"Jeopardy!" watchers: question about last night's episode.
During Double Jeopardy, that John guy (the man with the gray Donahue hair) had $4000 taken away from him after he allegedy said "ashran" instead of "ashram" for one of his responses. He was noticeably bitter. Seems after that happened, the rest of the episode was heavily edited, even to a point where he clicked on his response button, and the show immediately cut to Alex saying, "Sorry, that's incorrect." Anyone else notice this? My guess is the guy seriously lost his temper after losing all that money.

1. I saw that.
John was PISSED. Anyone could see that. And $4K is a LOT of money. I'm with you...I think he lost his temper (you could almost see it coming). I think they probably did do an edit job with that incident.

2. I wasn't paying enough attention.
I heard that incorrect answer, but don't know what happened after that. All I saw after that was that he wasn't around for Final Jeopardy.

3. He wound up in the hole,
but before that, everything was coppy, quite literally to the point where the camera showed him pressing the response button, then immediately cutting to Alex telling him he was wrong. Something tells me he made a snarky comment.
