I’m sure we will see another one or two before the qualifying period is over. we’ve only have two women ToC eligible so far this year. Same goes for Rani… 5x wins is a great thing, and we don’t see many women get that high. I have no doubt someone like Carlos could have cleaned his clock if paired together in a game, but still, you gotta hand it to these champs that can win 8x games… only four others have won more than that number. 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.
