Not my night. I was repeatedly stumped. I did know where the 2024 surfing took place.
This game was over early, but props to Rachel for a strong finish after that early Jack Benny gaffe. Harrison’s daily average win is getting to close to Ken’s, which I believe was in the $33K range.
Wow, what a runaway for Harrison, and he sure cashed in. Well, I started out slow during the regular Jeopardy, but picked up speed in DJ. As for the FJ, I had no idea at all, and was actually surprised that all three contestants came up with the correct response.
The last time someone won that much money in 5 games is Troy Meyer in 2023. Harrison Whitaker is now qualified for the TOC but he will be competing in Season 43’s TOC in 2027 because today they revealed the field for the 2025-26 postseason for Second Chance, Champions Wildcard, and the Tournament of Champions.
I was 1/3 on DD and got FJ.
So, I wonder how long Harrison has lived in northern England, or if he does still live there.
Just seems a bit odd that he’s “originally from Terre Haute.” As I recall, when you go on a show you can be identified by your current residence or an “original” one. His swaying is a bit off-putting.
It’s not as bad as Ray, but I know what you mean. When I see the camera moving, that tells me it’s the contestant. Who was that poor sport from 4-5 years ago, who was all over the place, like leaning on the podium with his chin in his palm. He was the guy who put his head down on the podium when he lost, and wouldn’t engage after the game. That might have been in a tournament.
