That Jennings guy did the same thing -- jumped around the board. I always thought it was brilliant. Because, you pick a category and run it, of course everyone gets in that category "mode." When you bounce around, you keep everyone from getting in a groove.
I don't think he's a villain. He's a winner.

Like those people would bid $1 after everyone else bid reasonable prices on "The Price is Right"... 
It worked for em.

Or when people add one dollar to someone's bid.
I'm just glad he pissed off Trebek~
...this is just plumb dumb...to me, the negativity smacks not so much of his tactics, as it does of a certain amount of racial bias...many others have done something similar, and there wasn't such a stink raised...combine that with jealousy-and it becomes a toxic mess...I hardly EVER play a race card, but-this was the vibe I was getting...
Good point, Giant. Something I had not even considered. Did you watch him play before this new tournament started? Smart guy, but being a long time viewer it did tick me off a bit as to his style of play. Perfectly legal though - just different. I've seen others do what he does but not on such a consistent basis. He's only one win away from getting into this year's Tournament of Champions so that should be interesting to see it unfold.
...I watched each show, and I didn't find it disconcerting....the only thing that irks me, is he is bit to smug...plus, I'm with you Triple O, I watch the show very chance I get...just to prove to myself how much of an idiot I really am...not that there was ever a smidge of doubt...
He finally lost!! Won almost $300,000 though........

I don't get why this is a big deal. He's not cheating, he's playing the game. I like it 
I don't get it either .... he had a strategy that worked for him.... go for it dude !
