Andys Thoughts:
Jason has now pulled to within $11,457 of Austin Rogers regular-season total, and within $30,857 of David Maddens regular-season total.
Jason has also passed Arthur Chu for 16th on the all-time winnings list. Colby Burnett is 15th at $408,333.
Jason has also passed Arthur Chu for 10th in terms of number of correct responses given on the show. Austin Rogers sits 9th at 424.

Wait a couple of weeks - if he's still around people will be talking.
Plus coming so quickly after Jeopardy James he seems less sparkly.
