Gugny Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 His first day, his demeanor rubbed me the wrong way. Since then, his personality has grown on me. His strategy doesn't bother me one bit. I actually find it exciting g and ballsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 People are complaining about how a guy wins a TV game show, because it's unfair that he doesn't work his way from the top of the board down? Yeah, we're not a completely spoiled society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Good for him! What a fantastic interview with him! Awesome. He's in it for real money, out compete your opponents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The AV Club, a sister publication of The Onion, did an article/interview on how he came off those first couple appearances. I haven't seen him on the show but it was a good interview. If I wasn't posting this whilst sitting on the throne I'd find the link for you, but I'm sure you could find it just as easily if you were interested His first day, his demeanor rubbed me the wrong way. Since then, his personality has grown on me. His strategy doesn't bother me one bit. I actually find it exciting g and ballsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 He just dominates. I've watched almost every one he's been on and he builds an early lead then searches for the daily double and always doubles his money. He had 11K yesterday halfway thru the first round. The other two had zero chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ken Jennings used a similar tactic, Get the higher values and the others cannot catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ken Jennings used a similar tactic, Get the higher values and the others cannot catch up. Exactly. They force their opponents to employ the same tactic, too. But people like Jennings and Chu can bounce back from missing the occasional daily double. Most others cannot. I watch Jeopardy! daily, and have for many years. I find myself looking forward to 7:30 more so since The beginning of the A.Chu Dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in the Eastern zone, it was a 730 ritual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Chu is ridiculous. I haven't seen a category that he has really struggled with in the 4 or 5 episodes I've seen during his streak. Even the best of the best Jeopardy contestants usually come across certain categories that they struggle with. Not him. Hope he keeps it going!

beckenbauer Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He is sharp as a tack and lightning quick. He couldn't play that well if he weren't. I am proud of the fact that I knew a few that he did not, but most of the time he hits the answer before I can get my brain in gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 We get to see the blind guy go at it again, tonight. I can't believe it was 15 years ago. Arthur will be back next week. I wonder if his wife, Ku Koo Ka, will be in the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best of the best Jeopardy contestants usually come across certain categories that they struggle with. Not him. Hope he keeps it going! Sports. And to say he struggled with it would be a generous description. I believe he hit the Daily Double and lost $1 for missing it. It was the sports category that made me dislike him. He was douchy about it as if he was too cool to watch sports and that anyone who does is a joke. I can't remember the exact comment but I do remember that it made me think he could benefit from a good punch in the face. Aside from that the guy is incredible. His gameplan is genius and he executes it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Aside from that the guy is incredible. His gameplan is genius and he executes it well. And there in lies the rub with some people... He simply out competes his opponents. I don't know what the problem is. He isn't cheating or breaking any rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Missed it....got the final jeopardy part wrong or someone just took it to him.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 A bunch of factors. Alex took it to him with a bunch of mispronunciation catches. The two women he went against were quick with their buzzers. He also went for a true daily double midway through double jeopardy and lost it all. Then he missed the final question and lost it all again. He had no chance at that point because the winner got it right and he couldn't have caught up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
