LOL, I thought the same thing. But I wasn't sure anyone else even remembered Kim Darby.

Why the heck did that woman make that stupid wager in Final?  Drives me crazy.

Alex even said that her only chance was to be a wild card. So she bets a minimal amount?

Had a chance to see that tonight. Didn't get dusty, but that was certainly a nice gesture on the part of the contestant during what must be a rough time for Mr. Trebek. 

[El Floppo 21,877]

Fun to see James again.

And the woman... file her under the oddly attractive thread- something about her really turned my crank 

[Leroy Hoard 9,575]

I'm proud to say I gave 2 of the same wrong answers that James did.

[Jayrok 2,827]

Thurs-Friday should be good.  

 

[Mr. Mojo 763]

If (when) Francois wins tonight, Kim Darby will be back in the rattlesnake pit, going against James and Francois in the Final.

In fact, @by_the_sea_wannabe, I’ve been called pompous and a know it all more times than I can recount on this board. It will give a lot of people great pleasure, including me, when you kick the hell out of Stage IV pancreatic cancer and throw it in my face for decades. Hell, I have famously refused to meet anyone on this board, give anyone my real name, or gamble.

You beat this thing and five years from now while you’re still cancer free I’m taking you to a Steelers game on my dime for you to laugh in my face. 

In print, on the board, cstu-style except I actually pay up. 

2024. You, me, and whatever horrifying concoction passes for food at your stadium. 

Deal?

Go kick the crap out of it. 

And, again, what I said about Trebek was stupid. I do that sometimes. 

Early lead for btsw.

I am cancer free in the pancreas and it's almost gone from the liver. : boxing:

not going off chemo like trebek did.

James proving again that he is all time Jeopardy champ. He also seems much better on the buzzer than the other 2.

Emma is proving that several correct answers without any incorrect guesses works well, too.

I love James, but he lost to Emma in regular play and he lost to her on day 2 of the ToC. You could look at it as he lost to her 2 of 3 games they’ve played. Brad Rutter has never lost to a human. He is the all-time Jeopardy champ until James dethrones him.

Still a random draw.

[PinkydaPimp 1,358]

James the god!  Dude is such a beast.  We need a showdown between him and ken Jennings.  

[Jayrok 2,827]

James was rattled after botching the double jeopardy question.  Emma took advantage and went on a roll.  He finally gathered himself and finished fairly strong.  

Emma's all-in on her DJ question sealed the win for that one game.  Going all-in was her only chance to try and catch up as she was woefully behind in the tournament.  Not sure she would have made that move back when they were playing in the regular game.  But she played great yesterday. 

James is the best since Brad and Ken.  Would love to see a 2 day tourney with just those three.

Agreed on all points.

I also noticed that James' $9,8XX bet on the last Daily Double he missed allowed Emma to have a chance to win at the end. He should have bet minimal there and not used one of his silly bets.

I agree that the categories are random.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the one area I think is not a random draw is when they lineup the Semifinal rounds.

They always seem split up the 3 highest scorers and then have no repeats of opponents from the fist round.

That sounds right, based on previous years.

Hmm, at those odds I think I’d need to take the player who has never lost to a human. Such disrespect for Brad. He’s owned Ken like four times.

There's a long time member here who was on Jeopardy. If you've been here long enough, he's probably been snarky with you at some point.
