Julia Collins on Jeopardy! (SPOILERS)
« on: May 22, 2014, 09:36:52 PM »
What do you think of the long running female champ in Jeopardy! history named Julia Collins? She comes from the Chicago area.

I prefer Arthur Chu, but at least Julia is not as arrogant as him.

I find her very likeable. I wouldn't go so far as to say she's the anti-Arthur Chu but she certainly is refreshing. She plays the game with a basic strategy. It's also nice how she tweets during her games to sort of give a behind the sceens outlook of how things went down.

I like that she's pretty low key and humble.  She doesn't act like she knows a lot or is smarter than the other contestants, she just plays the game.  I hope she goes on a big run.

If she keeps it up, she may pass Ken Jennings. I'm not 100% on it, but it can happen unless someone else is even smarter than her & could beat her.

I think she can pass David Madden. Beating Ken Jennings' streak is a pipe dream though.

I'd have to assume she won again yesterday.

I think it's cool to see her doing so well. I've been watching her and she's almost the female equivalent to Ken Jennings. If only she would've got on one season earlier. It would've been cool to see her go head-to-head with Brad Rutter and Ken in the Battle of the Decades.

Julia's pretty much the anti-Arthur Chu if you ask me, and speaking of Ken Jennings...

Since Jeopardy (like all other game shows) is taped a few months in advance of their airdates, a decade will have already passed since Ken held the show hostage for 75 days. But as they say, nothing lasts forever, and Julia will continue her winning streak until the inevitable happens.

Wouldn't it make sense to not open a thread specifically about the topic at hand?

Perhaps the slight modification I just made to the thread title will help that little problem. :)

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.
