Dude is a frickin beast with $180,000 in 7 wins.

Supposedly he's getting a lot of hate for his style, but I think it's fun to watch.

Agreed. I enjoy the show a lot more when there is a legit champion. Roger Craig is one of my favorite players ever and Chu reminds me a lot of him.

He hasn't even been close to losing. One of his games (Monday, I think) he missed both Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy, and he still smashed them.

Anybody hating on him is a fricking idiot. Is he supposed to play "normal" and possibly lose?

Chu has been pretty incredible, but I don't think we will see another person do what Ken Jennings did...74 wins on Jeopardy is quite the feat.

Chu has that cocky nerd thing going on, and I think it upsets the old blue haired Jeopardy viewers

Jennings won the most times but didn't win the most money on jeopardy.

I DVR Jeopardy everyday. I am a huge Jeopardy nerd. Chu is a beast. He plays unconventional, but very smart. He will bet $1 for a Daily Double that he knows little about the category and will go all in more than the average player.

His Daily Double strategy is great. He keeps them away from the other players, and usually doesn't hurt himself. He is also very fast in moving on the board and it throws other players off.

He's a really good player, but gtfo of here with ken jennings comparisons. He won like 2.5 million on the show and won like 70 in a row. Plenty of people have won 7 in a row.

Nobody has really ever come close to Jennings-like domination.

The hate is dumb, regardless of his strategy he still has to get the questions right/hit the buzzer first.

Also for those saying he hasn't been close to losing, didn't he tie a game?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check it out tonight or tomorrow. May set the DVR when I get home since I think I'll be out when it comes on tonight.

Like a boss! I can't remember the last time I watched Jeopardy, but this thread prompted me to watch it today. He had control of the game instantly.

Rumor is the U.S. Government threatened Ken Jennings' and made him lose on purpose. Take that fwiw.
