http://kingjamesholzhauer.com/ Dude already has a “fan site” dedicated to him (his Twitter friends apparently swear up and down he has nothing to do with the site). That “The Humbled” section irks the poo poo out of me because it seems way too braggy as gently caress. Not gonna deny he’s killing it though, and dude is a big name in the trivia community, for good and for ill. That Daily Double wager was ballsy as heck too. I missed Final because I’m used to spelling Bern with an extra E at the end. Was running through 6 lettered European capitals in my head and got as far as Warsaw and discarding it after Madrid, Lisbon, London, and Dublin before time ran out.

I'd be a Vegas fan if it wasn't for Sbisa LOL.

Soothing Vapors posted:I liked him a lot right up until I clicked that link Apparently that website went live even before the episode aired (according to Jeopardy/quiz show blogger who’s also hooked into our community Andy Saunders; the day before), complete with his first day results. Now if James wasn’t running said website himself, he most likely broke NDA by detailing the results of his first game to whatever “fan” of his runs said website. I mean, give close friends and family a heads up about how you did would be fine, but giving out all the details of a game like that doesn’t seem kosher.

It seems incredibly dickish to refer to your opponents, who passed the same test and audition you did, as "humbled subjects."

Ugh, I didn’t really look at the website so I missed that. That is def a bunch of poo poo. And yeah, if it got updated before the episode aired anywhere, then it would be amazing if they took his money away. I can’t see jeopardy liking the website, it’s def not in the spirit of how the show runs.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190325223937/http://kingjamesholzhauer.com/ Website looks like it had him as a winner before the air date, but Jeopardy was also running promos back in March about the next great champion coming up in April with a literal picture of his face on it. Nerds with an attention to detail already knew he had a big run coming up. Enough to make a fansite? Who knows?

Abel Wingnut posted:has anyone sent that to maggie? i will if no one else has. dude loving deserves hell From what I’ve seen in the contestant group, it seems like people have, since whoever is running the site is pulling the pics of the “defeated subjects” straight from the Jeopardy contestant website. Apparently, the disclaimer at the bottom of the site is enough to let it stay up, at least for now. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Apr 8, 2019 |

I feel like the more people angrily email maggie though, the less likely it is he gets invited back for things like the ToC and that would make my bitter, angry heart happy.

Looks like it's hosted on GitHub Pages, which normally would mean the history would be public, but they added a private tier for paid accounts in February. Still, seems kinda risky that there's an entire commit history floating out there somewhere! Edit: Don't know if I've seen anyone mention it yet but http://hasjameslostyet.com/ was also registered on the same day. The sites are almost certainly run by the same person, both on GitHub Pages and using Google Analytics tracking tags UA-136158238-1 and UA-136158238-2.

Poque posted:I hope he's not affiliated with that site because I have really enjoyed his first two games so far. There’s no way someone makes a site like that without his direction and knowledge. I’ll def agree that I was enjoying his games, he was a bit douchey but like, the “hey he’s a gambler, that’s what they’re like” thing made it ok. But yeah, for people like me who were on the fence but hoping to like him, the website just makes it very clear “eh gently caress you.” Jeopardy is a game where anyone who makes it on the show it really good and deserves to be there, so anything denigrating fellow players is going to be a poo poo thing.

I hope that Maryanne's future husband was only taking out her roommate as a friend, otherwise this might have been an eye-opening episode for the roommate's fiancee.

Here is the disclaimer at the bottom of his website: “King James Holzhauer is an unofficial fan site dedicated to James Holzhauer. Our purpose is to promote interest in James Holzhauer and his Jeopardy! appearance(s). We are in no way officially affiliated with James Holzhauer, his friends, or his family. This is a site made by a fan for the fans. All materials on this site are for entertainment purposes only. No copyright infringement is ever intended.

So just posting how stupid the website disclaimer is, and gently caress this dude. It’s a site made for fans, you see. That’s it.

He’s ballsy and knows when to make huge bets. It’s just unfortunate that his personality is such that it is.

James' weird helicopter story yesterday coupled with the Mt. Fuji story the other day makes me think he was a huge nerd growing up (and still is) but he's super insecure about it and makes up bullshit that he thinks makes him sound cool. "Yeah I took a girl (WHO I HAD SEX WITH) up the tallest mountain and it was raining but I still did it but then a helicopter had to save us and the President was flying the helicopter and he high-fived me and made me a special army guy and gave me a gun that lets me kill ANYBODY but no you can't see it my girlfriend took it back to Canada where she's a model."
