Jeopardy! Champ Under Fire for Daring to Have a Brain and Strategy

At first, I thought the most ridiculous controversy of the day was the big Seinfeld diversity fracas, but I have to take it back. The single dumbest controversy of this day, February the Fourth in the year 2014, is that people are mad at someone for daring to use his brain on a quiz show. Yes, Arthur Chu has turned into an overnight celebrity and has received a lot of flak because he had the audacity to go on a quiz show with a strategy planned out beforehand.

I don’t even… just… sigh.

What exactly did Chu do to warrant outrage for doing well on Jeopardy!? Well, believe it or not, he actually studied past games online and built a strategy based on it.

“I can understand it’s less pleasant to watch,” Chu told ABCNews.com of his tactics that utilize “game theory” economics, “but the producers weren’t paying me to make the show pleasant to watch. If you were playing for fun, you could talk about poor sportsmanship, but within the rules, it’s about winning. If you don’t like it, change the rules.”

“Who is this dude that ruins the organization of the #Jeopardy board by hunting down the Daily Doubles? You give me a headache,” one Jeopardy fan tweeted about Chu on Thursday.

Another viewer tweeted, “This is the face of a Jeopardy villain.
