That Film theory video is great. I actually remarked that the game James lost seemed ridiculously easy to my wife, but we're not hardcore enough to actually track our coryats. Just felt stupidly easy and the final jeopardy question seemed oddly specific.
But I wasn't convinced they actually did it until watching that video. Now I suspect that they did tilt the board. Would be interesting to analyze Matt and Amy's runs as well. Given the tidbit about predictability of long term champions and the recent rise of two, part of me is interested in seeing further analysis into if these were subtly... induced... runs.
Both Matt and Amy are deserving champions, but the proximity of their incredible runs after the example of Jeopardy James (with Jeopardy Jason in the middle as a 1/2 way point) makes me wonder a bit.
What better way to also ensure some consistent viewership through the loss of Alex and the hosting scandal as well...
