 12 Day Winning Streak Ends On Jeopardy Causing Controversy Over New Strategy! Jeopary champ Arthur Chu was defeated tonight after a 12 day winning streak that has made fans of the iconic show raise some eyebrows about his new strategy. After 12 wins, Chu walked away winnings $297,200. The new strategy included not picking the categories in order, but picking the categories in search for the Daily Double, throwing off his opponents off kilter for 12 days until Chu was defeated by Diana Peloquin of Ann Arbor, Mich.

Chu was entertaining and had an strategy that included an erratic approach to picking the Jeopardy categories cauing controversy. Arthur Chu, 30, was defeated in third place Wednesday night winning $0 after risking all of his money, $6,400, in the final Jeopardy round. Chu described himself as a 'mad genius, comedian, actor, and voice over artist.' He made Jeopardy host Alex Trebek laugh with his voiceovers and Trebek called his time on Jeopardy 'a great run' having no problem with the winning strategy.

Chu, with his hopscotch strategy to the Jeopardy questions, played the trivia gamemuch different that Ken Jennings, who was undefeated 74 times in a row, winning $2.5 million. Jennings picked the categories starting from the top of the list on the Jeopardy board resorting to facts over strategy. Yet Chu would search for the 'Daily Doubles' instead of playing the categories consecutively but it worked for Chu just fine winning almost $300,000.

CHu caused quite a stir. He was working on a strategy that the other opponents would tie, as described in the video above that is quite elaborate.

Well congrats to the 30 year old from Broadview Heights, Ohio who walks away with almost $300,000.The game that's been on since it  premiered on September 10, 1984 is forever changed with the new strategy that is more about picking the boxes than actually knowing the facts...so people think.
