Here we go, exhibit 1 from show 1 game 1:
Now exhibit 2 from show 4 game 1:
Darn is right Brad Van Doren.
in before Clovis comes in and yells at you for being a conspiracy theorist.
I would have not gotten Lavoisier and would have easily gotten Maxwell. Agree itâs shady af.
So it was 9 for Brad 7 for Ken 4 for James. Ken didnât prove enough imo.
Also how does Jeopardy deal with horrific mispronunciations of French answers? If someone answers La Voy Seer do they still get it right? Iâd do that for all French words just for the lulz.
Trebek delights in correctly and beautifully pronouncing French names after contestants butcher them, as long as they know what youâre going for youâre fine.
One answer in a category about vowel words or something was just the word âeau,â the poor guy buzzed in and said âwhat isâŚooohâŚeee-yoâŚum, e-a-u.â Alex was just like âthatâs fine.â

lol checks out
Alex only seems to do that for French answers
Also, didnât realize that with this win, Ken juuuuuust took over the all-time spot in total game show winnings (not just Jeopardy) over Brad by a bit under $100k. Happy for him.
James still GOAT, donât care what anyone says.

Tonightâs is particularly painful. One lady was freaking out with nerves, ended with -$5k+

Holy fuck
She came THIS close to breaking the record for worst score.
Yea at one point she was at -6600 iirc
I happened to read an interview the other day with the person who has the all-time record. IIRC, it was -6800.
Felt bad - that lady was clearly a nervous wreck.

Ken is such a class act. Tweet credited James for transforming the game with his betting strategy and forcing all others to adopt it. Reminded us of what a great player Brad was, beating Ken repeatedly in past years. This after James coldly taunted Brad between games. And Ken says to vote for Bernie or Warren.

It feels like if they ran it five times James probably wins three. But Ken is just the better human and rooting for James is like rooting for Mat Sklansky in a Connect Four best-of-seven

Or Mason?

More like David. Mason is strictly worse than most humans one will encounter

Iâve never felt worse for any contestant than I did for Priscilla. Thatâs my worst fear if I make it on, that the nerves take over and I embarrass myself on international TV.
Other guy was so bad on the Daily Doubles (found all 3, missed on each) that we almost had that rarest of Jeopardy occurrences â the solo Final Jeopardy!
