Game shows have been crooked since day 1.

I can rattle off at least a dozen ‘fixes’ off the top of my head right now.
With a little research you’d be startled to find out how many controversies are out there.

how can it not be leaked out u see how many people are in the audience

Rutter is overmatched. How did he ever beat Jennings head to head?

looks way overmatched. maybe he was better when he was heavier. trebek made that joke how he has shrunk more and more thru the years too.

[cecil127]

phuck them. they've won plenty already and enough of that creepy ass underbite 'smile'!

[asiagambler]

Rutter got 4 daily doubles on the 1st day and got 3 of them wrong. Didn't watch last night but saw he actually finished in the negative in the 2nd game lol

[hehfest]

Being an expert on body language, the James Holzhauer "smile" and "grins" are a clear sign of "I'm cheating on this game, I like it, and you can't or won't catch me. It's possible Jeopardy itself, has fixed outcomes and does give out the answers before-hand, and therefore he is smiling because he knows its all fake and rigged and he finds it hilarious as he rakes in the coin as a "Jeopardy" actor. Jennings and Rutter might be kept out of the loop and are true contestants.

They play 2 games per day

That's 2 as in 1 more than 1

I'll leave it to you to figure out how many total daily doubles there are in 2 games

You've already done the legwork knowing there are 3 daily doubles per game. It's now just a matter of multiplying by....... 2

Let me know if you need any help. I'm always here to help

He smiles like that because he's autistic. Also, first episode I've watched, but I was way off on this. Rutter answering "Black Plague" to a Daily Double clue earlier was an atrocious guess -- he would have been better off not answering. Jennings has impressed me with some of his answers. You can tell he is the only one buzzing in on some of these.

[gummo]

I thought Holzhauer would win due to recency but it's obvious Jennings is the smartest and he's adapted the all-in technique to his game which makes him the easy winner.

[chargers4222]

These were also the two easiest Final Jeopardy questions I have ever seen, with near-impossible boards in the regular rounds. Not sure how Jennings missed that last one. The other two jerked off because they knew (or thought) it'd be a layup for him. Very weird show.

Are you serious? He doesn't seem autistic at all. Hmmm

[chargers4222]

I hope he is. If he's not autistic then I'd be more wiling to pick on his social ineptitude and inherent creepiness. Something about him really makes me uncomfortable.

[cincinnatikid513]

brad rutter has been terrible might as well be a james jennings heads up match

[cincinnatikid513]

gotta wait all the way til next tuesday for match 4

[hehfest]

I'll second that. If you look at both eyes. One eye is bigger than the other. Not symmetrical. Maybe he is a robot playing jeopardy. LOL. Something strange about the dude though for sure.

i think james is genuinely happy to be there and if he wins, he wins. i think jennings is pressuring himself to win big time.

For events like this, a lot of those audience members are usually staff/corporate execs and family members of the players to try and limit the leaking and not so much the general public.

I actually had Brad as likely to win pre-tournament because tournaments are his bread and butter and that's how he made most of his winnings, but it looks like recall speed has gotten to him. Ken looks like a man on a mission as he has yet to win a Jeopardy tournament he's been invited to and looks like he wants to shake that monkey off his back.

[cincinnatikid513]

game 4 back on tonight 2-1 jennings so far does ken close it out hmm i think james going to tie it up 2-2 as brad rutter has been complete no show so far

[thetrinity]

Why didn’t James go AI there.

Jennings grew some balls this tournament

[thetrinity]

How is brad the leading money winner of all time? He’s like 0fer on daily doubles and dead last every time. Must have done a lot of drugs the last 10 years

[cincinnatikid513]

ken jennings is your winner

[CWD]

holzauer took another dive

[cincinnatikid513]

holzauer took another dive

maybe,

can't believe how bad brad rutter was, so pathetic it was like he wasn't even there

[CWD]

rutter wow he was beyond awful and he did it wire to wire 4 days straight

jennings said he is done no rematch

[cincinnatikid513]

rutter wow he was beyond awful and he did it wire to wire 4 days straight

rutter was there for the guaranteed paycheck 250k

[CWD]

[habitualwinning]

I read through this thread and to reply to the conspiracy theories of this match or this show in general being fixed just think about this. Pretty much all you'd have to do to fix a show is tell the person you want to win where the daily double clues are on the board, the answer to them and the answer to final jeopardy. If a good contestant simply knew that info, they're almost guaranteed to win cause they could go all in 4 times with 100% confidence in the answer and the other ccontestants would miss the daily double opportunities.
