Ken is never going to lose on Jeopardy
He's the most book smart person I've ever seen. I have a feeling he'll have to quit voluntarily after about 50 wins.

2. He's a bright guy, but hey....
it's time to give somebody else a chance. I think the show made a big mistake changing the 5 wins and you go home rule. Ken is so good that few have even come close and the game turns into a yawn fest.

3. He has an advantage
since he has done quiz bowl-type shows all these years. No body beats him to the buzzer.

4. True, but he also knows 95% of the answers
His main advantage is his brain.

6. Yeah its your brother
He won ~$900,000 so far. I think he said something about changing his will, phone number and the locks on his door.

7. No, we know he's going to lose for other reasons. It's been confirmed
for some REALLY WIERD REASON, Jeopardy doesn't air the episodes until 5 MONTHS after they're taped. Everything you're seeing was filmed in Febuary and earlier. It's been confirmed in the press that at some point he does lose.

8. I think even Alex Trabek is
getting tired of having Ken on. Ken has an answer for everything. Her really is quite smart, but it is getting a tad bit annoying. Kind of like having the Yankees win every year

Well, its on in a half an hour, talk to you after the show!

:hi:

11. He does have a sense of humor
I read a quote from him. Trebek asked him how his life had changed since he won a gazillion dollars. He replied, "Well, I'm now in favor of Bush's tax cuts."

9. They may have to re-institute a limit next season.
It doesn't have to be 5; maybe 10 would work. How can they have a Tournament of Champions if there's only one champion all year? :shrug:

12. I keep hoping he'll get really ballsy and
bet it all in a final jeopardy even when he doesn't need to.

13. He just ran the first two categories
and Alex went to the commercial break and the other two contestants haven't even buzzed in yet for the first time. Ken is to Jeopardy what Tiger Woods is to golf.
