She was not dominant at ALL during her 5x run, only had 69k to show for it, had a co-champion two of those days, but look what she did…she made it to the finals! I was pleasantly surprised.ĭrew Horwood, the 8x champ from back in March, needed lots of luck too, and wasn’t dominant. I don’t hold much hope for her to make it past the quarterfinals in the ToC, but hey, she could surprise me like Kristin Morgan did this last time. I really liked her, she’s bubbly and a great personality and I was so happy she managed to snag that 5th win to secure her place in the ToC, but she wasn’t a very dominat player, and needed a combo of a little luck and subpar challengers. Someof the 4xers and 5xers, etc have needed some luck to get to those number of wins, Rani is a good example. I’d say if a 2xer that has like 50k average for each day would be a great candidate. A lot of the dominant one day champs we see may be due to the boards favoring their areas of knowledge… who knows. I guess it all depends on the boards on any given day. I’ve seen many 2xers that held so much promise, only to get beaten the third day by some fluke. I personally don’t see a problem with allowing some 2xers in, as you suggested in the reply to my post. I will call this for Mark, but all three will be wild cards. While I was hoping to see a rematch this will do justice. Mark, on the other hand, took out Ben Ingram. Jared won a ****load of money during those 6 games, while Sandie was amazing. I will rate Terry the lowest, solely because 1) tournament, 2) she beat someone from my hometown NorCal, and 3) she’s a tournament player who won because of luck, and only luck.įriday 11/14: This game is the group of death. Sarah also equal on knowledge, and same with Terry, although tournament champions aren’t so used to this. Thursday 11/13: Drew needed lots of luck to win those 8 games, but he has an AMAZING amount of knowledge. I will say this all depends on 2 things: 1) Daily Doubles, and 2) Final Jeopardy!. Julia is great on the buzzer, Joshua has an amazing knowledge depth, and Jim is a tourney guy, so I don’t know much about him. Wednesday 11/12: Definitely a hard one to decide. It will be interesting to see this play out between Andrew and Arthur, two controversial players who used the Forrest Bounce to a Moneyball level. ![]() Both are Forrest Bouncers, and Rani can only hold her own if she uses the Forrest Bounce too. Tuesday 11/11: Rani has no chance against Arthur and Andrew. I’d pick Ben over Rebecca, but Rebecca is easily a dark horse provided she hits a big DD wager early in J or DJ. ![]() Monday 11/10: John is the clear underdog in this one, seeing as he is in because of a tournament and we don’t see a lot of gameplay in tournaments. An additional note about this list - it does not include tournament winners who are eligible for the TOC - in fact, last year’s winner was the Teacher’s Tournament winner as well.Ĭolby Burnett was the winner of the last Tournament of Champions.Īnd here is list of players who have won over $150,000 on Jeopardy to date: This list has been reordered by number of games won.
