I agree. Especially since sport betting is legal here (2 casinos have it so far).

We watch it every day here also!

He just wrapped up day 29

When its on they run 3 "needtoimpeach" commercials during every episode. People smart enough to watch Jeopardy aren't stupid enough to believe their crap. What a waste of money.

I’ve seen those commercials, mostly on CNN. They don’t run them during Jeopardy at home,
different advertisements for different markets I guess. Wouldn’t matter anyway, we mute the commercials.

I don’t get Jeopardy here at camp, I hope James keeps winning so I can watch him again next week. I’m also rooting for him to beat Ken Jennings record.

I hope it isn't true.

Me too.

Apparently the leak was accurate.

James lost last night. He was about $60,000.00 short of Ken Jennings all-time record.

Looked to me like he tossed the game he was way out of character the way he went about that game!

It may have been he was ready to leave as well.

I don’t know Jerry, Emma Boettcher, Last nights winner, played a heckuva game. She found the daily doubles early and bet it all at least once, a gutsy move. She was playing to win and I give her credit for playing a great game.

James’ low bet in final Jeopardy was designed to beat the third-place guy. Even betting at all, James would not have been able to catch Emma if she answered the question correctly.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see if she’s really that good or just got lucky.

Nope I think he just was ready to quit. He didn't play his regular game and didn't ring In on lots of questions.

Another two games and he could've been the highest earning contestant on Jeopardy. He was only $56,484.00 away from beating Jennings. Why would he quit?

Emma used James' tactics against him. She picked the high value clues first, found both daily doubles in the second round and went all in on at least on of them.

Her masters research was on how to analysis the clues on the show. I bet she also did a lot of work on other aspects as well, including how to utilize the buzzer etc. etc. She also knew the categories very well. Finding the daily doubles was also a major part of Jame's strategy and that day those did not fall in his favor.

He was behind and made a very small bet that meant she had to not get the final question. He wouldn’t have normally bet that dumb. He wanted to go home!

I agree.

You guys are crazy. No way he going to throw the game fcol. You think he didn't want all the money he could get and didn't want to beat the record? He may have gotten complacent or arrogant or whatever but he isn't going to pass up a few more million dollars if he could get it.

He did the opposite of ALL of his previous games and lost to me the best indicator was he was not even upset when he lost he looked relived. Lets see how long the new champ lasts and that will help sort it all out.

He has a few million to work with now maybe he felt limited on what he could make on the show and maybe he has bigger fish to fry?
