Okay, his name is Stefan Goodreau, but I am loving that a long-haired, videogame testing, camp counseling Californian is on a winning streak. That’ll teach me for underestimating a guy who looks like a surfing stoner. His skin/hair combo is oddly Ken Doll-esque, though. ---

I thought he looked more like Zach from _Saved By The Bell_. ---

Oh, man, he creeps me the fuck out. Looks like some brainwashed cult member to me. ---

I think its great to have someone on who will occasionally bet more than 6 bucks on a Daily Double… He has gone all in on at least 2 DD’s since his first appearance (one he got correct, one he missed). ---

I can’t get to the TV right now. Let us know if he has a pizza delivered to the set. ---

> [@woodstockbirdybird](#): > > Oh, man, he creeps me the fuck out. Looks like some brainwashed cult member to me. It’s his eyes, isn’t it? He’s done well in some unlikely categories, judging on his appearance. Bach cantatas? It’s sweet that he donates to Locks of Love. ---

You’re all wrong. He looks like Prince Valiant. ---

I hope his reign is long because I like him. Just seems like a nice kid. Has no annoying quirks like head bobbing or pointing. And his dad was a one day winner years ago. ---

I thought Alex said that his father was on about a year ago. And in looking at the [J! Archive](http://www.j-archive.com/), there was a player on June 30 and July 1 of last year with the same last name. ---

My brother and I suggested he set up a small fan on his podium to have a constant breeze blowing his hair. 😉 EDIT: Wouldn’t that be awesome? ---

He takes wild guesses more than I do while playing at home. “Who is…King Midas!” I also like when he knows he’s wrong and just makes up something humorous. I wish more people do that. “What is…The Sound of Silence.” ---

> [@Morbo](#): > > I also like when he knows he’s wrong and just makes up something humorous. I wish more people do that. “What is…The Sound of Silence.” Yeah. Even Alex appreciated that. I missed yesterday’s show (Wednesday). The players must have been really quick. My clock said 4:56 and they were just standing around chatting. They rarely have chat time at the end. ---

I loved his bet for final jeopardy, nice to see someone playing that has some cajones. ---

> [@Tom\_Tildrum](#): > > Somebody please elaborate. I missed it. Fabio, I mean Spicoli, I mean whatever his name is, had 22K going into Final Jeopardy!. His other two opponents _each_ had 200. Yes that’s right. All three contestants (I believe) got FJ! incorrect, so the big reveal af the end was how much Fabio wagered. He wagered 20K and some change. Ending the day with 2Gs and some random change. ---

When my fiancee saw him today, he asked if they were filming on location. I said no, why? He replied “'cause how did that guy get on if they weren’t just pulling people off the beach?” Not the most articulately witty… but still funny at the moment.
