SPOILER ALERT
I think that champion guy you are talking about just lost to a girl. The weird thing is that she is a sports writer, and the final jeopardy category was Sports & The Media. However, it was the easiest question ever - "Headline in this city on Feb. 8, 2010 saying Finally we have waited 43 years" or something like that. Obviously about the Super Bowl, so it was New Orleans. The champ guy guessed Chicago. The girl sports writer obviously knew and won the game.
Is it possible that the category was rigged? What are the odds?
