The Big Board / Re: Cheering for a contestant to lose for selfish reasons....
« Last post by BrandonFG on October 16, 2025, 05:30:56 PM »There are definitely contestants I have rooted against because I haven't liked them. I had a friend who was up against James Holzhauer on the second taping day of his Jeopardy! run and supposedly he kept up the "Jeopardy! villain" kayfabe to the point where the contestant staff were complaining at him and this friend took an intense dislike to him as a person.I think that's what turned me off when he was a Chaser: he leaned into the villain role way too heavily. Ken and Brad seemed to have fun with it, Mark continued his role from the UK and GSN versions, but it really felt like James was self-aware for all the wrong reasons.
Wasn't a big fan of the other Chasers they added in S2 for the same reason.
/His "Brad's score is still up there" J!GOAT zinger is still pretty funny tho
