    No Daily Doubles for James tonight and he still ended with $29,000 through the first two rounds and $49,000 after FJ.

      That was his nightmare scenario, and he didn't even flinch.

      Jeopardy geeks have a statistic called the Coryat score (named for a former champion who wanted a more accurate means to gauge performance at home, it's basically your raw score with the results of any wagering on DDs/Final negated.)

      James' Coryat score is averaging in the $29K range, in line with what we just saw. Ken averaged in the $28K range over his run.

      Another interesting stat from Reddit: there are $18,000 worth of clues on the board in Single Jeopardy (not counting a wager on the DD.) Not only is James the first person in Jeopardy history to exceed $18,000 in SJ, he's done it four times.

        That, and the stupid assed woman that caught the last DD in Double Jeopardy, and proceeds to wager $1,000. Look, lady. You've got $5,900, he's got over $27K. There's less than a dozen clues left, and most, if not all, of the big ones are gone. You might as well have wagered a nickel. She missed it, but that wasn't the point. You're not catching him at that stage unless most of your chips go into the pot. That's the only shot you've got. $1,000 isn't going to cut it. It's not 1997 anymore. Once she did that, you knew they were done for the night.

          She actually posted on Reddit she was playing for second because she knew she wouldn't catch James and she wanted the extra $1000 to pay for the flight home.

            I'd like to see a second chance tournament for James' victims. That would be pretty fun - probably some talented players that got steamrolled before they even had a chance.

              Well, you sure as hell aren't going to catch James playing like that. If she bet $5K there, she might have had a shot. But that bet sealed her own fate.

                Part of his winning is intimidation at this point. Her stance has shown that.

                      This time, he swept the leg.


                      On an unrelated note, I'm really looking forward to Catch 22 on Hulu. I love the book. I like the movie, but I think MASH (the movie) did the job better. The guy who plays Yossarian looks good to me, although let's be honest: he won't be AS good as Alan Arkin. Clooney will be great. Hugh Laurie can only be fabulous as de Coverley. But, you know, if Milo Minderbinder is disappointing, then the show will be disappointing. Really, it all hinges on Milo.

                      Hmm... I just realized Nately doesn't seem to be in the series. Presumably, that means Nately's whore also won't be in it. This saddens me somewhat.

                        Right but she isnt playing to catch him, she is playing to finish in second. I mean why risk everything if you arent trying to win?

                              I recorded the PBS series "The Dictator's Playbook" and have been watching them. So far have seen Kim Il Sung, Saddam Hussein and Benito Mussolini. They are really interesting and well done (except when you watch them all in a row, you get sick of the same quotes from the same experts). However, I think I should not watch them all in a row, otherwise I am going to throw myself off the roof.

                              Looks like there is still Idi Amin, Manuel Noriega and Francisco Franco. I will keep you posted on who is the worst.

                                That actually sounds kind of amazing. But I could see it being a one episode per day (or possibly per week) kind of thing.
