Steubenhoosier Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Guy from Ft. Wayne will be on the show tonight. Local press giving him his props...of course with no hint of how he fared. We'll see if a "native son" can do any better than the opponents who have had no chance by the first commercial break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for heads up. Becoming appointment tv again. Have to stay off social media for an hour because certain markets show Jeopardy first followed by Wheel of Fortune and vice versa. It's going to take a major mistake by him late during DJ for him to lose. Maybe where he risks a ton late in game and answers wrong and doesn't have time to catch up but I've noticed he goes all in early but as he hits daily doubles later he just pads lead never risks at all. Everyone is beatable but I'm trying to figure out a scenario where and how he gets beat. I mean he's routinely answering 40-45 per game correctly and only missing 3-4.

Leathernecks Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 He's a U of I alum, and from Naperville Illinois. I actually read today that in high school he competed at the WYSE challenge that the U of I puts on. I take a group of my high schoolers to it each year. He got 1st in Physics and 2nd in Math. I want to know who got 1st in math! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeared to me that he was pretty nervous, but did settle down and actually beat out Holzhauer a fair amount of times on the buzzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 A lower than normal win for James on April 26 for him. Probably because he misses hitting any of the daily doubles. Yet, James ends the week with plus with well over one million dollars in winnings. I think I am correct in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my luck I was curious if he was highest scorer not to win. Thanks for confirming. To me I think it would be a cool tourney if they brought 10-15 of the best ever not to win because of guys like James or Jennings....and have them play in a tourney.

The biggest challenge to date. Initial problem at the start of Monday's show. James hit the double jeopardy, the first pick. And got it wrong. Went down by the max of $1,000. Then I thought to myself.... better that than getting it wrong, later in the first round, by going all in. Can't wait to see what happens tonight (April 30 ).

Seeking6 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Didn't realize they did as many but professor from Ball St who was on the show said (article on WTHR) that Jeopardy tapes as many as 5 shows per day. They allow time to change clothes, quick break and that's it. Makes it even more remarkable what James is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing as when Gene Rayburn hosted the second rendition of the "Match Game", back in the 1970's ( can be seen on the Game Show Network). Gene lived in Massachusetts, but would fly out to California to tape the shows. They would tape 12 shows in one weekend. And Gene would fly back to Mass. Till the next taping session. The celebs would change clothes between each taping. And drink, in between the taping sessions. By the time they got to the end of taping .... things got kind of funny. For instance, the time the contestant's answer was Boobs.... and when Gene got to Fanny Flagg.... he said: "We're looking for a pair of boobs.... Fanny show us yours ! " LOL.

I hope that for IUScott's sake that the team who reached out to him is not the Reds I missed the talk about James interest in MLB. I have a great and long time friend. Knew him just after his pro football career ended Greg went from working in the NFL to working for Coca Cola, and eventually was hired by the Colorado Rockies. Greg, now is in his 2nd decade with the Rockies. He is a busy man now. But I will attempt to reach out to him about James. Just because I like the both of them Executive Bio: Gregory D.
