Did anyone catch her comments about people should be able to get by without driving?
The funny thing is, she finally got a car about a year ago. And about 2 months after that, she rear ended someone.

Jeopardy! "Super Tournament" Announced
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=367959
LOS ANGELES Dec 29, 2004 — If winning more than $2.5 million wasn't enough, "Jeopardy!" whiz Ken Jennings will have a shot at winning an additional $2 million but the competition will be tougher this time around.
Producers of the game show announced Tuesday a "Super Tournament," which will pit Jennings in a final match against two survivors of a competition between nearly 150 past five-time winners.
Host Alex Trebek called the tournament the "quest for Ken."
"Ever since Ken started his amazing run, people have been speculating on how some of the past 'Jeopardy!' players would do against him," Trebek said in a statement. "We're answering that question."
Jennings, too, was anxious about the challenge.
"I can't wait to see who I'll be up against in the finals," he said.
Jennings earned $2,520,700 after a 74-game winning streak. He was beaten by California real estate agent Nancy Zerg.
The matches will begin airing in February or March, and the finals will air in May, said "Jeopardy!" publicist Jeff Ritter.
The third-place winner will receive $250,000 and the second-place winner, $500,000.

On a unrelated Jeopardy note, the other day I saw the guy who was leading lose the game because he didn't bet enough (usually $1 more than double the person in 2nd place) in FJ. He got the question right too. Dope.

If I remember correctly from when they made the announcement, Ken won't be on this round. The top two winners of this tourney will square off against Ken come next sweeps...oh, I mean May.

Kind of cruel in some cases to show the contestants as they were when they won on Jeopardy originally, and then immediately cut to them as they are today. Like the one teen champ from 86 who had a mullet back then and absolutely nothing on top today. 
There's 144 former contestants, whittled down to 2 to face Jennings. The winner gets $2 million, I think. I'm not sure if the final will be one game or two.

I believe the final showdaow will be Ken vs the 2 remaining final champs in a 3 day tournament. BTW...they've really cranked up the difficulty of these questions, as they should. usually, My fiance and i get about 80% right during a typical show, probably around 25% on this tourney.
