This is Jeopardy!

I was glad to see the Professor's tournament champ in the ToC tonight. He basically mopped up the other players. On the other hand, the 2nd chance contestant ended with negative 5,000.

And tomorrow, the 3 super champs are playing an exhibition game against each other! Should be cool.
 
I watched a bit more than half of it tonight.
It was a lot of fun.
Ken botched up a factoid that he was supposed to read after the category was closed out, but said it with one clue left and gave away an answer.
He said "Oh shit!" to much laughter and delight.

Very entertaining.
 
Amy Schneider was the first of the super-champs to play a semifinal game. She started slowly, but came on strong about halfway in, and could not be caught.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's game, where Matt Amodio takes on the professor and another strong player (who's name escapes me).
 
Matt Amodio lost his game today. He was strong, but the professor got onto a roll.

In final Jeopardy, all 3 guessed correctly. Matt was a close 2nd going in, but he bet zero, while the professor with a slight lead bet big, and won.

I enjoyed the winner’s anecdote about resembling Steve Martin, because I was thinking that also.

Yeah, that was funny.

So I guess Matt's betting strategy was that the professor (Sam) had an edge going into final. So if they both guessed correctly, Sam could wager enough to beat him, and so Matt should just defend against both guessing incorrectly.
 
And another "super-champ" falls. Matthea Roach came in a distant 3rd today. And while puppet-faced Eric Ahasic did well, he couldn't catch Andrew He, who bet it all on consecutive daily doubles (ironically just like Eric had done). Andrew was in last going in to double jeopardy, but ended with an unbeatable score.

The finals will include Andrew, professor Sam, and Amy Schneider.
 
The tournament is super exciting. Andrew has been using his huge balls to bet everything on each daily double he hits, which gave him 2 wins. And Amy powered through with 2 wins. Sam the professor is brilliant, and he goes into final with big money each time. But he always bets wrong. He either gets it right but bets zero, or gets it wrong and bets it all. He's also found the least number of daily doubles.

It's fun to watch, because they're all super strong players, but all have different styles. I'm rooting for Sam to get a win.
 
Sam won tonight's game! And for the first time, I heard uproarious applause and cheering from the studio audience. Apparently, everyone was rooting for him. Amy Schneider was in the lead and guesed correctly, but made a defensive wager, whereas Sam went all in. For the first time, he bet correctly. This tournament keeps getting better.
 
Well boys, it was a great tournament, but it had to end. After 6 games, Amy Schneider edged out Andrew for the win. Sam had a strong game, with 2 correct daily doubles. He was in the lead at one point, but he missed like 3 answers, and the other two battled to the finish.

I'm actually looking forward to getting back to regular contestants that I might occasionally outguess.
