why watch the show " after that run.
I think people are bored, but tuning in like me to see if he loses, or if he wins by some crazy difference.
Ken Jennings was on the three times as long as this guy to this point and yet it survived and maintained its audience....
Game shows are for the people and game show fans like lots of different diverse winners!...would need to see the data behind that one as you now sound like a politician telling me what people want without really knowing that to be the case...Personally, I'll take a dynasty over parity any day of the week...
