I thought they were going to have a round in which everyone answers questions that they already did based on with the podcast for saying about a board with answer The contestants previously responded but that seem to not happened exactly. I knew he was going to win from the beginning too. (it took me awhile to get to this episode because the day I was going to watch it 'game show day' happened.) but since this got the most comments I decided to put my hat in the ring. The 'great upsets joke' was funny. it seems father Brown Chronicles should be added to the study guide as I think we have seen this book be mentioned earlier this season. these are nice games to relax to overall. The 'I give up' statement after that daily double find was funny granted he has been finding them (as is his style) even in not 'hotspot' areas. I mostly have been watching the questions deeply instead of the contestants but towards the end I did notice James was sounding slightly annoyed with even Ken slightly highlighting it. (which at least confirmed that it was not my head) I think that Final interview kind of shook him up (I am not even sure if it was sarcastic or not to be honest and I am not going to try to understand poker players). I love the 'hypeman comment' it was particularly enjoyable together with the ooo. oh and The ones and future king as the question for the final of the tournament was beautiful symbolism.

I missed every show and only have seen a couple of message threads. Our local ABC affiliate (KODE Joplin) is in a pissing match with DirecTV and I don't watch OTA because I'm spoiled by the DVR.
This post makes me want to look up the games and watch them. It also makes me want to vote for RKS for President. It's so refreshing to hear sincere positive comments and it elevates both parties. Thanks for the TLDR. I was always partial to Mattea as providing the most entertaining superchamp streak where you really didn't know what would happen.
same thing happened to my station for CBS at one point it was unpleasant. actually this happened with ABC A few times temporary and I was upset (I did not have a DVR then and dancing with the stars is something wanna watch live).
this was a very fun tournament I agree with Robert k s above on this being amazing tournament idea.
about the amount of jeopardy at one time, this was a lot. there is a reason I am writing a post to a thing that happened the about a month ago. (granted May was a busy month for me this year). also it was almost like no the channel had anything other than Jeopardy (except like one or two other shows or movies a week).

I understand it's mostly an act, but I'm tiring of James's villain schtick.
agreed I hope this 'phase' is done. part of with me wonders if it was actually his idea or a brand supervisors idea. (either personal brand or the chase) I will say it was not a good attempt but though it does should say on the fact that somepoint listing your former job gets ridiculous depending on your perspective.

I read somewhere the charity donation was James’ idea.
almost all celebrity tournaments donate winnings to charities these days (by that I mean post 1990s and it was likely even slightly earlier than that). (smarter than the fifth grader might be the only exceptions and I was shocked when I read about that.) (unless you meant that sarcastically which then I look like a fool). granted I did not even notice it was for charity.

With all due respect, imagine telling Tom Brady "Hey, you won the Super Bowl, you can't play again for a few years".
except that's a team sport. (I am not even against the winners coming back, but I feel like this argument has to be put perspective.) Tom Brady plays for the team he is signed to. (which in his case is not even the same one each time).

James is terrific, but he's so good that he changes the nature of the game - every match is about him, and whether anyone else will be able to make it close enough to even have a chance at beating him. Some people are going to love that; others may not like it so much watching that year after year.
yeah I agree he definitely knows how to operate betting strategy to a Point that almost the knowledge is not even the biggest portion. really his only kryptonite is The person that be him the first time (put name later).
but even if there likely are other people who know how to toe to toe with him somewhere out there. it cannot be someone who just makes big bets it would have to be more of a strategist then a person that is smart (which is what a quiz show attracts).
anyhow hopefully they can return on wherever they owe with that to mahjongg with Mateja, mentioned in ep 3.
anyhow here is the epilogue. this epilogue is long but I am not going to even tried to cut this epilogue down anymore.
