In fact, Jeopardy does not guarantee you a win just because you know a lot. In particular, many upsets occur due to DD. There are cases where the team wins overwhelmingly through DD, and there are also cases where the game turns around through DD. In particular, in the case of FJ, even if they are ahead, there are many cases where they face a reversal. It is important to take into account that there are many variables in this program, and that the conditions at the time also affect wins and losses.
Through this, it can be said that it has been proven that there is no such thing as an eternal strongest player, and that winning streaks and prize money do not unconditionally guarantee victory. You don't have to go far right away, but considering that Ken Jennings is also Brad Rutter's second-in-command forever...[2]
