    Brayden is my nephew and he’s been studying for this opportunity to crush it on Jeopardy his whole life !

      Hi Dave, that studying sure paid off today. 😁 Brayden was a beast on the buzzer, too!

      • JP says:

        I don’t think it was an accident he found the Daily Doubles either – he knew where to look (obviously getting them back to back involved some luck).

        He probably could have been more bold on his wagers, but it appears he thought about strategy a lot as well.

    Two Daily Doubles in a row. This means I say: “Right off the bat!”.

    • Nancy says:

      It was cute when he apologized to the other contestants for selecting both Daily Doubles back to back! What a gentleman!

    A well played game by all three players. Brayden is looking good to make a clean sweep this week hopefully and end the leader curse. I like to see more of the triple solve continuing this week. Speaking of Oprah she has her own talk show which seems to be gaining a lot of audiences. Brayden was pretty quick on the buzzer today and the ladies couldn’t catch up.
