Tough loss for my rooting interest, Holzhauer, by $200 to Jennings, but Holzhauer’s still bringing his social media A game.
No Daily Doubles for James and he almost stole it at the end. Blew a $200 question I believe late.
Jennings likes to stay in the zone, and play stall ball toward the end, bit's forty minutes of hell all the way with Holzy.
Agreed - I pointed out the Brad/DD thing to my wife.James has been very impressive given he hasn't hit many daily doubles. Brad's performance has just been bizarre. I think he hit a daily double on the first question 3/4 of the second rounds. Then missed them. Which is also unusual because these guys almost never get questions wrong otherwise.
He did it again tonight! And missed it.James has been very impressive given he hasn't hit many daily doubles. Brad's performance has just been bizarre.

Tonight he missed some as well. Thought he had a shot in Game 2. $5000 vs $0 lead and lost it all on the DD. Missed a huge opportunity there.Agreed - I pointed out the Brad/DD thing to my wife.
You just don't expect these guys to miss questions. I think James missed 3 last night - I was stunned.
Then again, on the first show, I think they ran the board in both rounds in the first match (or at least in Jeopardy, maybe not in Double).
And turd Ferguson.I wish they would let Sean Connery play a round with these guys.
I also want to know this. Do contestants only hear the question, not reading it too? And when can they buzz in? Feels like most of the time it's a crapshoot who can buzz first and once you get a question that person's buzzer is a bit quicker on the follow-up question(s).what are the restrictions for buzzing in ? it's clearly not after the question has been asked. is it as soon as alex speaks ? seems like these guys just gamble and buzz in not even knowing the question.
How many more rounds of this? I never watch this show but I tuned in last night and assumed it was a re-run.
Their is a TV screen for the contestants to read the clues. Next to that are lights that go from Red they can’t buzz in, to green they can buzz in. Once it turns green the contestants can buzz in. It’s a science and buzzing in fast is a skill.I also want to know this. Do contestants only hear the question, not reading it too? And when can they buzz in?

james won because he played the game better than most of the people. not because he was always the smarter one answering questions.
Obviously depends on the category as well. Like Foods that start with the letter Q.the smarter people are, the more chances they take they will know the answer and buzz in, but they still dont buzz in on every question so there is some thought involved.
more like i know that and come up with the answer.
