He's gotta be bleeding them dry. Usual payouts are like 20k. I'm sure they have increased viewership now, but what about when that falls off? They must have a plan

I've thought about this. They might try to get him involved in some tournament of champions thing prematurely so they can bring back guys like Jennings, Rutter, etc.

At least if you stack good people against him, there's a decent chance he'll lose, even if he's stronger than them.

even if they put him in the TOC, TOC doesn't interrupt the "regular" games. after the two weeks for TOC, college jeopardy, fucking kids jeopardy, whatever the last regular game winner gets to come back and continue their defense

in that case i guess they'll just have to scout hard for tough opponents.

either that or pay some vegas mobsters to kill him and pin it on a bookie to whom he owed money.

maybe they'll increase the difficulty of questions some. I think there was some suggestion that they did that during KJ's run but other than that I don't think they had any qualms about letting him go on his 74 game run.

I don't think winner payout is that big of a component of their operating budget.

in reality, they probably enjoy the increased viewership and will try to market him.

they probably love the publicity. those shows are cheap as hell anyway.

Alex Trebek's salary is like $10-12mm and the show's owners are scared af that jeopardy will simply drop off the face of the earth when he's no longer host.

given that he's upping people's interest in the show, I doubt they're super worried about the extra $30k or whatever they're paying out on this guy's avg wins.

haven't been watching, but if he goes nuts on every daily double and final question, it's just a matter of time, isn't it?

he plays a dangerous game. i don't think he'll make it to 74 games like KJ, but I do think he'll reach KJ's total (which at his rate will be about 30 games).

he HAS missed questions, and in fact he has missed both a DD and a FJ question. all it takes is one bad night where both of these things happen against another strong opponent.
