I noticed this guy got up to 100k pretty quickly last week after winning in a row so many times. I didn't notice his game tactics because I only passively watch this show when I'm eating dinner. Going to have to pay more attention to him now, it might make Jeopardy actually interesting to watch.

Personally, after reading this article, I'm rooting for him. His abrasiveness is a big fuck you to the peculiar aversion to competitiveness as seen on the show. It's a game. and he's demonstrating that there can be more to it than just good memory.
