He chooses the big money first, while still having an advantage over the neophytes who haven’t had much experience with ringing in at the right time. And he nails almost every daily double and actually doubles up.

I did a quiz bowl tournament in college because I’m a loser and I swear at least half the questions were about Japanese literature. I didn’t know shite. I’ve basically aced every standardized test I’ve taken and I’ve never felt so dumb in my life.

He’s definitely on the very mild end of the spectrum

She also had a perpetual bitch face on so no sympathy from me. I did like the other guy he was going against, he probably would have won a normal game not against an all timer. James is just a human encyclopedia and a machine all in one.

Agreed, but he actually missed one today (well, didnt miss but didnt buzz in, nor did the other contestants) that i thought was fairly easy, something about ‘Name this Ferrari model’ and the answer was ‘What is the Testerrosa”.. There was another one he buzzed in on and actually got wrong, but yeah, he doesnt often do that.

Agreed. I knew that one as well. Another question I knew that he didn’t was, “What is the needle on a record player called?”

I thought this too. This guy shows up around the same time Trebek finds out his devastating diagnosis. Pretty coincidental.

Watching his SVP interview, I don’t think he’s autistic. His lower jaw is wayyyy too forward. It’s almost painful to watch him talk. Great game strategy and field of knowledge, though.

He also mixed up Brazil and Argentina.

He misses but maybe once a show.

Yesterday, the Asian kid and the wacko drama girl got the daily doubles. And yet James still got about 50 grand.

No one is beating this dude.
