I was worried for her at the beginning... clearly had buzzer technique issues. But once she got in the groove, it was all over! |

She was really agressive with the buzzer early on, i.e. hitting the button over and over and waving it up and down, but Larissa is still <3.
The hitting over and over again thing was explained once in here. Apparently they often tie when buzzing in so the system resets itself with a slight delay before another buzz is accepted. So they hit it over and over again to win in the event of a probable tie. I didn't dream that, right? |

And the buzzer pressing - you have about a 1/4 second to ring in when the lights tell you (after Alex finishes reading the questions). If everyone rings in at once the system resets after another 1/4 second. So especially on the easier clues, you can see everyone pressing like crazy because you know that you all have the answer. Larissa was her usual amazing self. And I really like the wardrobe improvement! Still hoping for a Cora/Larissa showdown in the semis! |

He never stood a chance against Larissa. reversecurves wrote:I hate how so much depends on how quickly you can buzz in. If they would make the questions a little harder, this might not be such an issue.

If they make the questions harder they will alienate the viewers. And they may lose contestants other shows where you can get $25,000 for spinning a wheel.

What sucked about Larissa's run is that her loss was so dumb. It was epic too, it was the last clue of the DJ and had she got it right, she would have had
a lock game, if not then she would lose it all. Unfortunately she lost it all, but she had a lot of dramatic wins so it was only inevitable to happen.
Hopefully she can win this tournament (She is the favorite, I'd assume) and go down as a legendary Jeopardy player. I love long running champions like her, they get people excited about the show. |

I'm a bit of an OCD-freak when it comes to Jeopardy; always go from top to bottom, always bet in increments of $200 (so I hate it when people bet like $1,500 or something like that) in DJ, and never bet just $1 above the nearest opponent in FJ. |

This tournament is shaping up nicely. In the semi-finals, we have two of our strongest players in 9-game winner Dan Pawson and 6-game winner Larissa. We also
have Ben Bishop who's a machine on the buzzer during his run.
