I've grumped a lot about all the Jeopardy specials, with the exception of the Tournament of Champions. The T of C is a truly interesting clash of top contestants. The other tournaments are just attempts to garner a few extra viewers at Nielsen's most crucial times of the year.
Not that I have anything against the brainy teenagers competing for quizzer glory on the only game show with a Peabody. Best wishes to all of 'em.
I do wonder if Jeopardy sees any real ratings benefit from the stunts. I've never noticed any particularly large bumps in the weekly household numbers when the specials air. Maybe I just don't have data that's detailed enough. The showrunners must think there's some benefit in the stunts, after all.
