She said that she and Nate agreed they would need to go all in on the DD's. He did on the 1st but went more conservative on the 2nd.Quote:
Initial reaction when I met him on the shuttle and before I had any idea he was the "returning champion" was "cool guy! Kinda nerdy! I like him!" Reaction when I found out he was the returning champion who had already won $1.6 million was "oh sht. What have I walked into." Reaction after I watched him play his first game was "OH SHT. IS THIS MAN A JEOPARDY ROBOT." That's when I reconsidered my former position on Daily Doubles

Saw a post on reddit from someone who claims to be the 3rd place contestant today. It was interesting insight into what his competitors go through when meeting him, but exactly what I'd expect.She said that she and Nate agreed they would need to go all in on the DD's.

Yea but I'm not sure what that has to do with acting like he doesn't have the right answer. He doesn't gain an edge or anything.
Yes, and he especially hams it up in the games he could potentially lose. Well, there's only been two of those I think, but I really noticed it those times. I really thought he had lost the first time he did that.third coast.. said:
I'm talking about in final jeopardy after the other players answers have been revealed. Yesterday he looked like he was in pain but he knew the whole way that he won. I see that pretty regularly I feel like.
per that reddit thread, yesterday's episode was filmed march 5th. holzauer's reign began on april 4th. so we're probably at least a month away from that happening, longer for contestants who understand his dominanceCounterpoint said:
When will James start facing contestants that have seen his episodes on TV?
Also, do contestants know about Alex's cancer diagnosis yet?
they do that because back in original jeopardy, some contestants would just stop answering questions once they reached a goal amount, rather than risk any of itBig Al 1992 said:
I hate that 2nd and 3rd onlynget $1000 or $2000 predetermined. I thought they used to take home whatever they won. That makes the wagering a little more interesting as they might not be so aggressive - or could be very aggressive - because they want a few more bucks to take home as a consolation.

And when is the season over? Also, if Alex doesn't make it back next season, could it throw James off. Idk where I read it, but I saw something that talked about learning his cadence when reading questions really helping out the best players.

Yes but the light comes on after Trebek is done reading. Some players have said they learned to anticipate the light based on Trebek's cadence.I Am Mine said:third coast.. said:

It's Based on a light that activates their buzzers. If you ring in too early it locks them out for x time. They have to time it based on the light. And figuring that out is the real challenge.
