I hadn’t watched at the gym in a while… and, as usual, I had quite a physical reaction to at least one of the wagers.

I was glad I was on the treadmill when Addison was introduced, because I figured I’d be seeing a lot of tweets like this:

Is Addison some kind of stereotype mockery of hipsters–bread, studying architectural history, “Addison” ? #Jeopardy

I am guessing Addison’s demeanor won over a lot of people tonight.

Plus, he’s got it locked up heading into Final.

Jami Griffeth	Addison Godel	Jenny Orr
4,200	20,400	6,400

He wagered $4,000 on two of his three Daily Doubles, which mixed results… he had just $3,800 for the first. I can’t wait to see what he does with:

NOTORIOUS 20TH CENTURY NAMES

Hey, didn’t we just have a Final category called “Notorious”? Ok, it was “Infamous” but still – a little variety, please?

What actually happened

Jami		Addison		Jenny
4,200		20,400		6,400
3,200		4,000		2,001
1,000		24,400		4,399
min	max	min	max	min	max
2,201			7,599	2,000	2,200
201

Hahahahaha

Sorry, I mean

There were a lot of high points in this game, but the best part was the way Jami reacted to Addison’s victory: with pure class.

Something admirable about Jami acting so overjoyed and enthusiastic for Addison after he crushed her (skill set I don’t have) #Jeopardy

Also: a clue on Cerulean! I bet he was pumped.
