Jeopardy! Champion Called a Villain

Ithink the fact he is fat, ugly and smug plays into this,too.
Hey, if that's his strategy – Good for him!
He is a risk taker plain and simple. I think it's awesome he is doing so well and shaking things up. His confidence in himself is what tags him as the villain, but I'm on his team. He figures if he can find the daily double, than no one else has a chance at reaching him. He will lose when he fails to answer the dd's since he risks so much on them to pad his lead/
Go Brad!
Chu may be winning money, but he is killing the show. His strategy is gamer relentless, which makes the show less than enjoyable to watch. Younger gamers may enjoy the show while he is on it, but will turn away immediately once he is off the show. By that time, however, Chu will have turned off so many regular viewers that they will stop watching altogether. Arthur Chu says that Jeopardy is not a game of trivia, but is one of intimidation. In fact, Jeopardy is supposed to be entertainment. Chu is just uncomfortable to watch, not entertaining. Now that Chu has demonstrated a winning strategy for playing the game, no matter how unenjoyable to watch, why would anyone not use it? But then, why would anyone want to watch it. If people want mean, cutthroat competion, they can stay at work.
People whining because they don't like the way a contestant is playing a game. Ain't life a bi t ch. Chu's the smart one winning the money.
Sounds like a bunch of whiners out there jealous that this guy is kicking everyone's rear end.
this is why social media is killing our culture, or whats left of it.... people complaining and "venting" about every little stupid thing that comes along – its just pathetic
I thought one of Mr. Chu's strategies was to select and answer correctly the higher-priced responses thereby amassing a larger nest-egg sooner. Getting and answering correctly the Daily Doubles is a bonus. Finding/getting the Daily Double is a by-product of starting from the bottom of the categories.
Stratagy may get him more money, but you just can't take away the fact that he answers the questions!
I can't believe people are calling him a villain and saying he is the worst Jeopardy player ever. I think he is absolutely the smartest player ever! I can't believe nobody else has ever played this way before,
I get tired of people saying how smart Arthur is. He just has a great memory for total trivia–what river is in what country ? What bill became law in 1809 ? etc. This type of intelligence has enabled him to get a job as an ......insurance analyst ? I don't see it leading to anything much more lucrative, nor anything that might in any way benefit society.
Didn't he lose yesterday? Anyhow, I always wondered why people seemed to play the questions in order and go for the small dollar values early. Not sure if I'd jump around like he does, but hey, if it works, why should anyone care?
This will not turn anyone (of any value) away from the game. All's fair in love and war.
