Ken Jennings, a Jeopardy contestant, has just won for his 10th consecutive day bringing his combined winnings to $341,158.00. In the episodes that I've seen, he seems to get about 85% of the questions on the board and of those questions he clicks on he gets about 98% of them right. His general knowledge virtually encapsulates everything outside of sports. When he wins, he is not only winning, he is destroying the other contestants. If you have the chance to watch it's really quite amazing.
Yeah I saw him last week and then I randomly watched it yesterdy and he was still on. Unbelievably nuts! So he must have won a lot of money on the 10th show because his earnings through 9 were $291,000. It's smart of Jeopardy to change the rules to allow a winner to go as long as he can; certainly getting me as a viewer. Did the rule change have anything to do with that blind guy who won for 5 or 6 straight days a couple years back? I think that guy also had his choice of automobiles, so useful for a blind man! But yeah, you think Ken somehow cheats, but he just knows a ****load of random stuff! I was especially impressed with his knowledge of completely unknown Russian and French female literists that he named off so quickly. But he sure doesn't know a thing about cats.
Jeopardy is my all time favorite show. I WILL be on that show someda. Yeah, I saw this guy destroying the competition a few times already.
I've been watching this guy. You're right, he is destroying the field. You forgot to add that he won $50,000 today. He had $35,000 going into Final Jeopardy, and his opponents had $5,800 and $2,000. I expect this guy to start getting some national attention.
The title should have included a "Spoiler Alert". Since Jeopardy is syndicated, it comes on at all sorts of times throughout the day.
I'm sure he must use performance enhancing drugs because otherwise how could he compete at that level?
White men cant jump, good movie, i was actually thinking about that movie while i was reading this thread.
One of my friends in the Corps used to say I was the largest purveyor of useless trivia in the Southeast, while he was the same in the Great Lakes Region. We'd have these conversations "Did you know...." and after a few cruises, we assimilated the others useless trivia. Well, this guy is the grand, all-time potentate of useless trivia. He is the man who knew too much.
The funniest television episode or movie that incorporated jeapordy was when Cliff from Cheers was on jeapordy.
