The current champion reminds me of Eclipse: James Holhauser first, the rest nowhere.

Re: Anybody been watching Jeopardy!?
That is one calm and confident guy, Dawn.
He cut it close the other day, winning by only 18 dollars.
I like his strategy. He goes for the bigger questions first, constantly. He gets a 2-3 thousand dollar lead, and he intimidates the rest.
You know, it's obvious what he's doing. He's buzzing in first, because he is sure he knows, and if he doesn't, oh well, he's still got the big lead.
He would be what people in horse racing call a legit front-end speed horse. He plays Catch Me If You Can.
He'll fall eventually. They all do.
But it's been fun watching him do this.

I always pay attention when Eric Hamme talks about horses running in Maryland.

I’m from Vegas. I believe the whole town is watching him every night. There’s stories about him on the local news nightly.

I think he was on Good Morning America this morning. I'm pretty sure the show's ratings are up considerably. Although I am starting to feel sorry for the cannon fod--er, players that have to face him. That's like trying to win a guitar playing contest against Eric Claption.

Very true, Dawn. He's so ... calm. Then I just heard he was a professional gambler in Las Vegas?Dawn Palka wrote: ↑5 years ago I think he was on Good Morning America this morning.

I thought, no wonder he's so calm.
