James Holzhauer: Jeopardy's secret weapon against Family Feud?

(1/4) > >>

johnnya2k3:
Unless if you were just back from Mars, James Holzhauer has been on a reign of terror on Jeopardy! faster than you can say Ken Jennings, breaking one-day records (his first eclipsing Michael Larson's that stood for 35 years), betting all or almost all on his Daily Doubles, and now, reaching the $1 million mark...and that's all in a span of two weeks!

But I think the real reason James has been kicking ass? He's been helping Jeopardy do the same ratingwise against Family Feud...and it's working! According to the Nielsen syndication ratings for the week ending 4/14, Jeopardy! edged out Feud 6.4 to 6.0, which is a 5% increase. Of course, this comes as the national advertising sales for Feud will soon be handled by CBS Television Distribution.

As far as James' winning ways are concerned? I'm sure at some point he'll falter and give the other two contestants a chance to dethrone him. For right now, we'll just have to ride it out.

Maybe I need sleep, because I don't know what in the hell any of this means.

You do realize that there's been at least a couple dozen game show contestants who have won six-figures in one day, right? Daytime and primetime, there's several people who eclipsed Michael Larson since 1984. I'm sure you were going for something here, but Words Have Meanings and all.

None of these sentences have anything to do with one another. It's just one giant word salad of opinions with a couple facts as croutons. You ask the reason James kicks ass, but never give an answer. He's a professional gambler, hence the large wagers. Yes, his strategy and winning gets people watching. Ken Jennings had the effect 15 years ago. What does Family Feud getting a new distributor have to do with anything? The ghost of Rod Roddy is currently asking me if I'm confused, and the answer is yes.

TLEberle:
No, you don’t need more sleep necessarily—Jonathan Allen needs to post less and watch Pat O’Brien more. Everything he wrote was obvious and his insight is non-existent. All it proves that Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing works and JA needs to get a blog. Or a cat. Maybe both.

Strikerz04:
These are all most certainly words.


But the ratings have some weight.

TLEberle:
To what? Jeopardy can’t really put a particular person in a particular time. He got the effect and cause mixed up.
