Yes, that type does still exist but I don't think it's what the producers want anymore. I don't trust all the long winning streaks, and I see behaviors that would never have been accepted in Alex's time. For example, how Mattea adds words into her answers, instead of strictly saying "what is ______?" My husband and I also don't like when someone is on a streak for too long and takes opportunities away from so many other contestants. There had NEVER been as many streaks as there has been in the past year. It gets boring after a while to us, regardless of who the reigning champ is. I think some type of limit should be reinstated, whether it's 5 games or 10 games, whatever the producers would think is fair, as long as there is some type of cap.
It also seems they're trying to turn Jeopardy! into a cool type of show. It seems to be getting more and more about the contestants and their personalities/private lives rather than the show itself which has always been a cut above all other "game" shows. IMO the integrity of the show is going downhill very quickly. But, of course, this is all MHO.

And whoever is doing their FB page censors people! I was on there about an hour ago looking at the comments and I "liked" a couple of comments that were unfavorable to the guy who won the TOC last night (aka "Amy"). All of a sudden I couldn't post anymore reactions and now it seems I can't comment on the page either, which I usually don't do but if I wanted to, I can't! We live in Clown World 😡
The same types that are ruining the show are running and ruining the FB page. I still watch Jeopardy!, it remains our favorite show, but I don't know for how long.
