All three got the FJ question right. All three have around the same amount with a difference of about $2-3k... Rutter is in the lead and Ken is in 3rd. |
Ken is going to have to start doing some major wagering here, not his pansy ass wagers for Final Jeopardy he did before. He's in the big leagues now. If they keep on playing this close, it will be anybody's game come the third day.
|
Good first day,nice to see Ken have to work a little ;)
|
Besides being uber-smart, Brad's got this quick, jumpy way he rings in. At first it irritated me but it obviously works for him. Ken had better step it up or he's in deep doo-doo :D .
|
These guys are good. Evenly matched too. I was just happy that I was able to get one of the Before During & After questions - I usually struggle with Before & After questions.
|
An awful easy Final Jeopardy question for the first day of the final round.

If you knew it, it must have been. I had no clue. Never heard of the quote/expression. |

Game 2 is over. Tough game all around.
Final Jeopardy was kind of tough, with only getting it right. Spoiler:
Tune into tomorrow for the winner of the $2M. For clarification Alec made it a point to say that the winner gets $2M, second place gets $500,000 and third place gets $250,000. |

Good match and certainly alot more interesting this time around rather than watching Ken having it locked up before the 1st commercial break ;)
|
Gonna be real tough for
Spoiler:
|
Ken better get lucky tomorrow and hit on those daily doubles or other wise I don't think he will have any chance of catching up with Brad.

Brad's on fire. I knew that the FJ had something to do with the movie The Ten Commandmants, but the only name I could think of was Charleston Heston, and I knew he didn't die in 1959. :lol:
|
It seems like Ken has a dazed look to him during this tourney. It's going to have to be a Ken blowout today for him to pull out the overall victory.
|
yeah, Ken has to enter FJ with like 6k more than Brad or Brad doesn't even have to wager a dime and he'll win.
|
I think having a free pass all the way into the final hurts Ken. These guys all the know the answer to most of the questions. It all comes down to speed and whoever is lucky enough to pick the DDs.

I agree. This has been mostly a contest of timing and less about who knows more than who. I wonder why they did 3 days instead of the whole week? Would have given more of a chance to catch-up. As it is, one bad day of final jeopardy has all but eliminated the other two. |
Did Ken get a free pass? I thought I recall hearing Alex say on an episode recently that Ken had to buy his way into the tournament. Either way, I was disappointed they didn't make Ken work his ways through the ranks like everybody else.

Brad had a first round bye. Ken had a bye all the way to the Finals. |
Game over.
Here's the FJ question: These names of two original Mercury Astronauts who orbited the Earth in 1962 and 1963 are also occupations. Spoiler:
That's that. |
I got a big laugh when Ken responded correctly with "No Sleep till Brooklyn". Who knew he was a big Beastie Boys fan.
|
Ken's probably has the ringtone on his Cingular phone.
|
Too bad. I don't watch Jeopardy very often, but I was hoping Jennings would win again. The guy who won seems a bit weasely, whereas Jennings always has an "aw shucks" humility about him. He even had the class to write words of encouragement to the winner on his slate during Final Jeopardy.
|
That was just embarassing. After dominating the show for months, Ken gets his ass handed to him three consecutive games.
This Brad guy, is he a five-time champ from back when there was a limit? So, he's never lost a game? |
Ken probably would have had a better chance if he had to work his way through all the rounds that everyone else had to. He could have gotten his timing with the buzzer back.
|
Maybe Ken would have done better without being out of the loop for so long. He seems like a real momentum player. But Brad was a freaking machine, and handed Ken his ass.
|
Even when Ken was playing before, whenever they had a break, it seemed it took Ken a bit to get back into his routine, and that was up against regular players. I kinda felt sorry for him, trying to get back into his routine and find his momentum when these players already had it going, especially Brad.
I think it would be interesting to see how Brad would do on the series now without any limits of how long he can keep winning. I wonder if he could surpass Ken's record for consequtive games played? |

That was probably one of the best FJ trick questions ever. I said Carpenter and Shepard, so they suckered me in.
So who thinks Brad will be invited back to compete on regular shows to see if he can make a run at Ken's record? |
• Red Dog • So who thinks Brad will be invited back to compete on regular shows to see if he can make a run at Ken's record? das |
To me there is a difference between Ken's winnings and Brad's winnings.
Ken won $2.5M over the course of 75+ games, earning it all along the way. Brad won $155,102 in his 5-day streak, and was handed $3M for winning two tournaments. Seems a little lopsided to me. ... and for kicks: Brad in 2005 http://www.jeopardy.com/howdies/thum...tter_hO6V3.jpg Brad in 2002 http://www.tvgameshows.net/bradrutterid.jpg |
