Where James needed to be very smart to win what he did, there still is an element of luck in the game. If he found his daily double a question or two later, or if he got one in the second round the result would be different. I enjoyed his run and hope he gets his dream job.

Watching Emma, it is like deja Vu all over again.
Same intense look, wagered everything on the daily double, starting from the bottom,
Here we go again.........
Yeah but she didnt have a fake smile.

I think they look like brother and sister.
My friend was on Jeopardy, she is a witty and charming person, but she came across as stiff and humorless on the show.

Here's How Emma Boettcher, The 'Jeopardy!' Champion Who Took Down James Holzhauer, Was Dethroned.
Holzhauer's strategy of going for the big $$ clues first- searching for the DD's then making big bets on them may have long term effects on the play of the game. Back in the day, contestants would go through the clues in an orderly manner, top to bottom (mostly) and seemed happy when they'd get some applause for 'running' a category. Built-in was some 'advantage' going into Double Jeopardy by having the last-place contestant select the first clue- though answering it is a free-for-all available to all.

I think the 'Holzhauer effect' has already fundamentally changed the game.

I didn't watch any of this, but maybe will for the Tournament of Champions.

I guess we are back to 'normal' now. 4 champions in 5 days. Today's play was seemingly un-influenced by James. Ho-hum. It frees me up from HAVING to be in front of the TV at 4:30.

How do you get Jeopardy at 4:30? Do you have satellite?

Nope. We have cable. I guess it's syndicated and to a degree they can run it any time. We get a 52 week old show at 4 and the new one at 4:30.

I get what you mean. We went out to dinner tonight and I wasn't concerned about being home at 7:00 to watch Jeopardy.

That's nice, if you're home. Seattle's ABC station has Wheel at 7:00 and Jeopardy at 7:30. First-run on Monday through Friday, then old rerun episodes on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

That is what we have in Florida. In Wisconsin Dells it is 4:30, in Chicago 3:30, and in Green Bay it was six on Fox.

In Milwaukee, it's 6p for Jeopardy and 6:30p for Wheel . . . both on the local CBS affiliate.

The effect will take place after the summer. As these shows were taped right after he lost. The contestants probably have no idea who is at the time of the tapings.

I haven't been watching but, is Emma still reigning or has she been defeated?
Long gone. She only lasted a couple of days, and there has been a series of one day 'champions'. They're doing another kids' tournament now.

Since we have been back to Wisconsin, I haven’t watched much jeopardy. NBC has a problem on all its programming, the lips move, and a few seconds later, the words come on. Totally disconcerting
