Haven't watched it at all this week because I've been working/out with friends, but I saw most of last week and the thing that's baffling about the teen tournament is I'm pretty sure the show's writers sorely underestimate the intelligence of these kids ... I hardly ever saw them miss a question or get one wrong. Made it kinda boring tbh ... but at least I sure felt smart knowing everything!

I haven't seen a single second of this one, I'm going off of prior experience.

Lol at none of today's contestants being able to identify Tom Holland in the Spider-Man clip, with two of them mistaking him for both Garfield and Maguire...

I hate it when I'm watching Jeopardy, having a grand time, and then Mormons knock on my door. I didn't pause the show because I just assumed that it was a knock because I had the TV on too loud and the windows open. Didn't expect to spend five minutes telling them that Revelation clearly says that there won't be any more, uh, revelations, and that anything to follow is thus not inspired by God.
Ugh, that was annoying.

Curious to see how long Jason can keep up his streak. He's already cracked the top ten highest winnings in regular season play. He's also been consistently adopting Holzhauer's strategy of going for the bottom clues early on to quickly accumulate money (though he wagers a bit more conservatively on the Daily Doubles). It'll be interesting to see how many other contestants will try and replicate Holzhauer's method in the future.

Jason dominates in the most chill way possible... and he really does kind of look like Nic Cage.
Very easy to root for.

One of the most stunningly easy Final Jeopardy clues of my lifetime tonight...
Outside of that... Jason continues to steamroll without even breaking a sweat. I blink and he's got $10k while the two opponents are in the red. And speaking of the opponents... what a bunch of duds he faced this week.

Yeah, the only other contestant that was even remotely competitive was that older lady with the British accent on Tuesday.

What a glorious comeback Jason had after sort of a rough first round. Looked like he actually had competition at first.
Now in fifth place for consecutive games won.

RIP Jason. If only he had found at least one of the Daily Doubles throughout the game, he might have gotten away with getting Final Jeopardy wrong. Still a good run... 4th place for consecutive wins (tied with Dave Madden) and over a half a million dollars in winnings is not too shabby.

Its amazing how smart Jason is, he usually got stumped on the Final.

Its amazing how smart Jason is, he usually got stumped on the Final. The fact that he wasn't infallible made his streak more exciting in a way than watching a machine like Holzhauer because you actually felt like he could potentially lose any game. He often dominated, but there were a couple really close games towards the end, and even before that the games weren't always runaways. The funny thing about Jason's loss is how the winner just barely accumulated enough money at the end of Double Jeopardy to catch Jason by going all in on Final... like it was literally the last clue that put him over the edge iirc.

Leadville is one of the most wtf Final Jeopardys I've ever witnessed.

Predictions for the Tournament of Champions? It seems like a foregone conclusion that James will win the whole thing, though I'm secretly hoping for a Francois victory. I'm thinking it'll be James, Emma, and Francois for the final matchup.

James is winning obviously. But I'm looking forward to watching Emma give him a run for his money.
