The before and after categories demonstrate that the best contestants aren’t just trivia buffs. It takes some real brainpower to put those clues together that fast. He spit that out faster than I could even start working through possible answers.
I watch Jeopardy infrequently. But I watched last night. It was an impressive performance by all three players. Jennings got Daily Doubles and the player he barely beat got none. That was the biggest difference.

Paywall. In 2020. Puhleeze.
They're not giving them many easy clues, and there were few mistakes (none in the first match IIRC).
In the regular show, the alleged political consultant has missed several easy clues about politics: lobbyist and non-partisan last night.

That clue was triple rhyme time, but same deal

Watched it. Felt like Weird Al in "I Lost on Jeopardy."
That was a great competition. I'm usually good at trivia, but I got just one of those rhyming ones. Great fun!
Yeah, I didn't/don't much care for those categories.

That's how James lost in his original run -- his competitors got to the DDs first.
When Ken got that big one in the first game, that pretty much sealed the deal on this match.
whatever.
but will Big Structural Momma need us to be a giant pliant client?
I would have solved all the triple rhyme time clues- they weren't that hard- but never as quickly as they did. Just wow!
