Alex Trebek had a classic response to James
Holzhauer's 'two dimes' wager on Jeopardy.

The tease for todays show has a challenger with twice as much as James, should be a good one.

When (not 'if') he loses, it will be to a challenger who plays like he does, and happens to have categories that s/he is more knowledgeable about, and James goes 'all in' on a Daily Double and answers incorrectly wiping out his stash. I just haven't noticed a category that James isn't extremely knowledgeable about and has near instant recall of.

I'll be watching. . . .

Challenger had lead going into double jeopardy, then hit the daily double, which he answered correctly.

Good contest today!

Yes, very good.

I enjoyed that one. James came through like a pro. (And how the heck does he know some of this stuff?)

I wonder if the people who select the contestants are screening for players who follow James' strategy. Still, his breadth of knowledge is astounding. Can you tell I'm a fan?

James ran into a challenger who started by asking for the big value clues, and picked off both of the Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy- which he answered incorrectly. James looked a bit peeved and saw to it that that challenger wasn't present at Final Jeopardy.

 

[OldGuy]

He's getting a little cocky.

I was rooting for the challenger, Nate, in this game, and actually thought he could beat Holzhauer. But from my 'armchair' perspective, I thought the challenger wagered too conservatively on Final Jeopardy. He was ahead of Holzhauer by about $4-5K. The 3rd contestant had $1200, so most she could have ended up with was $2400. If Nate had wagered more so that the least he ended with was $2401, he would have been in either 2nd or 1st place regardless of how Holzhauer answered. Oh well, at least it made it into a more interesting Final Jeopardy ending.

My husband thought that if Holzhauer keeps winning big, maybe the producers or network would cancel the show after this season, with Trebek's illness as the stated reason. Are they getting more in commercial revenues to keep paying out the amounts Holzhauer is winning on each show?

Last week I heard Holzhauer put in a desired wish for a data stats type job on a professional sports team. So maybe he's getting a little tired of playing and having to keep up on so many possible areas of trivia. But not so tired of it that he's going to pass up the opportunity to earn $50K and up each game.

Nate was not ahead for final jeopardy, he was about six thousand behind by then.
You really think they would cancel a popular show over paying out sixty thousand each episode. They probably get $25000 per thirty second commercial, in each market. I think Alex Tribec gets ten million a year.

Hmm, don't know why I thought Nate was ahead; anyway it wasn't a runaway for Holzhauer. I still think Nate should have bet more than the $10K or so that he did, hindsight 20/20.

I wonder what the Las Vegas odds are for Holzhauer to keep on winning for 'x' number more games ?
