I felt really bad for the second place guy. He knew exactly what he had to do at the end of Double Jeopardy and he was so close to getting within range and then he knew the Final Jeopardy question and Rutter didn't and I could just feel his pain.

The decades don't quite line up. I think it is 84-93, 94-03, 04-13, but someone will probably correct me. It is basically ten years after the show started, in 10 year gaps.

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

Just got to LA, checked into my hotel room. Can't wait until I meet Alex tomorrow and hopefully get on camera, on my way to establishing a win streak lasting at least 5 episodes.

Checking over my emails from Jeopardy before I left a couple days ag,, I noticed that they actually gave me a tentative air date which I had somehow looked over. I'm slated to air sometime in the next to last week of June to July 4th...

Yeah, that's gonna be a really long wait... I'll keep you guys updated on here when I have more information. Wish me luck!

If your episode might air July 4th you probably want to bone up on American history questions

And a little later he argued with Alex about a pronunciation, and the question was even ruled in his favor!

I don't think I've ever seen a contestant argue with Alex like that before.

He always argued like that every time I had a conversation with him, I guess it just took this long for him to argue with Trebek because of what a smooth operator Trebek is.

The Chu Chu train finally crashed.

His technique didn't bother me. His smugness did. From a Jeopardy! perspective, he was certainly one of the more notable contestants and I'm sure this isn't the last we'll hear from him.

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with the way he played the game. It's simply that he became more smug and insufferable as time went on. He got a figurative big head to match his literal one, arguing with Trebek, wasting time, etc.

You'd have a different take if you followed him on Twitter! He's a funny fellow.

Also, RIP Arthur :(
