Ken had a slightly higher coryat in the first two matches iirc though so he’s also just outplaying him a bit

Yeah I don't want to take away from Ken, he's my man, but Brad stymieing James' Daily Double strategy is hilarious.

James not being able to answer garnet as FSUs colors was a tell that he's throwing it. Considering he's a known gambler.

gently caress it, I'm not cheering for him, but James actually seems like a pretty likable guy overall. Ken's still better though.

I think it's also harder for James to reliably get daily doubles because he has a lot less board control than he'd normally have, so it's harder for him to even out the randomness. From here Ken's the favourite, but I think James taking two back to back games is pretty likely given the back and forth. I think Brad's out of it unless he's a demon sent to personally stop Ken Jennings from winning Jeopardy in which case he'll suddenly wake up and win 3.

Brad doesn't even seem to be trying. I can't believe his buzzer timing is THAT much worse than Ken and James'. Ken vs James feels very close to even. Timeless Appeal posted:Pound for pound, I think Ken just knows more of the answers than James, but James is much quicker on the buzzer when he's confident. This seems right.

I feel like Brad's having his own Rocky 3 moment and hopefully he'll have some time in the future to redeem himself. Go Eagles!

Interestingly enough, in the last match the gap between Brad and James was smaller than the gap between James and Ken for coryat scores

I didn't realize it was on Hulu, but it is!! I had only watched a couple minutes before, but I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the whole thing. Some of it is tough but some of it is stupidly, stupidly easy. Here's a picture of a sloppy joe, what is it? Here's a picture of Dolly Parton, who is it? Why do we think Brad is sucking? Maybe stress?? I'm getting more right than he is but obv without buzzing, whereas he of course absolutely kicks my rear end at LL.

I think he hasn't adjusted as well as Ken to James's strategy, but I also think he's just slipped a lot from his "prime" even in a non buzzer way, he's missing DDs that don't seem harder than what he could answer in the past. Maybe he hasn't stayed as ready, or simply doesn't have the fire under his rear end the way Ken does.

This is random, but: I've attended the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament since 2018 and I'm in the Facebook group. A guy posted yesterday saying he'd just registered for his first ACPT and asking if there was a process to meet people to share hotel rooms. I didn't notice anything until I saw the post again this morning, saw the guy's name, and thought, "Huh, Matt Jackson... wasn't that that guy...?" And yeah, it is indeed that guy. (I guess either he already spent all his winnings, really wants to make them last, or just wants to make a new friend. A room at the tourney hotel is $300 for the weekend.) There are a ton of Jeopardy veterans at ACPT, not sure how many are as notable as Matt. Of course Erik Agard won the tournament in 2018 BEFORE he did Jeopardy (and Agard recently became crossword editor at USA Today, which is awesome). Sorry if this is old news, I'm like a month behind in Jeopardy (loving the GOAT though) so I haven't been reading this thread.

A lot of jeopardy vets do trivia is competition because they are usually both good at it and like it (goes hand in hand). There’s an online trivia game a lot of them have been playing (at least as of September, my wife stopped playing around then). I would think most jeopardy winners are smart enough not to blow through their money, but it’s probably a do trivia to do trivia thing.

If it wasn't clear, my half-joke about his winnings ws because he's seeking to split a room with a stranger, not about him doing ACPT at all. I actually started doing crosswords because I noticed the overlap with Jeopardy players and I thought it might help me with getting on the show. It has not, but occasionally there's a pub trivia answer that I only know because of crosswords (the show wasn't kidding with that clue about the Utne Reader).
