He’s played 10 games and owns the top 4 all time high scores. Nearly doubled the previous record. On pace for over a million bucks by next Tuesday.

Just mind-boggling. I never thought I’d see this.

I’m guessing Granny’s birthday was November 13, 1927?

I'm starting to wonder if there is a contingency plan in place if they get a contestant who legit can't lose.

Destroying the single day record like that without even hitting the first DD is pretty insane. We might see a $200k+ day if he runs good.

Would appreciate this is well. Already got spoiled by tonight’s result elsewhere online randomly.

I feel like if James gets to 15 in a row, passes the $1 mil mark, and by dumb luck he loses, he’d still go down as the goat.

41 questions buzzed in on today, 41 questions right

Ken went 74. Makes you wonder at what point they'd enact such a policy.

Yep-James is at $70k average per day over 10 days, Ken had a best day of $75k, and roger had a $77k.

His average has been going up each recent episode too (since he's getting even more familiar with the buzzer), so I wouldn't be surprised if his average edged past Ken or Roger.

After enough episodes they can figure out his weaknesses and rig it against him. Making the daily doubles nearly impossible would make it really hard for him to win

IIRC correctly, after Ken’s ~45th game, they started providing new challengers extra practice rounds, for the sole (purported) purpose of giving them “buzzer timing practice”.

Also, bump for being curious to know more on this.

Probably best to PM if you’re in the mood to give it out; posting in thread is going to get noticed by Sony/whoever (they were pretty active in taking down a lot of dailymotion links right after the All Stat games).

hard to think of anything better for their ratings and ad prices than a contestant who can't lose.

maybe after a year ppl might lose interest, but would take a long ass time before ppl got bored imo.

I'm pretty torn on who I'd take in a last longer between Holzhauer and Trebek.

Yeah me too. Tivo inaccurately changed some of my channels yesterday and I got CSPAN instead of Jeopardy. I was so pissed.
