Tyrel Cody Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The first square chosen tonight was a Daily Double. He bet the max and got it. She got both daily doubles in round two. I don’t think he lost intentionally. I do think the show rigged it. Only one wrong answer tonight, that’s combined. The questions were easy and she rang in quicker than him; this leads me to believe Jeopardy screwed with his button. I also find it quite suspicious that he only got one daily double.

Did she fish for the Daily Doubles the same way James did? I truly believe that James changed the way the game will be played in the future, we’ll see.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I don't understand all the conspiracy theories. He got a lot of daily doubles because he controlled the board 75%of the time. He said he wasn't a fan of guessing so although he answered a lot he wasn't just pressing that button everytime as fast as he could. The other players have buttons to press to. The winner was very smart and seemed confidant. And of course his strategy of going for the high dollar questions first doesn't work for people who can't answer as many as he could. It was just his time to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eye Jim Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think she legit beat him to the first daily double, however she did appear to be mashing the button on occasion. They did load the day against him however. We'll have to see how long she runs. I honestly don't think he tanked. If I remember the numbers correctly, he took a low bet, meaning he bet just enough to cover double the guy in Third and hoped that Emma missed the question, which was the only way he was going to win final.

I just found it boring with James killing it every night, plus the Indians are on most nights at 7:10 so I watch on the commercials. I don’t have a box to record.

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 His Final Jeopardy bet reflected the fact that he knew he couldn't catch her unless she missed the clue. Someone good caught him on a day when he wasn't at his best and had a great day herself!! He has changed the way the game will be played from now on! He'll be on all-star shows from now on and he WAS offered that job with the Chicago Cubs too!!! Congrats on a GREAT run!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 GIven the game show scandals of the 50s I doubt any network would be stupid enough to engage in hanky panky again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eye Jim Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm not saying there was hanky panky. I just think that the producers made sure there were 2 really good candidates on the show against him, and one appeared to have near the same button control as James. She definitely worked the board the same way he does, but we'll see if she does that again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the middle guy was also messing it up for James, he was quick and answered quite a few questions that normally would have gone to James. Emma was awesome. I wish her luck but at the same time I hope for close games like last night! That's what makes the game so interesting to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Been watching the show for some time. James made it interesting and informative for me. The young lady that beat him was very smart also. She has apparently seen Jeopardy before, and has a good idea of how the game is played. It will be interesting to see how the show goes from here and the mark that James left on it. I suppose the down side of it is now, is that everybody will expect James to pick up the tab for lunch.

Yul Lose Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Emma may do alright, she’s right up there with James and plays it the same way. You still gonna watch, Rye? Emma looks a lot like the little gal in the first True Grit with John Wayne, Kim Darby I think was her name. The guy in the middle looks like Billy Bob Thornton.

She showed last night that she was pretty weak in some categories that the other two contestants did well on.
