So Ken Jennings POSSIBLY Loses To A Vulcan? |
|
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 07:32 PM by Magic Rat
Is anyone watching Jeopardy right now? The woman next to Ken looks like Spock's wife. :D

4. OKAY --- FINAL JEOPARDY TIME |
|
Ken is leading the Vulcan woman by $4400.
Both of them just passed on two easy sports questions. Where do the NY Islanders and Detroit Redwings play.
Jeez, how do you pass on those???

5. Well, gosh. It doesn't come on here for another half hour. |
|
I would have preferred not seeing that he lost tonight and who the winner was before the show actually aired.

But really, this was kinda known a few months ago that he'd lose on the 75th game.

8. Not to me. I've been avoiding spoilers like the plague. |
|
I didn't mean to sound snarky, but I've avoided knowing all this time, and now watching will be somewhat of a letdown.

I think he was ready. This answer was TOO easy for him to really miss.

27. Fed Ex white collar? Seasonal? |
|
IMHO he tanked on purpose. It was enough already.

31. That's a possibility. |
|
Also, he bet a large amount of money on the last daily double. If he hadn't lost that question, he would have had another gimme game.

Yes, I lost to KJ. There are so many of us, we need a support group.

He couldn't have been nicer. And he was a little bit into being catty with me about Alex.
We filmed in August. The show that's airing now was filmed in early September. He missed the Final Jeopardy on my show, so he didn't get to 2.5 mil on my watch.
p.s. Sure, I couldn't have had an entire game about Seinfeld, noooo.

Hehe, that is neat though. I always wanted to be on Jeopardy but I've never participated in any contestant searches or anything because even though I have a good knowledge of trivia, I know I would freeze up on TV and mess up with the buzzer.
BTW I love your handle. Cheers sweetie! :P

I wasn't as nervous as I thought it would be. Sometimes when I heard the question, it didn't seem like Alex was speaking English. Luckily, you can read them easily. It's allll about the buzzer.

28. I think I know why he guessed Fed Ex... |

Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 08:09 PM by Heyo
... not that it would've been my choice.
But maybe he was thinking they hire a lot of seasonal employees for the holidays.. being a shipping company.
I mean... given this man's AMAZING record, a slip up now and then is to be forgiven, but unfortunately it happened this time in the right place at the right time to allow the Vulcan lady to win..
Oh well.. way to go, Ken, for your amazing run.. live long and prosper, homie...
:dunce:

He seemed like he was ready to go. When he missed the daily double about Bastogne that threw up a red flag.
