    Is James Holzhauer ruining 'Jeopardy!' for everyone?

    Former "Jeopardy!" champion Tom Nichols says James Holzhauer's mastery of controlling the buzzer is making the game unfair for his competitors and unenjoyable to for viewers to watch.

    Mark my word: he will pass Jennings total money won, but not his 74 games in a row record. This is all a publicity stunt.

    The girl who ended in the negative was very attractive to me. The girl in the middle acted so serious.

    Typical CNN, we all know they're liberal but jesus christ, only CNN could be THAT left to argue "it isn't fair a guy is winning all these shows on a gameshow, winnings equality!" What a joke.

    If he gets beaten on May 31st, I will start a war against Spider. His post "when will James be beat" for 100 betpoints or whatever, I posted 5/31 and he said I was disqualified.

    Dude a bad ass, he just straight up waxing everyone. By time of final jeopardy dude is leading by 30k or more! Love how aggressive he is. Those other pansies risk dick when they get the double jeopardy question while he going all in!!!

    Guy is truly amazing. Few weeks back, some guy pushed him to brink. THAT guy would have been 10x winner, if he had been up vs a mere mortal.

    Jeopardy ratings have jumped well over 2 million viewers, nation wide.

    Good for Jeopardy
    Also good for local t.v. affiliates

    These type of shows want people to win. Prize money is nothing to them compared to what the ratings bring in.

    Guy set record for most 2nd-place $$ ever. Very bright guy, and he risked like $12k w/ $13k bank on Daily Double. Versus normal field, he wins 10+ games.

    summer break is coming so if he survives until then it will be even worse. Just more studying.


    and yeah, that canadian girl was impressive. Her and james should have a baby to help out mankind.

    I’m pretty much stuck watching it anytime I’m home at that time cause the old lady loves it and makes me play w her., she has her own unique scoring method where she gets credit for right answers but the wrong ones don’t count against her!! She thinks she does really well!! Lmfao

    crazy, you'd think if you were going up against james you'd know by now you have to play like him to beat him.


    Guy in second had two chances to beat james. First the daily double and he only bet half of his 13ish K and then final jeopardy and only risks 10k full well knowing james is going to bet big. No reason to play for second.
