PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

My Dad -- a devoted Jeopardy viewer since he retired about a year ago -- was telling me about this guy this weekend, when did they take the limit off?

12. "24 days & still winning" |
Will this guy ever lose? I wonder if the judges/writers are paying attention to what Ken's weak categories are? Then maybe have a show with all the categories they know he is not great at.

13. "RE: Fourteen-day Jeopardy champion?" |
The guy is simply amazing, but with that said, I think he'll last about 10 more days (To 34 wins in a row) before losing.He's just amazing though. The only thing I could compete with him on were the sports questions (At least I knew that Leon Goslin's nickname was Goose, and that Jeopardy is really sneaky on their clues, sure, Tug McGraw did pitch for the Mets, but his stint with the Phillies not only provided the quote that the main part of the clue, but was his more memorable stay.), and even that is close. Insanity. The fact that he could match my many years (somewhat match, I think I could beat him in a 50 question quiz thing or whatever) of sports study and he can do just as well in every other subject is astounding.

He tied it today! Alex said something like "You couldn't have bet a dollar more, could you?".

15. "When they TRULY get tired of the guy..." |
... you'll know. They'll resort to questions such as:"It's the number I'm thinking of now" Or categories that someone as smart as Ken would have no knowledge of, like: "80's Sitcom Heroines" or "Reality TV Show Contestants" 
Handcrafted by RollDdice!
(I think I could beat him in that last category  )

18. "RE: When they TRULY get tired of the guy..." |
He is weak in sports that aren't terribly recent, specifically records. He didn't get 3 of the 5 sports questions, even easy stuff such as "In May of '75, this player set the RBI record for Major League Baseball (Hank Aaron)" or "I (Eddie George) am secodn in consecutive starts at runningback behind this late, great Chicago Bear (Walter Payton. Someone said Gale Sayers, whose claim to fame is being something of the Sandy Koufax (in a sense) of the running back class), not to mention he missed a boxing question, which I didn't hear, but the answer was Rocky Marciano, so I am guessing it was "This was the only heavyweight champion to never be beaten" (or something), which was Rocky's major record.Him and I could make a super tag-team. Although anime may trip him and me up. Ken just tied the Jeopardy Single Day record with 52,000 by getting some impossible question about what was the smallest population of a G-8 country or something like that (Canada). One buck more would get the record.

25. "The KenJen drinking game" |
http://www.slate.com/id/2104085/Jeopardrink!: the KenJen Edition (credit for the name goes to Christopher Collins, a program developer in Indianapolis).
The guiding principle of the game is elegantly simple: The worse Ken does, the drunker you get. This structure satisfies both KenJen fans (who can regard their increasing inebriation as solace for their hero's downfall) and the anti-Ken contingent (who can jubilantly toast the demise of their foe). The rules combine elements from too many entries to mention them all, but you know who you are.
1) If KenJen misses a question, everybody drinks once. If one of his opponents gets that same question right, drink again. 2) If KenJen misses a Daily Double, drink twice. 3) Responding to clues during regular play is optional (though who can resist shouting out the ones you know?), but Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy can be used as occasions for competitive drinking. When Daily Doubles come up, each player shouts out his or her answer, and whoever misses (or of course, forgets to phrase her response in the form of a question) must take another swig. During the commercial before Final Jeopardy, drinks may be wagered on the outcome: "U.S. Presidents? I'll take that for three." If you're right, you get to make your opponents take three drinks; if you're wrong, take them yourself. 4) Finally, a few "Hi, Bob!"-style rules to keep everyone on their toes and celebrate the quirks that make KenJen so lovable or loathsome, depending on your point of view. Everybody drinks once whenever: a) Alex Trebek mentions Ken's affiliation with the Mormon church; b) KenJen's answer ends with a stylistic flourish, like last night's, "What are the munchies, man?" in response to a clue about an 8-letter word for "hunger pangs"; c) The banter between Alex and Ken becomes disturbingly intimate. A few nights ago, one of KenJen's victims mentioned in the chat segment that if he beat the champ that night, he planned to get a tattoo of Alex Trebek in celebration. This anecdote inspired an odd KenJen riff about having 30-odd tattoos of Alex all over his body, one for each night of his winning streak thus far. A mental image like that one is definitely an excuse for a drink. Finally, as Steven Reynolds, a technical writer from Cohasset, Mass., writes, "Something special needs to be in place for whenever Ken is finally defeated. I think either a bottle of the finest champagne for a quiet and modest celebration of this greatest of Jeopardy! champions ... or maybe a few bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 to wash away the sorrow that comes with the prospect of Jeopardy! without Mr. Jennings." There are only four games remaining until the season ender this Friday, when we find out whether KenJen will make the jump to come back as next season's returning champion. So stock up on Potent Potables, and remember: Always Jeopardrink! responsibly. Thanks for playing!

28. "Spoiler warning" |

. Jennings won again today. He also (finally) broke the 1 day record, winning $75,000! The final Jeopard question (which I answered correctly, unlike 2 of the 3 contestants) was to name 2 of the 4 Shakespeare plays in which ghosts appear on stage. (I knew Macbeth, Hamlet, and Julius Ceasar. I missed Richard III, but you only needed to list two.) So, he's coming back again next season.

Thought Trebeck was gonna wet himself when Jennings finally broke the record.
