Just about as many 'runaway' wins as James, through his first 15 games (game 16 is tonight).

Apparently, he was born in Buffalo, moved to Arizona while in 3rd grade, and was a rocket scientist before going into teaching.

Very interesting. Well I guess Jeopardy isn't rocket science to him.

Just heard about this guy on the Radio. I'll be checking him out tonight.

In tonight's show, he wins $1.7 million dollars, besting Turd Ferguson whose Final Jeopardy question was "What is my butt!"




Oh yeah - should have mentioned: spoiler alert!

 

[JarHeadJim]

Of Course as soon as I start watching him he loses.

In other Jeopardy news

Twitter loves how savage Alex Trebek is during awful game of 'Jeopardy!'

At one point Trebek said, “I'm so glad this is not a Friday show, because I wouldn't want to end the week with a low-scoring Final.”

Yeah, we thought the same thing. Must have been a bad week for Alex.

All the episodes for a week are filmed on the same day.

I know that. I meant maybe he was having a bad week of chemo, or pain, or something. He's usually not like that.

I feel so smart I knew Mickey Spillane and Holzhauer didn't. He's running away with the TOC. 2nd and final day tomorrow.

Can we please not post results/spoilers until after the shows have aired throughout the country?

The episodes all run on the same day (in 99% of the country) at different times.

I would suggest either not clicking on the thread, or read it after you have watched the episode. We don't want to tell people when they can or cannot post something.

Damn. Was able to SlingTV into a friends house in the Midwest and watch. Emma put up a great fight and had the Day 2 lead going into FJ, but the Day 1 led from James from insurmountable. That was a great tournament.

 

[obliterata]

She's really good and proved it wasn't a fluke when she beat him in regular Jeopardy, she held her own in this tournament. James is one of the all-time Jep greats, if he didn't build up a big lead on Thursday he would've lost.

thats like saying if they didnt score alot of points they lose. lol

I don't know if watch Jeopardy much or not but the Tournament of Champions is a 2-day event, she outplayed him tonight. If he had a small lead going into tonight he would've lost, he only won because he was way ahead yesterday.

It's a two week event. Last night was the 2nd night of a two-night final. 15 total contestants.

Yup, you're right. I meant the finals of The Tournament of Champions, I was just addressing the last 3 contestants who are the only ones with a chance to win it all - that part takes 2 days.
