yeah I mean, winning by 18 doesn't mean much beyond he had to win in FJ.
Many many Jeopardy wins are by 1 dollar, as you know exactly what you need to bet to win the game.
Shows he is mortal tho. But what's that, a non-runaway for the 2nd time in 17 games?
So in a 100 game period at this rate, he may only have about 12 chances to lose in Final Jeopardy. He's 16 out of 17 on Final Jeopardy.
So 6% miss rate on Final Jeopardy.
Again assuming those statistics hold (the sample size is too small still) - he'd have like a 48% chance of winning 100 games.

I think he meant that he cause another participant to get that record. I don't know though because I didn't watch.
Anybody else been timing their cardio time at the gym to watch this past few weeks? The entire of ellipticals this last few days has been tuned to Jeopardy. One dude on Friday got so pissed that it was rescheduled to Saturday for the NFL draft (I was too, but player it cool).
No. He just won by $18.
No. He just won by $18.
In double jeopardy about state parks it totally didn't sound like he said "what is" before he said California.
This frequently happens because of how it is edited down.
Well now that you've realized it's what your reply put you in I'll skip the letmegooglethatforyou AND avoid pointing out I knew what it was thirty years ago on a frozen island just off Norway.
I feel bad for the guy who took second today. He was quick on the buzzer, smart and made great bets. If he were up against anyone else, I could see him holding his own for maybe a week. That final jeopardy was tough too.
Could he beat Rutter? Rutter has never lost a Jeopardy game unless you count his loss to Watson. He's also won over 4 million.
He's bringing them tons of attention as keeps winning and he'll bring in more when he finally loses.
as someone currently in the Jeopardy! contestant pool after getting to the in-person audition, it's both a relief but also a bummer that I would be unable to face him due to sharing a first name, and thus they couldn't even consider calling me in until he loses.
So it's mostly just a scheduled list of contestants based on their qualifying date? I get the same name disqualification, but does production pick and chose contestants to face this guy? If they wanted to have a lengthy win streak for publicity purposes, they could let him face weaker opponents.
if you make it that far - you aren't weak. and s&p wouldn't let them take players who weren't qualified just to keep him on the show (nor would Jeopardy want that anyway).
has nothing to do with qualifying date either - once you get an in-person audition, you're in the pool for 18 months.
they select on a wide assortment of things, including gender, race, age, location, video of you playing the game, interview, and even something as silly as first name. There's a higher percentage of Los Angeles/SoCal Area players as they serve as back-ups each taping day in case someone gets sick, misses a flight etc. If you do a whole day as a back-up, you then are placed in the next set of tapings as a confirmed contestant.
Second all time winning streak.
Also, LOL.

*physically cringes*
Just give James the prize for winning Tournament of Champions so that no one else has to waste their time.
Chatter in the gameshow fandom areas I frequent has turned up that after his Chase appearance, he was interviewed about possibly becoming a future Chaser, but the show was canned before anything moved on that front.
I know, right? Almost 80K on just ONE daily double (the first DD didn't even count, IMO). And he only bet 10,000 dollars to get it
