Has there ever been a Final with only one contestant playing? As mentioned it was close to happening last week.

Saw Final Jeopardy today. Wow, it is so demoralizing, why even try or wager when you know there is no chance to win.

Methinks ths buzzers are "rigged" (just like high volume stock "traders" to get a few milli-seconds advantage). This is NOT some bs theory that I "read" on the Internet....fwiw
Now I gotta go do some nuthin'... |

I don't see anyone coming along to beat this guy any time soon. In the end, he will probably decide that his pile of money is big enough to live the rest of his life off of OR he will get a job offer that interests him. I don't see him involuntarily leaving.

I saw a blurb where James said he was looking for a job analyzing sports statistics, before he realized being a contestant on jeopardy was a viable career.

He can and will lose, and the other night proved it when he almost lost in final jeopardy. It will just take the right question at the right time and he will miss it.
Just like Ken Jennings, who lost on what I think is a fairly easy final jeopardy question: "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year."

He made a comment on the show about wanting to be hired into analytics. I'm not sure if it ws a hockey or baseball reference.
He will have a job by the end of this week.

If you answer all the regular Jeopardy questions you win $18k. If you got the DD on the last $200 question you could get to $35,600.
You could another $35,200 in DJ, giving you $70,800. Double that on the last two questions gets you to $283,200 before final Jeopardy. You could double again in FJ. I think it's $566,400 in the end.
