youtubed his name and found this. I had no idea they had The Chase in the US and it even has the british guy as the Chaser
Except he ISN’T a poker player. He’s a sports wagerer. He used to play futures but now is an assassin live betting.Originally Posted by Dan Druff
Apparently the guy is GOT like Alex Jacob was. He is a serial killer and has been accused of cheating he plays so well.
I haven’t watched since Alex. I detest the self important tone Alex Trebek anoints the show with. Merv Griffin would be appalled. That will be corrected shortly.
Nevertheless, I am told tonight is a must watch. I will make an exception.

Watched a couple episodes this week. The guy is a freaking machine, it's surprisingly entertaining.
Apparently they just finished filming the last episode till September. Not sure what kind of a delay they have, but seems like a very real possibility that Trebek won't live long enough to see him lose.
Normally, I have a hard-on for Jeopardy but yes this surprisingly entertaining and JeopardyJames IS a machine.
There was a point where the other two contestants were just laughing.

The thing I took away from the article and will change my perception of Jeopardy forever is the idea that on the whole all the players know the answers - it’s all about the buzzer
From Ken Jennings:
Great read and the definitive JeopardyJames piece so far.If you put random people up there on Jeopardy!, the most important thing would be who knows the answers,” says Jennings. “But with players that good, buzzer timing really becomes what tends to separate the winner from the non-winners.”
