He already has his money from last season correct? Does he get the money in one nice lump sum?

Close game. I like the way that the players are making them "true daily doubles" and betting the wad in Final Jepardy.

Looks like Ken needs to find his groove again. It wasn't till the end of Double Jepardy that he was buzzing in on every question.

And I laughed during Final Jepardy, Ken was shifting his body back and forth while thinking, and it looked like he was trying to peak at his neighbour's answer.

What amazes me is that by now, Ken's opponents must know who he is and how difficult he is to beat. That's got to be more intimidating as an opponent when you know how good he is.

Like i've been saying for a long time now, they should make an all sports theme for Jeopardy one day, and then this guy will lose, his sports knowledge is weak.

Crocker, I'd like to buy an "o"

i don't think they want to get rid of him... their ratings have never been better

What happened today?

I also wondered if he wanted to be there anymore. But, Holy Gee, wouldn't you want to stick around as long as you could at a place where you can make $40,000.00 or so every 30 minutes? He may be cracking under the pressure, but if I were him, I would figure out a way to pull it together, because this is the best thing that will ever happen to him.

i just bumped the other thread before noticing this one

now someone post a spoiler for today's show!

I got it TiVo'ed. If I get to it soon, I'll post one.

The Vice President admitting to padding his post count?

Oh!

What if the Meredith comment on the View was just a way to get people to watch? Ratings may be slipping a bit because people may be getting annoyed by Ken, or they just think he will win so what's the big deal if they miss a few episodes here or there? Rumors about him losing flew around last year too, and he's still hanging around. Maybe somebody planted the rumor in Meredith's ear to get her to say something on TV to generate interest, not to actually spoil what might happen in the show soon?

Didn't any of these people see Fairy Tale: A True Story? (with Harvey Keithel as Harry Houdini.

Major Spoiler??? (rumor)





edit:


Anyone else hear this?

Not necessarily. I was listening to a local morning radio program this morning, and they had one of the local TV meteorologists (who was a contestant on the NBC version of Weakest Link during its run) on, discussing Ken. He made a point that, at least when he was on WL a few years ago, a show's producers had up to 60 days after your episodes air to pay you - meaning J! has up to 60 days after the airing of Ken's last episode before they legally have to give him a dime of his winnings. That's just from one "source," so don't take it to be the final word on the matter, but rather just an FYI.

There is another interesting tidbit that he shared - that surprised me. Here in CT, during Ken's run, Jeopardy! has been, locally, the highest-rated show, period! Not just for its time slot, but it has been the highest-rated show for daytime, afternoon, evening, primetime, late night, news shows, etc. - out of all the shows that aired on the CT stations, it has been the highest-rated (granted, most of his run was during the summer TV doldrums, but still). I think that's probably accurate since the meteorologist works for the local ABC affiliate, which airs the show - so he would probably be privy to that info.

Source?

We need to merge these two threads! I posted the same thing in the other thread.
