It's mostly a matter of buzzer response speed with these six. A couple of them know every answer.

That's why I'm pulling for Mattea...the underdog.

Ben Chan got screwed last night in Final Jeopardy.
Miss-spelled the answer by one letter.

And just how is this even possible? It's more than just a matter of being smart...these folks must also have the ability to remember and recall everything they've ever read or heard. It's uncanny how they can come up with some of the most obscure facts...like when James rattled off the names of Rasputin's children like he knew them personally

Is there any hope left at all for Mattea?
We'll soon find out.

I just cannot get interested in Jeopardy with Mayim like I was with Ken.
She tries hard...but it doesn't work (for me anyway)

In our house the general feeling is, she is just too stiff.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

She is terrible in every way. No personality, terrible 'jokes', dresses like a 1950's granny, and terrible rhythm/timing when reading and answering.

There's a reason Ken did the Master's Tournament....

I suspect her days are numbered.

I hated Ken before he started hosting. I'm a fan now. He's very good. And not just in comparison to Mayim.
