THE WINNER SPEAKS
Jeopardy! Masters star James Holzhauer has shared his true feelings for his rival after Andrew’s shocking defeat.
Despite his villain status on the show, James had some kind words for his competitor.
He tweeted: “Facing a murderer’s row of opponents, Andrew was the only player not to finish last in any first-round match.”
“He played with determination and guts, but most amazingly he wore a baseball cap when we went out to eat and somehow his hair looked like this mere hours later,” he added, alongside a snap of Andrew with perfectly groomed hair.
The TV star added: “I’ll always remember the big smile on Andrew’s face whenever anyone asked about his newborn son, who arrived in the middle of our taping schedule.
“It’s clear he’ll be even more impressive at parenting than he is at Jeopardy, which is saying a lot.”
Fans were shocked at James’ sweet words, with one commenting: “James, you’re tarnishing your villain vibes here…”
Another added: “The sportsmanship between all of the competitors makes me smile. Excellent example.
“You’re all fighting to win, and it’s all smiles and respect regardless of the outcome.”
