Drat, I just saw a spoiler about tonight's show. May still watch anyway, though.

My Gosh...did you see this guy last night???? My husband is seriously convinced he's an alien (He kinda looks like one, don't ya think?) and that the next six weeks he's going back to the Mother Ship for programming updates.

His nearly preternatural ability to land on the hidden Daily Doubles

He's in control of the board. Of course he's going to land on the doubles. Duh.

It's just not knowing everything about every subject, but it's accessing that information in three seconds and beating everyone to the buzzer. We've watched every single episode he's been on and frankly, there's no other explanation.

Nah, he was all set to beat his one-day record & missed the Final Jeopardy question. He ended up with ~$23K, I think.

But, "He'll be back".
