Jeopardy - how come Jason Zuffranieri isn't exciting fans the way

Jeopardy James did?
https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/contestant-profiles/who-jason-zuffranieri

Andy’s Thoughts:

Jason has now pulled to within $11,457 of Austin Rogers’ regular-season total, and within $30,857 of David Madden’s 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.

Good for him.He is smart,but it is not as exciting.That is why it is not being talked about.Watching James was watching a gambler!

I hope he keeps going

but doesn't give us that crazy gambler rush. His opposition hasn't been that hot either.

He's had one close game so far as I remember.

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.

that he isn't as exciting as Jeopardy James. I'm sure he's a great math teacher.

but he doesn't have a memorable personality. He seems nice though. I was actually kinda surprised when Alex mentioned his record.
