About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of wagering strategies in Jeopardy and critiques the harsh criticism faced by contestants.

this game right here was a case study and why we do not make dangerous wagers, especially not in the second round. Were the difference between a race to the finish line and a theoretical lock. Also, enjoy a very long rant from me about why the criticism of contestants who don't win needs to be laid off. I mean come on, you have to work your ass off just to get on the show in the first place, and then to get out there, not when because it isn't your board, and then get bashed by the internet because you didn't win, that's ridiculous. If I have something unpleasant to say about a contestant, it's because they're genuinely annoying, and it's usually a personality thing. Player and be an annoying person at the same time. Okay, rant over. Enjoy the episodeck Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
