Jeopardy! contestant's head-game tactics

Arthur Chu uses strategies that outrage some home viewers:

"He has two ways of boosting his odds of success: searching for the Daily Doubles and eliminating them from the board, even if he knows he’s not going to guess it right, just to make sure his opponents can’t get ahead of him; and being careful when he bets on the Final Jeopardy, so for example, he takes the chance that he will tie with the second place winner.

...Chu joined CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday to reveal his secret, unorthodox, unconventional methods: “The very first thing I did when I got the call to be on Jeopardy! was I sat down in front of my computer and Googled ‘Jeopardy strategy.’”"

I'll take fake scandals for 1,000, Alex

Or perhaps, "Speedbumps" for 1,000, Alex.

I cannot find the Jeopardy category, but the actual  $1,000 Jeopardy! answer was:

"The city in which Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed."

And the question, of course, was "What is Benghazi?"

In which we see how quickly on ABC controversy damaging to Party goes from National scandal to $1,000 trivia question. Credit to them for mentioning it at all, a first for some of their viewers.
