(182,830 posts)Do we know why Troy is sitting down. I understand hes 6 8. Is that it.
Ben Chan seems the most entertaining to me. Troy is really smart. Its like hes taking it easy in the first round and then pours it on in Double Jeopardy.

(2,220 posts)and I strongly suspect he has Marfan's syndrome, a genetic disorder. He is extremely tall, has very large bones, big hands, and heart problems often occur with this disorder. It was suspected Abe Lincoln had it.
Marfan syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects connective tissue the fibers that support and anchor organs and other structures in the body. It affects the heart, eyes, blood vessels and bones.
People with the syndrome are usually tall and thin with long arms, legs, fingers and toes.
Treatment includes medicines to keep blood pressure low, eyeglasses or contact lenses, and surgery.
I just hope he stays healthy long enough to WIN. He seems to be having a few issues right now.
