Has anyone ever seen this lopsided of a game going into final Jeopardy?

I am watching Jeopardy and the leader had $22,800. The other two contestants had $200 each. I could not imagine having to stand up there getting my azz handed to me like that. I had seen this guy before and he is good but damn.Has anyone ever seen this lopsided of a game going into final Jeopardy?
1) He is not an idiot. He had to pass an extremely difficult 50 question test to get on the show, AND manage to look good during the audition, AND keep a cool head without being affected by the lights and the set and the pressure, AND buzz in faster than his opponents who have also passed the same difficult test, AND be able to answer the clue in a matter of seconds. And he had to keep doing this enough times to get $22,800. An idiot could not do any of this.



2) He's going to win anyways, unless he makes an idiotic wager, which he will not do since it has been established that he is not an idiot. He's already won some money from his last game, and he is going to come back tomorrow, so why not bet big? Even if he loses $20,000, he will still have $2,800 and the best his opponents can do is double their score to $400. He still wins the game and gets to play again tomorrow to win even more money. It was an optional risk he was willing to take, and just because he didn't break the bank doesn't mean he didn't play well.Has anyone ever seen this lopsided of a game going into final Jeopardy?
