For those of you who may not know he is a professional gambler. He will soon beat Ken Jennings I feel sure.
There was a 2 week hiatus for Teacher's competitions but James will be back on Monday.
Alex Trebek (love that man) joked that they needed to give James a break as he's worn out from all the wins haha!
It's been fun to look forward to Jeopardy each night lately. I've been out of sorts since my Mom died and that show has been a lot of fun to watch. I've been a Jeopardy fan for decades.
Anyone else following James?

I've started watching since James has been on so long...I agree with those that say he probably has a photographic memory...how else could he keep all that info?...but that still doesn't explain how he can spit the answers out so fast! Even with a photographic memory wouldn't you have to sort the information out somehow???? Think about it for a second or two???? He's so fast!

James won again, of course. but it was a slower day for him. he had only bet $5k on a double jeopardy daily double in a category he did not like. and in single jeopardy, he only had $4k to bet when he found the daily double
