It would seem Dailymotion's entire raison d'etre is to allow the streaming of copyrighted poo poo. I have no idea how they haven't been ruined by a lawsuit or something, unless it's Russian or something.

EDIT: Lol, it's actually banned in Russia for copyright issues, yet available here. We're through the looking glass!

Spoilers for today's episode winner:

So with the knowledge that my episode is next Friday and that they tape five a day, I can confirm that I walked into the green room and recognized the current champ because he was in the episode i had just watched on my TV at home the day prior. It's a weird combination of season break and a long streak, but man is it intimidating. Does he lose in the next 4 games so I don't have to play him? I can't say, but I sure did hope so watching from the audience! See everybody out there in TV land in a week!

Jason doesn't have anything near the same betting style as James did, if anything he's much more conservative but he does have ridiculous control of the buzzer game.

Also LOL my husband and I both blanked on it and also immediately went for La Marseillaise, and I should have ESPECIALLY known better because I am not only Canadian but also French, and I am well aware that La Marseillaise is a revolutionary-era song so that's going down in the annals of "final Jeopardy flubs I'm going to try to forget ASAP"

Hell yeah man. You did great.




Jason is just a monster on the buzzer. You can see him just slightly beating you two (and the others) on a ton of the questions. My friend played (and obviously lost) during Julia’s run, and it was similar. Everyone knew most of the answers, but Julia was just crazy good.

You should be drat proud. FYI my wife says the cool people come in 3rd in Jeopardy (she came in 3rd as well) , and that you did great.

My only slight disappointment was that you got beat on Detective Pikachu. That is a goon question right there.

I also picked Jefferson. I very briefly wondered if Burr was somehow on money. I had no idea about the Andrew Jackson stuff.

I also went with Jefferson and didn’t make the Jackson connection until Alex mentioned picking the wrong one to Spokes. Oh well.

Also Jason making it to the 3rd most regular game winning list under Ken and James with a lot less fanfare than other big name winners. Maybe because he isn’t as splashy or something (or post James, people need to make huge bets and win large amounts of money per game in order to make the news), or is overshadowed by the Trebek news. His streak being interrupted by the summer season break probably tamped down on the coverage as well.

Thanks for the support everybody, what a fun experience. Feel like I could have been in it if things had broken slightly differently, but the champ's obviously very deserving and i hope he keeps killing it. Can't wait to watch the ToC

You obviously should have had him knee capped. You were a Friday game, you had 4 games ahead of time to call it in and have someone knock him out for you.

I cannot speak myself as a contestant, but as an audience member he was great to watch. He is way less cringe worthy in person, he is pretty personable with the audience and funny. He was at his best when talking to the general audience.
