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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayrok 2,827 Posted November 16 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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
