Jeopardy Fans Irked By Former Poker Pro's Unconventional Game Show StrategyJacob Wins For The Sixth Time, Increasing Earnings To $149,802 |
|
We’ve been reporting on former poker pro Alex Jacob and his unorthodox, but successful Jeopardy playing style all week. In fact, on Friday Jacob won for the sixth time, increasing his earnings to $149,802, but some game show purists out there still aren’t sold on the 30-year-old’s strategy.
Jacob has been dominating his competition by jumping around each Jeopardy category, which throws his opponents off and allows him to find the Daily Doubles more quickly. Once he gets a Daily Double, he either bets big to make his lead insurmountable, or bets small to steal a double up opportunity from the other contestants.
To commemorate his impressive run, Jacob created the Twitter account @whoisalexjacob and he’s done a great job of archiving not only the positive tweets from his fans, but also the negative tweets from the haters.
Here are a few of our favorites.
Jeopardy contestants who don't work from $200 (or $400) and then down a category are probably certifiable sociopaths.

I effing love this cat, Alex, on #Jeopardy this week. He simultanously runs that game AND gives no f**ks.

I would NOT be surprised if this week's Jeopardy champ, Alex, was a serial killer.

Starting with the hardest questions on jeopardy like "I'd like to take being a fucking show off for 2000 Alex"

Every time the camera cuts to Alex he looks like he's thinking about what he's going to eat for dinner…. #Jeopardy
