Watching Matt try to smile, as he has seen the hu-mans do so many times, is endlessly entertaining

Matt's growing on me now that he's mostly stopped talking over Alex. Hard to see how he loses anytime soon.

Also, don't they have some sort of system to prevent categories that are so very obviously geared towards someone's expertise? I mean an IT category with a guy who works as an IT consultant (including a clue that dealt with consultants directly) seems kind of lovely.

They've mentioned the process on the show before. Not in any real detail, but just enough to swear the show isn't rigged. I think it was after one of the kids tournaments. When the kid who was a big Abraham Lincoln fan won $60,000 on an Emancipation Proclamation final.

I remember there being a Canadian on the show once a day with a category about Canadian provinces, too. Which quite frankly is totally fair given how many America-based categories there are

Wait, didn't Matt wager $5000 on that Double Jeopardy!? They only took $5.

No, he said "five", paused for a second and then clarified dollars while Trebek was talking. Like that nerd would bet half his cash on a sports question.

OK. Yeah, he hadn't gotten the previous answers in that category, so I was surprised to hear him betting so close to his usual $6k.

I'm all aboard the Matt Jackson train. He's weird, but damnit, he's my kind of weird. Also, found this while looking for clips of him to show my friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baAT2gddTcM

I thought he bet 5k, and there's a lot of people on the Jeopardy FB page that think so too. Alex even said "you're down to 8k" or whatever too, but the number just went down $5.

I didn't catch the episode live but I've got it on DVR now and here is exactly what is said Matt. Five. [then something after this that i couldn't understand at first] Alex: And that means your lead has been reduced to $8,395, so select again. Matt posted on his facebook that he said 'five please Alex' and after knowing this and listening again that is absolutely what he is saying. It's amazing how many people are CERTAIN that Alex said his score was 8k.

In the end, it wouldn't have mattered much since he would have just wagered more and that softball FJ clue.

that sports question was easy even if you don't know that specific player. also what is with people that need to get close to the lead late in double jeopardy wimping out on daily doubles all the time. are you here to win or what.

Matt is cool and has more personality in his sociopathic smile than most contestants have in their entire bodies. I hope he continues to stomp people, only to intentionally lose in order to fit into this year's ToC so he can stomp all over them too.

This thread is going to explode in an outburst of irrational hate when ToC rolls around and it's Matt vs. Alex vs. that dancing lady that didn't win enough but should still come back anyway.

Someone posted on Jboard that he probably cuts off Alex because he's used to Quiz Bowl where you're encouraged to do that to keep the game moving. Also he's apparently the best Quiz Bowl player ever. http://jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3138

That article says that quiz bowl is typically played without an audience, so it's still valid to say it's annoying to watch
