    I say he's kinda a freak. He looks like a nerd that would read the Encyclopedia for fun.

    I have not paid much attention, but the one thing I did hear is that he is a quiz bowl coach for school kids or some shit like that. So basically he lives and breathes trivia and now he's found a way to cash in on it. Good for him.

    Edit: Just got off my lazy ass and read the article Math linked. He writes quiz tournament questions so he'd BETTER be good.

    I'm going for the conspiracy angle myself. I think Jeopardy puts a miniature mike inside his ear and reads the answers to him as they are being asked. Look at the ratings boost this guy has given the show. Even with the quiz bowl shit, there's no way he's seen all the answers to all the obscure shit that Jeopardy asks.

    Conspiracy all the way. I would like for Jeopardy to start to bring back all the five day champions that are around and let them compete again. I think the folks that Jeopardy is putting against him are not that good. If he wins for a year then there would be no Jeopardy tournment. The five day winners out there are probably real upset.
