Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Jeopardy GOAT Match 1

['Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV]

I can sympathize. I’ve never been more nervous in my life than I was in my 
first game. My knees were shaking like I was jackhammering. Performing live 
before a thousand people? Child’s play. First game on Jeopardy? Terror.

Getting to Stage 10 is not an accident (except for that one guy who
made it twice, but we don't talk about him). 

You take a test. You pass the test and are randomly chosen for a
callback. You take TWO more tests and play a mock game. Then you spend
18 months of your life hoping lightning strikes twice. It does, and
then you get the Call. 

Being on Jeopardy! is the culmination of a lifetime of mental
fortitude, knowledge, luck, and courage. Just getting the call is
reason for celebration.

Here's the part that breaks my heart. She gets the call. She
undoubtedly tells everyone and their uncle she's going to be on. Then
this happens. And now she's got two months where everyone is
outrageously excited for you, and you alone (or close to alone) know,

outcome. ("So when's your air date?" "I believe they told me never.")

As much as I love to watch Jeopardy and bitch and yell at contestants
who give wrong answers, I know that if I ever got on the show my
performance would be closer to Priscilla's than Ken Jennings'. I think
she deserves a lot of credit for getting as far as she did. The
struggle is real, folks.

I have been following Ken Jennings on Twitter for years. During last year's
Holzahuer run he would post links to interviews he did. When asked about
how he would match up against Holzhauer he said that it was only relevant
to the 2004 Ken Jennings as age plays a factor especially with timing the
clicker. I'm glad we got to see that tested. He also gave Holzhauer credit
for changing the way the game is played at the top level. In his (and
Rutter's) day they went through categories from the top down and made
modest Daily Double and Final Jeopardy bets.

Tweeting after the tournament he said it was Holzhauer's influence that
made him play so aggressively. Rutter also played the same way with much
different results.

I have a gut feeling that this is a way of wrapping up the Trebek era of
Jeopardy.

The show airs at different times and different channels in different
markets so that makes comparing the numbers unfair.

Safe to say the show's ratings in weeks when there's no phenomenal player
are at the lower end of the scale, so probably close to 9.6 million.
