There's this guy on Jeopardy that's been there 30 some days in a row now, and he's won over a million dollars. Everyday, when I get home from work, I have to watch Jeopardy, hoping somebody defeats him. Ironically, I happened to watch the first show he was on, after not watching Jeopardy for a long time. I proceeded to keep watching the rest of that week, and he was just blowing people away. He's still blowing people away. I'm trying to figure out if something fishy is going on...like it's all set-up so Jeopardy can get some sort of increased national exposure or something. It's working. Anybody else see this guy? He knows everything about everything.

what is "i saw him about a week ago when he was at $700,000, he was actually behind one contestant in double jeopardy, then he dominated two categories and was more than double second place in time for final jeopardy, brutal"?
the only way it could be rigged at all is if he is helping write the questions or if his buzzer is rigged to be able to buzz in faster than the other two contestants.

I thought this was going to be a complement to the q. and a. thread. I'll start:
Answer: the sweetest member of the message board. (I was going to say the message board drunken idiot but I thought that might piss people off.)
(edit: compliment -> complement) |

I'm glad you edited that Fudd. What is "horrendous spelling"?

He actually had a close call yesterday.
There was 4 answers left, and he was only leading $11,200 to $7,800, and then he got the last four right to push him over double the other contestant. I want this guy to go down.

30 days? I thought there was a point where you become a champ and qualify for the champions tournament at the end of the year. how could he have been there for 30 days?

"Ken Jennings, the whip-smart software engineer from Salt Lake City, Utah, won his 30th straight contest on the syndicated game show in an episode televised yesterday. That brought his earnings to $1,004,960."
I haven't turned on my tv since this dude took over the show, but I've heard about it
I also think it could be rigged, but I am paranoid like that...
f-ing stoner that I am

Apparently he's going for the all-time game show record.
Not only did they change the rules on the limit of appearances, but they changed all the dollar values too. Single Jeopardy is now Double Jeopardy, and Double Jeopardy is now Quadruple Jeopardy.
It's possible it could be rigged. They are receiving a lot of publicity. Not only does he know the hard ones, but he gets all the easy ones too. If it's not rigged, he's a speed reader or something, and is the first one to buzz in every single time.

My friends dad went to school with alex trebek, alex wasn't very popular, somewhat of a "know-it-all mama's boy". Apparemtly, he was beat up on a regular basis.
