Oh, my ..... yes. I'm rooting for James!

I find that I am very tense when he bets those huge sums of money on the daily doubles and hope that he will get the correct answer.

I remember when Ken Jennings went on and on with his wins. Eventually, I wanted someone to beat him. I wonder if I'll feel the same way about James.

There is a contingency of people who think James is ruining the show, but I'm not one of them.

Definitely. The shows are quite exciting, and I think they are making the questions a little harder than at first. Apparently, there are some nay-sayers out there. I think they just can't stand to see someone so consistently successful.

I always feel sorry for the two opponents before each game. I feel like they're doomed before they start!

I love Jeopardy- my husband not so much. However James has got my husband hooked. He has added spice to the game.

Aren’t we all?

Yes, I am watching and enjoying it very much. He really seems like a very nice guy.

Same with my husband!!! We're both hooked watching James :)
I feel bad for the other players though as well.
I didn't catch the game where Ken Jennings lost but I followed him a lot.

I've read some negatives online about how he's hurting the game but I don't agree.

I think he has a photographic memory. It has been fun to watch him. I would like to see him and Ken Jennings together.

The fun part is, he usually starts with the top $$ amounts and works down. Most contestants do the opposite. My friend told me the other day, he was on another game show.

I remember when Ken Jennings lost. The question (answer) was very easy. Even I knew the answer to it. If James is a professional gambler, his mind has to retain so much info to remember cards etc. Good for him and I hope he goes all the way! I will be watching also.
