"S.A." the young guy on Jeopardy last night. Have you EVER heard anyone talk so fast?

I couldn't understand what he was saying.

He spoke too quickly.

The day before, they had a woman who seemed to have a language barrier problem. She did better than I thought she would.

Maybe they are looking for a more varied group of contestants. But I think they always had that!

Jeopardy needs to be careful. Their ratings will drop if they have contestants who put off viewers.

That SA guy, who didn’t seem to have any accent, was impossible to understand because he spoke so fast.

And they abbreviate the category and the monetary value.

I too thought... why didn't the director/sound guy tell him to slow down?
