Again I find it interesting as Jeopardy has long been accused of having topics and questions skewed towards men. "Amy" just seems to reaffirm that. What's somewhat amusing is that no one on the show seems to mention that "she" is a HE.

Press Your Luck was awesome back in the day...

Please explain how gender gives one an advantage on a quiz game show.

Why don't you ask your fellow liberals this question. They are the ones claiming things like the SAT are biased against women. Pretty much the same thing as a quiz show.

I remember the contestant on "Press Your Luck"who kept winning and winning and winning much to the dismay of the host and others. Producers were scrambling to figure out what was going on. Seems that the guy ( I think he was a real guy) had noticed a pattern in the game, taped it and memorized what he needed to know to keep from getting a whammy. He finally stopped himself. He broke no rules or laws and they had to pay him. The producers went to work and re-booted the game with infinite sequences to make it impossible to repeat his feat.
