So what was that question about Juggernaut where the correct answer sounded like she said Juggernaut. And the guy was corrected “it’s not Krishna, it’s Krishna” ??
Annie, the clue was “The term ‘juggernaut’ comes from a massive vehicle pulled by thousands of pilgrims to honor this avatar of Vishnu”
I wasn’t paying that close attention at that point, but according to J-Archive, Matt buzzed in first and said “Krishan” . Rekha gave the correct answer: “Jagannath” and. Robin corrected Matt’s pronunciation to Krishna.
What a performance by Matt! I’m loving it. Congratulations to him and I hope this trend continues. Also good for Robin’s charity.
Wow, what a game! $81,400 in 2 days is impressive! Great job Matt! Keep it up!
Matt is like a male version of Ken Jennings.
You will never be forgotten Alex.
I, personally, think that every guest host has been superior to Trebek. I liked Mayim the very best of all.
Sorry that the clues were mean to Pete.
Matt’s high score is very similar to what Larissa Kelly, Roger Craig, Mark Runsvold, and James Holzhauer had in their previous runs. I think he could set a new record this time around tomorrow. Pete is dismissed since Matt was pretty much hot on the buzzer today. Probably the second dismissal of the game so far. As a previous UC sufferer and achieving remission, Alien was my favorite film. Anyone else here have previously had UC before?
By the way happy birthday to the late Alex Trebek.
I hope he will make it to the TOC list!
Me too. He could be the next long running memorable champion, but I think that this is going to depend on luck. I think the last time somebody had a 2-Day Total over $80,000 was James Holzhauer who scored $82,606 in 2 days, which is the 4th highest 2-Day Total ever. If that’s true, then $81,400 is the 5th highest 2-Day total ever. The 3rd highest was Chris Fleitas with $82,901, and he lost to 7-Time Champion: Joon Pahk in his 3rd game. The 2nd highest was Mark Runsvold with $103,000, ever since him, nobody has won over $100,000 in just 2 days. It is possible, but it’s very hard, and the highest 2-Day Total is $114,000, scored by Roger Craig, and we all know what happened in his 2nd game, with $77,000 being an important number. BTW, Happy Birthday, the late Alex Trebek.
Yeah. That can happen!
