He said James lost today. Huge spoiler if someone didn't watch yet. Not cool.

Today was unusually easy imho..... I easily knew 90% of the clues and quickly (saying them aloud before hearing answers) including all Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy. Sometimes I pause so I can think through an answer to see if I know it - never did that even once today.

That might be the key to beating him - an easy board leaves more to buzzing in, chance and wagers.

There was a Daily Double on Friday that stumped the guy in the middle (Tyler?), and it was probably the most obscure Daily Double or FJ I've seen in a while. Nothing in the context gave it away unless you knew the answer, which is a departure from the the trend lately.

We couldn't figure out if he was just faking that expression to be dramatic, or if he was making the expression because he couldn't think of anyone to give a shout out to on his screen (which he left blank this time).

Oh! Everyone was starting to do it so I guess that makes sense.

I don't know any. And then French thing further confuses it. Just a huge gap in my knowledge.

Yeah, that's one where I'd put down "chamber of commerce" because it's the only thing that came to mind, thinking it's too easy, and then be pleasantly and mildly see when it's right.

yeah it is the only one that came to mind for me too... AND I've actually seen

Chambre de Commerce in various European places and French Canada - so the reference to "of" and "de" triggered it. For example

oh my god that lady was so stupid. why did she even wager any money? she literally just threw it away. how freaking stupid could she be.
You wager before you know the question

She didn't exactly lose the money she wagered either...

Non-winners receive consolation prizes. Since May 16, 2002, consolation prizes have been $2,000 for the second-placecontestant(s) and $1,000 for the third-place contestant.

Guy's net worth is probably not insignificantly higher than the amount of money he's won off Jeopardy and he makes calculated risks for a living. Read an article where he bet 75,000 on Griffey getting elected to the Hall of Fame with more than 75% of the vote (seems stupid to qualify the 75% as it's the minimum). Griffey was obviously going to make it, but 75,000 is a chunk to put on that bet. I just wonder what the payoff was.

Probably like 5 grand

They wager when they see the category, but before they see the question.

So like today, once you see the question, not too hard to guess the former capitol of West Germany.
However, based on the category of "World Geography," I would not have felt very lucky.

Shows what a freak James (and some other contestants are) that they're confident enough to make complex wagers to finish ahead of the other contestants' potential gain, just assuming they're going to nail whatever question pops up.
