Hey everyone,
I’m not sure how many of you watch Jeopardy!, but for the past 28 (probably more…too many to count!) appearances, contestant Ken Jennings has won every day! What makes it so impressive is that he usually manages to accumulate so much money, by the time the final round comes around, his contestants have no chance of catching up to him even if they double their current winnings.
He made the cover of this site: http://www.TVGameShows.net and there a few news articles on him on Google News!
I’ve been watching Jeopardy since I was a kid…well, smaller kid…and I have never seen anybody like him. Just thought I’d share in on the excitement
Think you just missed him CG, you were playing Ethan’s “guess who I am game”…I just finished watching what might have been his 23rd win…I won’t spoil it, 'cause I know people are in different time zones
How many days now? My brother was giving me a play by play on the phone, and apparently it was almost such that both other players weren’t qualified for Final Jeopardy. That would have been awesome.
Wow - he destroyed his opponents today also and tied the all-time money earned per episode of $52,000. That’s his second time for tying the record. I think in a few more episodes he will cross the $1 million dollar mark
****, I’ve watched him twice now - he and trebek are getting to be good buddies.
That’s really impressive, it’s like questionanswerclappingquestionanswerclapquestionanswerclquestionanswer-nextcatagory!questionanswer…oh, it that it over already? my. I seem to have collected more or less the entire board now. oh well - double jeopardy!

Ok this guy may be just dam good…
Ok could he be cheating ?
It wouldn’t be the first time someone has cheated on this show…
How could he be cheating ?
Well given his job I would say he is tech savy.
One university made a mobile phone that fits into a tooth, the phone vibrates your tooth and jaw bone so that only you can hear sound.
There are lots of ways he could be doing it… Question is do you think he is ?
hm… I honestly have no idea, it’d be hard for him to, but it’s very well possible… I hate to say yeah he’s cheating, but I think I’m gonna have to, he has one almost 10 times the previous total
Actually he has about 300 grand more than the previous total, considering the old one was for 7 days, and his is 30 days. Multiplying the old one by (30/7) you get 700 grand and then some.
Can’t this guy just be really, really good at this? Doesn’t he edit test questions or something too? I hear these episodes were filmed in Feb/March, so he’s already home by now. I wonder when he’ll lose his spot.
