Dammit, I was hoping not to have to see Matt Jackson again; I found him really annoying on his original run.

It's such a little thing but if you're, say, $600 in the hole, why on god's green earth would you not go for the $400 or even $2,000 clue?


e: No longer a spoiler, so removing the tags.

They're milking the tournaments for all they're worth and yeah, Timby is right: it's boring.

I like Amy and Victoria just fine, but I'm sick of James. Good player but cocky personality that turns me off.

e: James and Yogesh are both 1984 babies, correct? I'm amazed that Yogesh and I are the same age...

Also, RIP Amy. She did well for herself.

Victoria could conceivably wreck James' poo poo if she gets that far. I hope one of these people give him a run for his money.

No real spoiler, just being careful since the Tourney is currently airing.

Great timing. I was just beginning to think to myself that Yogesh wasn't bothering me too much during this tourney, but he always manages to make an rear end of himself. James is cocky but he doesn't act like a dickhead behind the scenes (as far as I've heard).

Plus, I think a lot of James' cockiness on the show is a persona. I don't think he has a problem with confidence irl but he's embraced the branding of 'Jeopardy villain' and goes with it (e.g: the 'final boss' stuff). But he always seems to shake people's hands after the games and seems to genuinely congratulate their success. In person I think he'd be perfectly fine.

Yogesh's being an rear end in a top hat is evidently just his personality.

Didn't they experiment with this in some recent tournament or celebrity special? It's a good idea.

In the specials, they highlight the category title and then the clue value. I have no idea why they don't do this for regular play; it's nice.
