okay....has anyone been watchin' lately as this guy Ken Jennings just destroys all his competition??? he has won over a million now and is like a 35 day champ (and rising)....
I don't know about you peeps, but I smell "Quiz Show 2".......remember the first movie about the scandal back in the 50's, where a guy figures out that the game shows are fixed?
Come on...they have to be feeding the guy the answers....it's all for ratings i think........
-
I've been watching the seemingly unstoppable Ken Jennings on Jeopardy.... I don't think it is fixed, because it seems like Alex trebek gets more flustered everyday. At first, this guy made me watch jeopardy again, but now I find it so boring, because I just know he's going to win. I respect his intelligence but come on, can't anyone beat him?

eh...it's all an act by Trebek.....he's in on it....it's all just a big fascade (and no...i have no idea how to spell fascade)

I remember some report a couple years ago that jeopardy was rigged. And I do think this whole thing has become a ratings sweep. They had a story on AOL about how their ratings have soared since he started hitting the big bucks, plus they used to have a 5 day limit, and it was soo often that anyone would win 5 in a row!
I have, however, watched jeopary since, well, all my life. dale's a real freak about it and makes us all watch. :roll:

I must admit, I am a little suspicious of Ken Jennings' background or his least explanation of it.
He claims he's a "software engineer," however he has at some point on the show made comments about how he's a "computer engineer"...no big deal right? WRONG. Those 2 fields are very different.. I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science and software engineering and computer engineering are 2 separate career & educational paths.
Another thing concerns me..his "education"..I read an article where it mentions how he majored in english lit (or a related field), yet it mentions no further education...usually to become a "Software or comnputer engineer" you need to obtain a degree from an accredited instiution.
Albeit, perhaps he got into the field during the dotcom explosion but it still rubs me the wrong way.
*cue X-files music* The truth is out there...

I've hated him since . . . forever. Ask anyone.

i've only seen a few episodes with him, and he really seems like a cocky prick........
-
i don't mind him at all.
and i really doubt that the whole thing's a scandal.
i highly doubt it.
i'm sure it's been looked into because you've got all these people saying "ahhh it's impossible. he can't be THAT smart"
it's quite unbelievable his intelligence but im pretty sure it's the real deal.
nevertheless,
i respect him
i don't perceive him to be cocky at all.
-
i disagree....he come's off extremely cocky, especially since he went over the million dollar mark.....
AND WHY WHY WHY WHY MUST HE ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THE SAME WAY....LIKE HE'S QUESTIONING HIMSELF...........EVERY TIME.....it's annoying and I can't wait for him to lose.....

I'll bring up Conan's joke about him - paraphrased:
"Recently Jeopardy game show extrodinar Ken Jennings won over 1 million dollars and over 30 episodes of jeopardy. In a recent interview when someone mentioned Alex Trebek he quickly responded, 'who is my bitch'?"
HAHAHAHAH yeah.

-
I saw him last night, I think it was him.. 8O
-
i wonder how his winning streak ends.. (jeopardy is recorded earlier in the year)
i've heard it does end
but how?
i have a funny feeling he resigns or something.
i doubt that somebody beat him.
-
I hope somebody beats that bitch in the end. He's a fucking nerd.
-
ya gotta love maturity!

That girls insane, truely, you have to ignore her.
Anyways...I figured it out last night.
They've been on some 20 years or something? Alex Trebek has been the host the whole time...This guys gonna break the record, win a couple more, Alex Trebek will quit or retire whatever, and bam Ken Jennings new host of Jeopardy!

God I hope not.......... :headshake:

thats a theory. I just can't stand the guy anymore. He just bugs me to death. Oh look, he wins again. I just hope what Blake said doesn't happen. ... actually, that would be kinda funny.
-
As far as this dude. He should have just went on Millionaire and won it in one day maybe two pending air time. The questions are usually easier and you get 3 life lines.
-
so he went over the $52,000 (im pretty sure it was $52,000) record for daily winnings.
$75,000.. is what he won .. i heard..
that is amazing

holy shit...Jennings finally lost
i barely ever watch the show...but I had been hearing all day today that he may finally lose because he'll be on Leterman (or Leno?) tonight...
so I watched it...and he lost...
and I stand firm...this show was rigged
-
meh, and I missed it because I was in class, oh well.
-
If only he'd let someone else do his tax returns.... :?
It's amazing how you can miss out on something! 8)
