I always wondered about Austin Rogers, the ‘new’ Ken Jennings for a number of episodes. He bet massive amounts when he hit the daily doubles and, most of the time, did get the questions right. I guess he just approached it as like being play money, not his yet anyway. And then the woman who beat him was a ‘one day champion’. All in all, we sure do enjoy challenging ourselves with most of the questions.
I watched Austin Rogers and had the impression that he just wanted to have fun.
