I would really like to see James and Ken Jennings battle it out along with another big winner.

 

I remember seeing him on The Chase years ago and the team beat the Beast. That was fun.

 

I heard that James is a Bettor. Didn´t know that was an occupation

We look forward to seeing James every day.  I don't think that there will be another quite like him on the show.  He is "one of a kind."

 

He is a ratings bonanza for the show and Alex is enjoying him tremendously.

 

We find him totally captivating and a joy to watch. 

 

He will be truly missed when he leaves the show.

I can not even begin to imagine the person that dethrowns, if there is any one able to do that, at this rate it looks like he will win for months on end

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@I am still oxox   One contestant a few days ago gave James a run for his money (so to speak!!)  but I think he will eventually lose when he makes one of his huge wagers on a Daily Double or Final Jeopardy and answers incorrectly.

Me either.  He is so good with the buzzer!  I think it was Monday i thought Nate was going to come closethe other night.  And the guy tonight in any other game would have won.  Remember when the bartender from NY, don’t remember his name?  He gave off clues after the filming so their was speculation in the hiatus that he was done.  Haven’t seen anything on James.

I look forward to the day that this guy takes a hike.  I quit watching several weeks ago.  When I tune in to see the contestants and see him still there I switch channels.

 

The program is just not fun for me to watch anymore.  If he's such a know it all why isn't he finding a cure for cancer?  Surely he must know the answer to this as well.

Why did James say this evening that he was worried about being accepted in the casinos after winning over 2 million on Jeopardy? Just because he knows trivia what would that have to do with his professional gambling career? A strange comment for sure.

I suspect those who resent James are ones who are on the side of underdogs, identify with them. Those who are enamored with him prefer winners, admire the best and the unique. I couldn't wait for that two week teacher tournament, seemed like a month, to end. Some day he will lose, hopes it's the distant future, and I'll miss him, a lot.

The only thing I think of when I see he's still on the"winning streak" is what the other contestants are thinking:

 

"Dear Lord I've dreamed coming on Jeopardy for years & now I'm here finally & have to compete against this guy go🙃🙄 just my luck!" LOL

 

It just amazes me the knowledge this guy has for all topics.

 

Although, at this point it's getting boring as a  viewer -- I would think there was a cap on # of consecutive games OR cap on amount $$$ a contestant can win.

 

But of course, I'll continue to watch🤷‍♀️
