If we have a Rutter/Jennings/Burnett finale I might die of happiness.

Tonight's game was awesome - just as a viewer it was really hard to follow at times when they were jumping from one category to another - I'm sure it's a really disconcerting strategy as a player.zakharov posted:NEXT WEEK....ON JEOPARDY Those are 3 insanely stacked match-ups. Just think - we're about to get one full week of the most brilliant champions in jeopardy history, that's pretty awesome. And Ken's going to have to deal with a board jumper... wonder if it will give him Watson flashbacks.

Correct, it's a two day total point final. Fun fact: to win a Jeopardy tournament, you only technically have to win one game (the semifinal).

Well, Chuck made KenJen sweat at the end there, but we all saw what makes Ken special. I got FJ immediately and I thought it was pretty easy for a tournament level clue. How did others feel? I assume there were some weird editing shenanigans for players that good to run out of time in the second round.

Wanting to spend his winnings on a second Porsche. I didn't think I could hate Rutter more, but here we are.

Welp, Brad Rutter ran away with this one. Still, him missing the second Daily Double in Double Jeopardy was pretty funny.

Congrats to Tom and Lezsek for getting Ruttered. At least I can console myself that I got a DD that Brad didn't. I had Fahd for FJ. Nope.

They should have had to be more specific on final jeopardy. An idiot like me guessed saddamm hussein and if I had just wrote Hussein I would have gotten it correct.

If someone managed to think Saddam Hussein made any sense as an answer and then wrote "Hussein I" to refer to Saddam Hussein then congratulations to them for being lucky, but I don't think anyone playing in a tournament of champions game is going to do that.

You don't have to spoiler tag in this thread. Not Roger's strongest game, but enough to win. Too bad Colby didn't know his Canadian geography. I actually got this one right with 5 seconds to go - I seem to be a savant for tournament Final Jeopardies. I am amazingly pumped for the next two days, although I honestly think Brad is going to win.

His performance on Tuesday was completely ridiculous for a tournament game. It's going to take a board that suits Ken or some really gutsy DD wagering from Roger to make it interesting I think.

Brad's one flaw thus far is that he's seemed a hair slow on the buzzer. Dan was routinely beating him.

zVxTeflon posted:Roger Yeah, it's going to be tough for him to win this tournament, unless he wins big tomorrow. At least for him both Ken and Brad missed the Final, so they won't be bringing huge amounts into next game. Though they still go decent scores, so those leads may be insurmountable unless he plays really drat well. Ken needling Roger to do the true Daily Double at the end there was funny though. Craig blowing it and him laughing afterwards at it just added to his misery there... GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 00:51 on May 16, 2014 |

Ken Jennings trolled Roger into betting the house and losing it all. That is simply tremendous. Hilarious and basically eliminates half his competition. Roger did deserve better - he played really well today overall. I really have no prediction for tomorrow. Either Brad's buzzing precision is off or Ken has improved his skills since the last time they met. Since they seem to have about the same knowledge base, it feels like a total coin flip to see who wins.

Am I the only one who can't stand Roger? He's even worse than Rutter IMO. At least Rutter doesn't go, "Oh, yes, of course, I totally actually knew that" like a loving tool every time Alex gives the answer to the question he got wrong.
