Rutter describes the show as the “best of both worlds” combining Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, moving at a rapid pace of close to 150 questions per show, on a good night. The Chaser has to catch up to the contestants before the time runs out to beat them. The Chaser then has two minutes to do the same but if he passes or misses a question, the team has a chance to essentially steal that question and move ahead. In the Final Chase, the final round, players have two minutes to give as many correct answers to a set of questions as possible, with each correct answer moving the team up one step on the game board. Three of the greatest Jeopardy! contestants of all time, Rutter, Holzhauer and Ken Jennings are joined by British chaser Mark "The Beast" Labbett in the current second season of the show to try to stump contestants. In The Chase, a team of contestants battle against a quiz champion to win money. (Raymond Liu/ABC via Getty Images) How does ‘The Chase’ work? Watching three people know everything (except the name of Bruce Lee’s style of martial arts) while giving each other a hard time is a pastime like no other.THE CHASE - ABC's "The Chase" stars James Holzhauer, Mark Labbett, Brad Rutter, and Ken Jennings. Knowing things is fun, and perhaps knowing what you don’t know is even more fun. He’s the greatest of all time now, until there’s a new tournament with even higher stakes. Jennings told my colleague Claire McNear that he didn’t think that age would hurt his buzzer speed-ringing in at the right time is a surprisingly important ingredient for success-and it didn’t. Holzhauer and Jennings seemed to be nipping at each other’s heels for most of the tournament, wincing after they lost the buzzer battle on a clue they could answer. Jennings won in a tight-but-decisive gentleman’s sweep, only ceding Match 2 to Holzhauer. Holzhauer was within striking distance for nearly the entirety of every night, but he came up 200 points short in the opener and then missed a Final Jeopardy clue at the end of Match 4 that would have given him a win. In the end, though, Rutter and Holzhauer both left the tournament with the same winnings.
#JeopardyGOAT /HiX3MmP6HL- Anne Beaulac January 15, 2020 This was the final score of Match 1, and things only got worse from here:ĪRREST JAMES FOR THE SAVAGE MURDER OF BRAD RUTTER ON #JEOPARDY. He spent a troubling amount of time with negative points, finished multiple nights with a zero-point total, and botched seemingly every one of his Daily Doubles while making Holzhauerian wagers. Speaking of Brad-how can I say this nicely?-he was not doing the best at this. Rutter’s answer in the last night’s final Final Jeopardy was “You’re the best, Alex.” The tournament felt warm, like a reunion Trebek’s usual instinct to lightly enjoy humor at the contestants’ expense was mostly gone.
Despite the stakes, Trebek and the contestants seemed to be at ease, bantering with each other and doing impressions while answering clues. The tournament felt like something of a last hurrah for Alex Trebek, who has hosted the show for 36 years and was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last March. At the end of the year, he won the show’s Tournament of Champions.
Prior to Holzhauer’s first appearance, no player in Jeopardy! history had made more than $100,000 in a single game during his 32-game win streak in regular play, Holzhauer broke the mark six times.
JEOPARDY RECORDS BRAD RUTTER PROFESSIONAL
Holzhauer was pitched as the contestant who had broken the most Jeopardy! records, although it might be more accurate to justify his GOAT inclusion on the grounds of being the “most viral.” Holzhauer, a professional gambler, became a semi-famous figure in the summer of 2019 when his analytics-driven approach to the game allowed him to effectively hunt down Daily Doubles, where he would then make massive wagers and then blow away the competition. Jennings is the show’s first contestant-turned-celebrity he still holds the record for the show’s longest winning streak, which he set at 74 games in 2004 after the five-win cap was removed. That made him the highest earner in the show’s history. Rutter, who made his original run on the show in 2001-when repeat winners could only win five consecutive games before being sent home-participated in five Jeopardy! tournaments, all of which he won. The first to three wins would get a trophy and the big prize the other two would take home a quarter million each.Īll three contestants had slightly different claims to fame.
