Jeopardy contestant Arthur Chu

The current Jeopardy champ is so unlikeable. He may be playing by the rules, but I don't like his playing style or smug attitude.

Really? I love him. He is playing smart and I see no smugness at all. I watch Jeopardy every single night and if I am not home I DVR it and he is one of my favorite players. He is quiet and non celebratory but I don't find that smug.

He is a no nonsense kind of guy focusing on winning. I don't think there is anything wrong with that but his personality leaves little to be desired.

I am a huge Jeopardy fan. I have tried out 3 times and passed the test but getting picked by their lottery system is one of luck. My dream is being a Jeopardy contestant.

I've been watching him on Jeopardy. I also saw an interview he did on one of the national channels and he said he is trying to win money for his family. I know he probably comes across as smug, but I've got to give it to him for being intelligent and taking advantage of playing the game so that he can make some $$$$$.

ITA. I saw him play tonight and turned to my DH and said ""I don't like him."" He seems really smug and full of himself.

From what I have read online the Jeopardy producers and affiliates do not like the way he does not select starting with lowest $$. He looks for the highest amount s and daily doubles. Some of a ethical faux du paux.

That is a smart strategy. I have seen MANY other players do that in the past. He is far from the first.

He is no nonsense. I prefer him over some of the over dramatic hams I have seen in the past.

He's playing smart. What's wrong with that?

He is getting a lot of racist hate on social media that is for sure. Sad.

He's sooo good! The jumping around the board can be annoying, but his strategy is extremely successful. Can't knock that!!!

I have seen him a couple of night's and each time have rooted for him because I found the other contestants annoying. What was with the woman in the see-through black outfit the other night? Everytime they came back from an ad break, she was exposing more skin. Wasn't too bright either.

I like the fact that he jumps around the board. Makes the show a lot more fun to watch. Hope he keeps on winning.

I qualified for "College Week" Jeopardy many moons ago at the WTMJ studio in Milwaukee. There was a "lottery system" in play at that level also. But I did get a "Watch Jeopardy on WTMJ" t-shirt, Woo-hoo. I think I would have wilted under the presence of television lighting and the audience.

As for Mr. Chu, he has found a winning strategy within the framework of the rules. I think it's fun to watch the really great players. Remember Ken Jennings?

I can not stand him! He is so arrogant and obnoxious. I feel so sorry for all of the contestants who have to appear with him. I honestly think they should all be invited back and given another chance. I can't believe he holds down a real job, I don't know how anyone could work with him.

You seem to have a lot in common with him. Smug?
