Road Runner Posted September 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 14, 2019 Since the beginning of time, only 8 contestants have won 10 consecutive games or more on Jeopardy! Today, Jason became the 9th person to do it. If he wins 4 more games, which certainly looks likely, he will be the 5th winningest player of all time. Yet no hoopla. No excitement or praise on the internet or other mass media outlets as James received. Of course, Jason is a math teacher from NM and not a gambler from Nevada. I wonder if @roadsue has ever met him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted September 14, 2019 I always thought mathematicians/math teachers were typically kind of limited in their interests and that they wouldn't perform well on Jeopardy since it involves such a wide range of knowledge. Obviously, I was dead wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share #19 Posted September 17, 2019 I heard on the news that Alex said he is not afraid to die, but he wants to hang around and be with his loved ones as long as possible. So he has elected to go through another round of the ghastly treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
