Can he suit up for us this weekend?
Is he heir to the Imodium fortune?

Blew it.

He's not a winner and we will never win a championship with him, should have drafted Josh Allen and Darnold and Lamar Jackson.

Oh wait wrong convo.

Epic run and he ran into some tough competition today.
He had an off night for sure.

He missed a lot of questions and for the first time didn’t get any of the daily doubles.

He had a good run though. We will see him again in the tournament of champions
We found out the truth this evening.

He is just another dumbass or in the language of this site, a JAG.
Did anyone see the ending of wheel of fortune?

Either that dude is the luckiest mother ever or that was staged.
Should be another Jeopardy GOAT tournament..

Amodio can replace Brad.
He missed one and it threw him  
sb from NYT Forum : 10/11/2021 9:20 pm : link
...and it seemed like he couldn't shake it off.

And what the heck with his final jeopardy answer? It seemed like he almost wanted his run to end at that point.

He had to know the Alps are not in Poland

Or the Danube.
His FJ answer was very puzzling  
moespree : 10/12/2021 2:19 am : link
He has proven over the last few months he knows geography and history, some of it about 100x more obscure than what the question was. And to make such a terrible guess is beyond belief.

They beat him on the buzzer many times. You can see he was trying to buzz in on almost every question but they beat him on it.
I had the feeling that he had had enough. he seemed very disinterested

Totally agree. Would love to see him go against Ken and James
I feel like he was done with the show

Are took a dive, final jeopardy wasn’t that hard and he got it wrong
supposedly  
AnnapolisMike : 10/12/2021 10:58 am : link
This was the first filming session in a few weeks. They film a few weeks of episodes in a couple of days. He said he was just off and while it started OK in single Jeopardy...it fell apart in double.

So much of the game is being able to buzz in correctly and maybe his timing was off. He certainly looked flustered when he fell behind. I liked the guy alot and was rooting for him.
He either failed to take his drugs before the show -  
GeofromNJ : 10/13/2021 9:29 am : link
drugs to relax him and to sharpen his cognitive abilities, or the show's producers told him to take an 'L' because the at-home viewers were getting tired of his winning.
He buzzes in before he's even sure about the answer  
oghwga : 10/13/2021 9:45 am : link
Like a lot of contestants do. It's all about the timing. That's one reason why ken jennings did so well, he knew the cadence of Alex Trebek.

I think the timing was off on the buzzer and it flustered him.

It's like adding more bounce to the boxing ring, producers discretion, once he couldn't get his timing right that was it.

Nice to see the dude who beat him win again though.
What about that person last night, Robinson-Gissette?  
Anakim : 10/13/2021 11:55 am : link
First question was about a late night host and he (he?) answered "J-Lo" (I know he meant Jay Leno, but it was still funny.)

Did you have any idea what he was talking about? Something about being a chimera?
