Thank you Topspinmo, for letting us know about this. I had not watched Jeopardy lately. Now, I am.

I wonder if that guy has an eidetic memory like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory or like Marilu Henner has -- for real.

By the way, does anyone know if Jeopardy contestants who lose the game get to keep the money won in the individual rounds?

I think the answer is that they get nothing but I am not sure.

I guess it might have to be that way because otherwise, it would affect what they are willing to bet and could skew the competition factor.

(I cannot remember which game show it was that gave the losers a case of Turtle Wax. TURTLE WAX??? -- I always thought that was wrong on so many levels, so passive-aggressive.)

Anyway, what do Jeopardy losers get now? (If you have the answer, you do not have to put it in the form of a question. I just want to know.)
