Note: even if he had bet all on final, he would have lost by one dollar.

I was in Emma's German class at Conestoga HS, crazy seeing her on Jeopardy now. The girl was super smart back then too haha!

[always-alicia]

What a Game! Just as Alex said it!

As proud as I was about James, my view of him was exponentially elevated when I saw him go over to high-five her. I’m bummed he couldn’t break Ken’s record... but it just wasn’t in the cards.

This was fun... pure and simple!

I realize people are majorly disappointed, but I hate how all these James Holzhauer trolls are belittling poor Emma and discrediting her by saying James lost on purpose. She's an awesome player and beat him fair and square. Also props to Jay. He did quite well too, but couldn't quite nail his buzzer timing. So basically James was competing against two really excellent players as opposed to the regular weak sauce opponents he regularly faces.

Congrats to Emma on beating James! Hoping she goes on a long winning streak herself.

I like how Emma got offended the next day when Alex compared her true daily double bet to James. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[tjhaeussler]

I hope Emma makes it at least 5 wins and we see a rematch in the Tournament of Champions with James.

[wmel-utoo]

Aww shoot 🙁 I can tell James was ready to go home. Going to miss him!

[jaspirita]

I LOVE that he immediately gave her a high five <3 Such a great guy!

[AOZ.]

The end of an 32-day epic, the story of a legend who revolutionized the game. James Holzhauer.

Hopefully Emma can at least makes a 5-day streak so she can return in the ToC, and face off again against James once more. Would be stupidly hype.

Can't wait to see the new players and how they attempt implement James' techniques into the game. Now is a time for change. Jeopardy is evolving.

He came so close to beating ken's record

[gungagaolu]

Bring James Holzhauer's back, Jeopardy is boring without him.

[fiercingdragon]

Great run for James. It was fun watching him.

[kennygrify]

I'm Going To Miss James and I Cried Tonight When He Got Defeated!

[therealrobinbullock]

Why isn't James first appearance on April 4th available on Youtube?

[puttitat]

Damn she got lucky, receiving a "question" on the Final Jeopardy directly related to her education! :o

[ECUC_Studioz]

Emma wasn't the only person that beat James on Jeopardy.

[theweysermanisback]

00:46-00:54 You're right, James. I wish that somebody would do what Emma Boettcher did, in order to take down Matt Amodio.

[Jonathan-zjto]

Well done by Emma. You could say James got a little unlucky, but I think Emma played well and took the opportunities given to her, while most people would of choked or played too passive. Emma earned her win.

[adriennetanner]

What a great season overall. It's been great watching the TOC contenders in Saturday reruns as well. Looking forward to the TOC in November.
