He doesn’t make that, or better yet she picks that clue, and her lead is once again insurmountable going into final.
I like how Ken pushes people to use daily doubles properly when they are trailing. "You see the scores, you are watching how Amy is playing".

And then the utter disappointment when they don't bet big.

I find that generally Jeopardy players are really poor in deciding what to bet.
For instance when someone bets ALMOST all their money, but not enough to take the lead? WTF is the rationale for that.
