Jeopardy

Jinxed!

I think James got a favorable bet on the under this weekend on his total and took a dive.

Have to figure 90%+ of those who say he could/should have given more haven't given a dime themselves.

GOAT tournament begins tonight.
Go James.

[jhawks99]

Go Ken. I miss that crazy bartender dood.

[NewtonHawk11]

I like the way James plays. Should be fun to watch.

Great idea by Jeopardy to do this before Trebek can't do it anymore.

Ken is really, really good.

[pdub]

I hope James ties it up tonight to make it interesting.

[jhawks99]

That other dude needs to win one. Is it on tonight? I think we have to wait until next week.

[NewtonHawk11]

Ken is really, really good.

This also means so much more to him than anyone else. He's been practicing with some real live Jeopardy buzzers and screens and all that.

James there for the hell of it and having fun, and Brad is just living life knowing he's the 3rd best Jeopardy player ever, but still not even close to Ken or James.

Never in my life did I believe I would have a discussion about Jeopardy on a message board. What a time to be alive.

At one point and time I mentioned to my wife I feel bad for this Brad dude as James and Ken was molly whooping him. He did come back in that game though.

Game over.

Ouch

Disappointed in James and he had a little bad luck in these matches ( wasn't lucky finding the Double Jeopardy pieces -- Brad fucking was and ruined them ) but Ken was the better player.

I didn't like how James didn't go all in the first game in Final. Why change your strategy now?
He would have been 10k behind ( and then well ahead in the second game ) instead of 30ish.

In the end -- James could have tied it up with the correct final answer -- but didn't get it right and Ken did.

Also, sad moment when Alex was talking about how it would be the last time he would see them competing on Jeopardy.

[NewtonHawk11]

Yeah. I liked the whole idea, but also sad because this is almost like a send off for Alex.

They wouldn't do this unless Alex was close to the end.

[jhawks99]

I felt kind of bad for Brad.

Agree on the Alex send off. I think this was for him.

I saw that, and it was wonderful. I'm sure a bunch of misty-eyed people at their desks this morning.
