I want Colby vs Ken Jennings vs. Arthur Chu in a 3-game contest.

Arthur Chu could also be easily swapped out with Eddie Timanus.

Roger Craig was not that impressive on Tuesday. If we're looking at biggest threats to Rutter & Jennings, I'd say it's Leczek Pavlowicz and Mark Dawson.

In a reply that I can't find now Jennings was saying that he was on set during the taping of that ep and he thought for sure they would cut it. But nope. This week has already been so much better than last week's regular episodes with terrible contestants.

But I would think Alex Trebek would have his suits tailored by some old guy in the back of an exclusive shop that calls the police when a person walks in wearing less than $1,500, not by a Bangladeshi assembly line.

I saw that on The Soup and thought for sure they would show her sad state capitols interview. Thankfully someone uploaded it to Youtube:

I hope she keeps winning. She reminds me of Millie from Freaks and Geeks.

She won a bunch on Friday, and then they took a week for the tournament.

She's very good at Jeopardy and very bad at pretending to be human.

Nope, Tom Kavanaugh (who is a favorite of my mother because he's from our hometown of St Louis, we saw him at a high school trivia night--a very St Louis thing that trains you well for Jeopardy, and she thinks he's cute) said he's doing a documentary on sweatshops and the people who work there...who might have made Alex's suit.

My response was "What, you're going to do a documentary on tailors in Milan or Turin?"

I think Madden felt that he had a conflict of interest due to his work with a Quiz Bowl which works with the same auditing and compliance firm that Jeopardy does or something like that. I remember a contestant coordinator bringing it up to us when we were in the Jeopardy green room waiting for taping to start.

Madden has a professional relationship with the auditing firm that Jeopardy uses.

I love Ken Jennings so much. That mic drop was perfect. Trebek's Doughboy impression was not.

I deliver books around the Seattle area. Last year I was making a delivery to a bookstore and saw Ken Jennings leaving as I was going in. Unfortunately, while my brain did the "I recognize him" feeling, I didn't realize it was actually him until I heard the manager gushing about Ken's win streak.

Today I learned that one of the bookstores I deliver to has been purchased, and the new owner is going to have a grand reopening in the summer after the rename and remodel. The new owner? Tom Nissley!

Oh sorry I was thinking of lightsaber woman. Yes, that woman who ended last week as champ is quite the odd bird even for Jeopardy.

Btw Jennings was in top form and easily mopped the floor with his opponents. He makes it look so easy :allears:

Ken was not that impressive. His competition sucked. His Coryat score was $16,200. 7 other players in the decades tournament have topped that (India Cooper, Leczek Pawlowicz, Pam Mueller, Mark Dawson, Colby Burnett, Larissa Kelly, and of course Brad Rutter).
