he goes big with those double jeopardies - plus he doesn't (at least to me) come off as a jerk.

Austin, isn't it? Anyway he kind of reminds me of Roger from a while back.
he has beaten some fairly decent players already.

but I am sure enjoying his run.

If I recall, both Roger and Ken Jennings ended their streaks missing final questions that seemed relatively easy.

Another funny thing I have witnessed over the years is that a player who seems brilliant one day can look like a HS dropout a day or 2 later.

Austin is sure cranking out some major numbers.

but he was so far ahead it didn't matter. Today's game was fairly close until he got that second double.

after five wins and today was his sixth. I don't know if he's broken the earnings record but it looks possible.
