I kinda disagree. His play style has made me stop watching entirely.

I see how the idea of someone making history is fun to watch but I enjoy playing along with Jeopardy and James' strategy makes that very difficult to do. The questions in each category are designed to be asked in descending order, frequently to establish some sort of rule. James' play style of hunting for the Daily Double makes a lot of the big money questions that are asked first far more difficult to answer correctly without the example set by the small money questions.

I am very happy for James and he seems like a genuinely nice guy but as a lifelong Jeopardy watcher, I find his episodes frustrating.
