Jeopardy GOAT (Spoilers)

[Dan]

Man those guys were good. Figured it would be a Ken vs James show, really all game down to the daily doubles of course. Brad failed miserably at those.

Excited for tonight

Great thread. I'm so digging this tourney!

My thoughts on last night
-Loved the triple categories (before during after, and triple rhyme) - crazy skills on display, crowd ate them up (although I knew one, blame canada goose gossage was one of the few I knew from the whole night!), hope they do more of them
-Awesome to see Ken adapt Jame's aggression, as seen on the daily double in the first game
-And to see Ken bet the perfect amount after the 2nd final, and James face when he realized at that moment he would finish 200 short was gold
-Although I thought Ken was a bit timid in the the first game's final jeopardy, not going all in. Game 1 final jeopardy is essentially a daily double!
-Brad embarassed himself on those daily doubles and may have been in his own head for the last one... I hope he regroups for the next night (which was probably taped only minutes later)
-James mocking Brad on the Philly question was amazing

I want to see this thing go 7 days

+1K on everything here!!!

Also, I wish this required more than 3 wins, I could watch it forever

Just watched this, never really watched Jeopardy but this is amazing.

This was hilarious:

James rocked tonight!

But I can't believe nobody knew this. Shocked!

My sister provided questions for one of the categories in double jeopardy, but they didn’t tell her it would air during GOAT until well after they taped the show lol.

does anyone else feel they should have a mercy rule for Brad?

That's very cool, which Q? I always wondered how they source the questions/answers - do you have insight into that? How did she get hooked up.

I think everyone is gonna be rooting hard for him tonight.

Audible. She works there.

TBH on the first night he was right in it especially with getting most of the daily doubles in both games. His issue was that he bet everything and got those both wrong so he got reset to zero. I think if those 2 answers would have been correct he would have been right in the mix of things.

That is why we need a mercy rule. He seems to be in over his head.

Yup.
His correct answer percentage isn't close to James and Ken. Amazing that he's made the most money.

Is the issue his recall, buzzer speed, or strategy? Or all?

[Mordyk]

never watched jeopardy before. absolutely loving it. I'm shocked there are humans with so much random info stored in their brains

Just don't ask them to change a tire.

That's what stupid people tell themselves so they can sleep at night

Like the people that say Einstein wasn't good at math or failed math in school, total fake news.

I guess you never been around these smart people with masters and doctorate degrees.

[mercaz1]

If I had to guess it would be his recall because he seems to get to the buzzer first a nice percentage of time and then just has the wrong answer but when someone else gets the wrong answer first then he gets it right- the wrong answer might have jogged his memory
he even mentioned it when he was talking to Alex that his recall is not as good as when he was younger when he won all that money

Just not the goyish ones

i have been around 90,000 scholars that studied 2711 pages of the talmud    does that count?
