I don't get all this Chu poo poo. His tactics are something you see relatively often with 3+ day champs. I think the whole reason this pudgy jerk is getting the attention is because of the tie bid and the fact he routinely cuts off and annoys Trebek.

Yeah I've been watching him and while he's kind of annoying, I never expected to see people talking about him, or articles saying he "broke" Jeopardy. He's only been there four days.

One of these students is wearing a bow tie with a sweatshirt. And he's from Texas A&M to boot. I really hate this guy.

What was the clue? "Initials for the title of this controversial political song by a pioneering rap group does not stand for File Transfer Protocol."

A Public Enemy song with a three word title and an anti-authority message.

It might not have said anti-authority, but something similar.

I'm pretty sure Arthur would have had to risk an irrational amount to beat the single day record. Alex can't add apparently.

"The Soup" ragged on last week's winner for several things, but I thought their clip of her appearing to chew out Alex at the end of the show was especially funny.

I saw that on The Soup and thought for sure they would show her sad state capitols interview. Thankfully someone uploaded it to Youtube:

I hope she keeps winning. She reminds me of Millie from Freaks and Geeks.

Based off of her current win streak, I can't help but think about something the head Contestant Coordinator mentioned to us potential contestants in the Jeopardy Green Room before our tapings regarding a champion that taped after Arthur Chu but hadn't aired yet and her eventual win streak... Sandie might be the person she hinted at...

Can't mention what exactly she said, due to NDAs and stuff, along with potential spoilers about unaired episodes, but her performance makes me keep thinking about it now...

Guess not :(

I guess it was probably Julia? She's up to seven days now. It's pretty crazy that just the third and fourth women to ever break 5 games have been in the same month.

Don't forget that they take 4 wild cards to the next round, so the 0 wager for Leszek makes sense. $15k should give him a good chance of advancing.

Did Julia let out a "Yesss" under her breath when she hit the daily double today? That was kind of funny. I think she did it yesterday too.

They should start introducing her as "an aspiring supply chain professional" after that episode.

Sad to see Julia lose, though I'm glad that it didn't come down to one question. When I saw the FJ category, I thought she would surely get it right (or at least if she missed it, the other guy would too). I was worried she was going to lose because of that bad double jeopardy answer that she probably should have guessed correctly.

Pro (Canadian) football player on today!

Edit: well that was a disappointing performance. And I can't believe he missed a college nickname FJ question.

Chu is promoting a kickstarter for a documentary about himself. The makers claim they have gotten "unprecedented access" to the show. It might be interesting if this actually happens to get a little more behind the scenes look at the show: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/876040404/who-is-arthur-chu

The Ghostbusters category was pretty easy apart from $200, which was a one-off joke from the sequel. I didn't even remember it until Alex said the answer. Kind of a strange choice.

One more piece of Ben Ingram trivia: his favorite TV show of all time is Sanford and Son. He used to ask such a high volume of Sanford and Son trivia questions that I actually had to start doing some research on the show. Seriously, there was at least one S&S question per week out of 50 questions, and sometimes he'd even do an entire round of S&S questions.

I read some of his reddit AMA and his username was Red Foxx related, and he referenced a Red Foxx bit at least one time. So yeah, that's not surprising.

I'll be happy if Ben wins but I think I still gotta root for Julia in the final.

Julia made some BIG PLAYS today with those Daily Doubles. Too bad Ben didn't miss FJ to keep it closer tomorrow.

Also, has there ever been an easier poetry question for FJ?
