One thing Aten did do was to bet smart on the Final question, unlike many of the morons who can't seem to figure out the proper betting strategy.Props to Tim Aten, though, who won more games despite missing the Final Jeopardy question than should be allowed. Lucky SOB rode the wave of sub-par opponents (and conservative wagering) to a six figure haul.

I am always amazed that a person who is smart enough to get on the show, can't figure out how to bet on the Final Question, but I think we've covered this previously.
what was it?I saw the internet stuff about how the girl had fulfilled a lifelong dream of being on jeopardy but did not survive long enough to see the episode air. I had no idea she won! Good for her. I was ticked, however, when my wife got the Final Jeopardy answer correct and I didn't. This rarely happens!
Category- City Nameswhat was it?
I guessed MiamiCategory- City Names
Answer- Cuba's second-most populous city & a South American capital share this name that refers to St. James
Question- What is Santiago (Cindy got it right).
The others guessed "Asuncion"

She aced the really tough Final question last night.5 in a row.....
He hasnt addressed it at all. I do hope he does but maybe she didnt want it mentioned.Do you think, if she qualifies, Alex will make the usual comment when she loses of "We'll see you in our Tournament of Champions", or do you think they knew she wouldn't make it until then?
They might be able to cut it out if he does make the comment.He hasnt addressed it at all.

Yeah, they did a nice job with that. Simple and to the point.well played Jeopardy!
what did they do? i didn't see anything during the game. was it something during end-credits?well played Jeopardy!
After the end-of-game commercial, instead of the usual "contestants standing around talking to Alex" scene, they came back to Alex explaining that being on Jeopardy fulfilled her life-long desire, that she was Stage 4 during the taping and that she died on Dec. 5. Then cut to an "in Memoriam" pic of her for a few seconds. My wife's reaction was "Boy, that makes you want to cry."what did they do? i didn't see anything during the game. was it something during end-credits?
Tim is a pretty cool guy I've gathered from the couple times I chatted with him. Works for Wizards of the Coast, helping to produce M:TG.Props to Tim Aten, though, who won more games despite missing the Final Jeopardy question than should be allowed.

Too bad she's so poor at wagering. Still, one more win after the break might be enough to get her into the Tournament of Champions (two definitely would).
