    If you get the Jeopardy DVD it shows the whole Ultimate Tournament of champions for 2 million dollars, when Brad was in his prime. He had to beat 150 contenstants by winning 4 games in a row to get into the finals, against Ken Jennings and the 3rd guy, and the tournament finals was 3 games total score........he beat Jennings all 3 games and was so far ahead in the final game that Ken just gave "Go Brad" as his final jeopardy answer. Brad is actually the GOAT.

    Brad didn't bring his A-game; and he clearly was too slow on the buzzer. Still, I've seen him play in the past and I still feel he deserved a spot in the GOAT tournament.

      For anyone who thought Brad shouldn't have been there: up until the GOAT tournament, he was the only contest to have _never_ been beaten by a human opponent. His lone loss came at the hands of the IBM Watson supercomputer.

    Brad Rutter is indeed a phenomenal contestant and has a great playing ability, as well as his knowledge to know many things. You can't deny the fact that he has defeated contestants- ones who are not computerized, and won many tournaments in his path. That's some pretty hard work to do, if you could manage it. It's a wonderful thing to hear how much his life has changed for him, with this show, and I wish him all the best out there. Good luck, man!

      It's funny. When I first watched Brad in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions back in 2004, I thought he was smug and arrogant and I hated him for beating Ken Jennings. But then, over the years, he gradually grew on me, and now I genuinely like him. For sure, he is one of the greats , and I wouldn't at all be upset if he pulled an upset and won the title.

    Team Brad won the Jeopardy 2019 All-Stars Tournament because of Larissa Kelly. She was nearly unstoppable! Larissa Kelly is an amazing Jeopardy contestant!!!

      I've always wanted her to keep on doing what she would do, since I first watched her back in 2008. It really made me sad when she missed a clue on The Hague, and lost the ToC, but it made me impressed to see that she came back, years after the Decades in '14, to see her redeem herself with what she missed out on. She is wonderful!

    Because of Game Theory
    If Brad is losing big time in match 4 and James and Ken are close with Ken with a small lead, Brad should actually NOT ring in to answer questions correctly to give James the best chance of winning
    If Brad answers a question right, that will end up giving Ken the best chance of winning that match, where if he had just not rung in, then James may have rung in and gotten the answer correct. If Ken wins match 4, then Brad can't win 1,000,000, but if James wins match 4, Brad can reverse sweep (%4 of the time or so if players are equal), and win the $1,000,000 himself
    Also, if no one rings in, Brad has incentive to ring in and answer "What is ... I don't know" or any other troll answer he feels like giving, as this will give both Ken and most importantly James a reset shot clock to guess themselves. If he is really clever, he can ring in after both of the other players don't ring in, and say "The statue of liberty" When the answer is "What is the Statue of Liberty." This will communicate to James the answer is "What is the Statue of Liberty." There are no rules against such plays.
    My question is... Is Brad even smart enough to know this???? LOL (joke)
    As a joke I told my Dad yesterday, "Not only is Brad stupid... He is SLOW" (SOOOO Messed up lmao)
    The format is bad because of these obvious loopholes in the system. They should of let players keep the money they win per round, subtracting negative amounts from their prize, or even just combine every show total, and let the winner keep everything on top of the million. I hope to see Brad stay silent in these latter rounds of match 4, as he secretly roots for James (out of self-interest)
    Hopefully he just wins Match 4 though ha
