Alex passed in 2020, and I think Lewis did as well

Not that it mattered, but I felt really frustrated by the lack of prompting on third Daily Double. “5” can mean 5, 500, or 5,000. That could’ve ended up costing Mandy the win had she gotten Final right, since a $5 bet and even a $500 bet could’ve kept her in contention ($9,795 x 2 = $19,590 or $9,300 x 2 = $18,600, more than Ryan’s at the time total of $18,000). Not that I want Ryan to lose, but from a gameplay fairness perspective, come on, man!

I agree. Mayim does a piss poor job of asking contestants for further information or clarification. Alex was a master at that. Mayim on the other hand is all over the lot. I seen her call an answer correct that is incomplete and call an answer wrong when she should have asked for additional information.

this is so funny because the guy at the end is a teacher at my school 😂

The answer makes too much sense in retrospect, but I didn't realize he had died.

50 dollars for killing Donahue lol

seems like only way was to remember Poitier's death this year and figure he was impactful to Oprah. My first thought was Lewis but thought he died last year. Not much can be made from his career by thinking of him as a great tree

Rats, I read the commas wrong: "This trailblazing man, friend & mentor, Oprah, said", suggesting that Oprah was the friend & mentor of the trailblazing man, instead of, "This trailblazing man, friend & mentor, Oprah said", meaning Oprah was commenting about a trailblazing man, friend & mentor. As a result, I was trying to think of someone for whom Oprah had been a mentor, so a younger person - lol. In any case, the clue is awkwardly worded; I highly doubt that Oprah ever referred to him as, "my dear old friend, mentor and trailblazing man, Sidney!"

No Brainer. Immediately answered Poitier. Oprah, being so shallow and all.

Ryan doesn't earn much every day. I believe that it will take him two to three times the amount of games that Ken Jennings played to make the same amount of money. Also, I do wonder if Ryan would do better if Ken Jennings was hosting the show; maybe he will still be playing when Ken gets back on later this year.

I think it's case by case. Looking at all the superchampions since season 27, Matt Amodio played under various hosts. Meanwhile, his highest total was $83,000 in a single game and he at least $50,000 per game toward his last few games, all while Mayim Bialik was hosting. Jonathan Fisher's only non conservative wager(s) was when he lost to Nancy Donehower. Amy Schneider averaged $34,000 a game, as mentioned by Ken Jennings in game twelve. What's crazy is all 41 of her games were hosted by Ken Jennings! 😮 Mattea Roach's first two games were fairly competitive and she did well under Mayim Bialik. After Ken Jennings started hosting, Mattea wouldn't earn too much until game 17. Between that and the game she lost was when she started to be competitive. I honestly don't know what factors interfere in how much or how little the superchampions win per game.

Many days when there is a long time champion, I’ll feel bad for the other players. But today’s box scores showed Ryan was clearly the best player. He only got one wrong- two if you count FJ. Steve didn’t get any wrong during regular play, but he only attempted to answer 26 times compared to Ryan's 36. Steve was slow on the buzzer at 38%. Mandy was faster, but got more wrong. So, the best player won.
