So how did he do when it got here to each?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, even host <a href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/ken-jennings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ken Jennings<\/a> remarked on Stephen\u2019s woes when it got here to Daily Doubles at the beginning of the present. \u201cAlthough our champion Stephen Webb is performing very well here on the <a href=\"http:\/\/tvinsider.com\/people\/alex-trebek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alex Trebek<\/a> Stage, his skill at tracking down Daily Doubles does not seem to be quite at the same level of mastery,\u201d he stated. \u201cConsider this: In his last three games, Stephen has not managed to find a single one of the Daily Doubles available. And yet, he won each of those games very convincingly, so take heart, Andrew and Sarah, he\u2019s good, he\u2019s very good, but the key to defeating him may lie in the three Daily Doubles in the game ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the newest episode grew to become the fourth straight recreation for Stephen with out discovering one.
