The wait for more of Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time is finally over on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, with James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter going back to battle for the GOAT title in primetime for a fourth time.
When we last left these three, Jennings went up on his opponents with two wins to Holzhauer’s one. That meant Jennings could clinch on Tuesday night and end the thrilling tournament that’s captured the nation.
As much as that would be cool, it would mean we would have only gotten four days of Jeopardy! GOAT out of a possible seven.
Which means … it’s time to root for Rutter. A lot of fans already feel bad for the guy after watching Holzhauer and Jennings completely dominate and seeing Rutter miss a bunch of Daily Doubles … but let’s all remember he’s won nearly $5 million from Jeopardy! over the years and will cash in for another $250,000 when all is said and done.
Watching these Jeopardy matches is so intense. And I wanna just fully feel the suspense and awe. But I can't because I just feel so bad for Brad.

@Jeopardy I’m rooting for Brad to comeback in #JeopardyGOAT

I feel bad because Brad is struggling but I feel like he is the most relatable contestant and he wrote “Eagles Super Bowl LII Champs” as his final Jeopardy answer and then said “Go Birds” so therefore he is actually the winner #JeopardyGOAT #FlyEaglesFly

I’m really starting to feel bad for Brad on Jeopardy’s Greatest of All-Time tournament. Dude just stood there while James and Ken answered everything.

Rutter has finished in third on all three days, and the ideal scenario would be watching him come back and win a couple, for Holzhauer to claim victory on another night, and for all of us to get our popcorn for an all-out wild Game 7 of epic proportions.
So COME ON BRAD YOU CAN DO IT!
