and fearless and she got two of the three Daily Doubles and did a James on the first one. Great game because all three players were in it.
He was a remarkable player. 32 straight wins and just about $53,000 behind's Ken's haul in less than half the number of games.

He would have had $46,800 and she ended with $46,801 - Pity - what a run!!

has made, he certainly doesn't have to worry. Now he can relax. Maybe travel and do stuff he wasn't able to do before he had money. I really liked him and was sorry to see him go but he's probably very happy.

... James knows a lot too. I suspect that James let her beat him on the buzzer. She answered more questions in the Double Jeopardy round, and that's how she ended up ahead going into the Final Round.

I came to the same conclusion, James wanted to walk away and call it a day.

I really enjoyed James - wanted him to win the money record tonight. Ah well - life is what happens after we make plans - three good competitors.
