In his first episode I was annoyed with Austin mostly because I wanted the cool bald handyman to keep winning, but Austin has quickly grown on me. Dude is cool.

What was the deal with Jennie? During the interview segment she said used to be a management consultant, but then she had an accident so she couldn't do that anymore, so she became an actor instead.


So what accident could make you incapable of consulting but still capable of acting? There's something's odd about her story, Was her accident caused by her poor consulting?
Management consulting usually requires a lot of travel. It may have left her unable to safely drive or fly.

Your nihilistic answer appeals to me but I have to disagree. Austin is still cool and fun regardless of the fact that we are all dying in this hell together.

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.

I like Austin, he seems like he's having a ton of fun winning out there.

Ditto, ABC in NY ran an extra half hour of coverage on Las Vegas. Maybe I'll be able to catch whatever Austin did on late night tonight after Kimmel. Sounds amazing though.

Legally? My solution is a HD Homerun, an antenna, and DVR software for my computer.

Don’t think there’s any other way to watch local channels when you’re away from home. PS Vue has locals blocked unless I’m on my home WiFi I think that’s true of the other providers too.

Illegally? Might want to give r/jeopardy a quick glance.

Part of me was thinking "Poor Ryan". The other part of me was thinking "The Poor Ryan". Both would've been correct.

No but seriously, I almost wanted Austin to deliberately leave out an article at the beginning of something. But that would be cruel.

Austin really has been killing it these last two games, it's amazing. I wish Keith Williams was still updating his Final Wager site so I could see where his single game winnings match up against the records. Last I checked, probably at least third and fourth all time... Leaves me wanting to see how far he'll wind up going.

All it'll take for Austin to lose is for him to mess up a Daily Double gamble (or not even get one in the first place). I don't think he'll be around too much longer.

Agreed. His star shines too brightly. He'll crash and burn because it just takes getting stumped once on his double jeopardy questions. But gently caress, with a total like that already I'd be happy as hell if I were him.
