I usually hate watching Jeopardy, but now I watch it every chance I get just to see this guy wail(sp?) on his competition. 

  It\'s funny how this is the first season where contestants get to play until they lose (before they had a 5 day limit for how long you could stay).
videoholic, I really don\'t think they give away 30 thousand a day usually.  You really have to kick your competitions\' butts, and make sure you don\'t miss a lot of questions to get that high, something that usually doesn\'t happen.  But I\'m sure Jeoperdy doesn\'t mind -- their ratings are probably much much higher than before.  (I jokingly told my family that Jeoperdy was probably giving this guy the answers just to get the ratings up. 

)
And I think it\'s funny how he has had the chance to break the record for most money won in a day, but on two different occasions he chose to tie it instead ($52,000 I think).  He\'s just playing with us!!!  Can\'t he just bet one more dollar?
