this was tense!


For a while there I didn't know if James would win!

But then he did, and all is right with the world again. 😄

You are ahead of me. Tonight it's on in an hour forty-five from now. That guy has ice in his veins.
Don't tell me if he hit $2 Million. I won't even read it.

Sure, I won't.

Sorry for the spoiler.

Haha. I'm one of those rare types who doesn't whine about "spoilers." I like Jeopardy but had gotten out of the habit of watching (hockey season) and mostly missed this Holhauzer phenomenon. Finally I started watching the last couple eps, and when Alex said he was approaching $2M I was impressed. From what I recall, Jeopardy isn't a big payout machine (which is a subject unto itself), so I realized this guy has been on for I don't know how many days. I think the Jennings affair broke new ground so I heard a lot about it. I thought maybe JH had finally been unthroned but he's still there.

So mostly I was just replying to your comment, and not complaining about a spoiler.

It's been 26 games.

I really hope he beats Jennings' record.


reply

Yeah, it was intense. Nate was the best challenger to James thus far since Adam from a few weeks ago.

I really hope he beats the record. I have never cared much for Ken Jennings. Unfortunately, due to the way the show is filmed nowadays, it's a lot harder for a returning champion to stay on top of his or her game for extended games.

reply

I hope so too. If he wins like 100 games, no one will ever come close. What a legacy that would be!

I never saw Jennings on the show though, somewhat before my time - but I am rooting for James.

West coaster here. I’m now watching and couldn’t wait to find out who won.

reply

Yeah, that was an uncomfortable feeling!

When did I get so invested, lol, I was never even a regular viewer of Jeopardy.

But I want to witness some more of this awesomeness.
