Did you notice how he quickly buzzed in when he knew the basketball question? He wasn't going to ruin his rhythm. Plus by finding and nullifying the Daily Double, he eliminated the opportunity for his opponents to have a big pay day. The guy is the biggest dork in the world, but he knows how to play the game.

It was super cool of him to do. edit: Category-hopping is also obnoxious, because it throws off your opponent. If you can do it without throwing yourself off though, it's a good idea.

Ha, I know Arthur! Only found out he was on Jeopardy from his Fb updates, since I don't have TV these days outside of the internet. Check out some of his stand-up comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFzHx_j2V00 Actually I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Goon, though I haven't seen him in a few years. He was always right on the border of ha-ha funny and the other kind of funny. Also, knew (and obviously still knows) a ton of random poo poo. He won our college's Worst Dressed award one year, I believe, thanks to his almost-unchanging wardrobe of white t-shirt + short + sandals, sometimes with a Hawaiian shirt thrown in for fancy occasions.

I dont mind category jumping but it does irk me when they start a category from the middle or end. I like hearing the "easy" answers first to decipher any hints the category may provide Half the fun of watching Jeopardy is playing along at home and weird category usage can make that difficult.

Arthur used some strange but smart strategies. He hunts for the Daily Double in the sports category that he hates, not to win big, but just to prevent one of the competitors from winning bid on it. I've never seen that strategy before. Also, on Thursday, he lets a player that he knows he can beat tie his final score so he can beat her again the next day.

Also, she got destroyed and ended with $0. Arthur won again with $18,000. It was a selfless, cool thing to do. It's literally the only redeeming thing he has done so far.

Chalk up a victory for the Jeopardy antichrist. Mr. Forrest Bounce himself advances in the tournament. At least I have Ken Jennings, Bob Harris, Colby Burnett, and Larissa Kelly  to look forward to.

My mother (a big Jeopardy fan who raised me on the game) loved Chuck when he was first on, so she was excited for this episode and the return of the Forrest Bounce and Alex saying "Chuck?" a lot. Personally I'm excited for the return this week of Former Port Authority Police Lt. Frank Spangenberg.
