The one downside to these tournament is the inevitable letdown of watching regular play afterwards.

Absolutely, which is why I watch only sporadically, unless I am alerted to potential "star" - they are relatively easy to spot.

Often it's just painful to watch them missing the obvious questions. Worse yet, many otherwise decent players have no concept of proper betting techniques, particularly in the final Jeopardy! round when it's really an elementary math. Even accounting for "the category" and "fear and greed," some of the bets make absolutely no sense whatsoever, and just make you question how a good player who, no doubt, watched many games, wouldn't spend a few minutes to master the "math of final bet" in the prep.

Spelling aside, good taste in cars.
