I've been behind, watching DVR once at 5:45 in the am and a second at around 11 pm. Through Wednesday, 10/7, I only hit on Eleanor Roosevelt and Indiana Jones, so through 5 days I'm 2-3. Should be caught up by the end of the week.

I really hate the guy too. But he is a damn good player. I suppose this is the era of aggressive, jerky champs.
I guess Ljam is right out, then.

There are few greater feelings than getting FJ right when it's a triple stumper.

Reddit had a thread yesterday in /r/jeopardy about how "this could be the guy that breaks KJ's record". Love it.
