Did anyone see Jeopardy tonight?
I missed it. Did Ken, the guy that's won that last 11 days, win again?

PS Yes, I know I'm a geek :-)

3. Yes, he won about 30K tonight.
That brings the total to around 410K. What impresses me about him is his range of knowledge. Pop music, sports, classic lit, languages. He is showing no sign of slowing down.

4. I thought he was kind of slipping tonight
Missed some. I bet he's tired. How many do they film in a day?

5. He won $34,000 but missed quite a few
Including Final Jeopardy, not even close but wagered only $3000.

I had no idea this guy was on a streak until they showed the 12-day net at show's end. He seems to have remarkable timing with the buzzer, first almost every time even though I notice the others trying to ring in also.

11. I think they tape 5 episodes a day
So looks like he's working on his 3rd day now...funny thing is that Alex is running out of those personal questions they during the break in the round!

6. What happened to retiring repeat winners after 5 days?
Is the new rule they are done whenever they lose? I haven't watched Jeopardy on a regular basis in quite a while.

10. Smartest Guy I've Ever Seen On Jeopardy
His breadth of knowledge is most impressive and he's very quick, too! He has stomped every opponent so far. Not just beat them, but mashed them good. He hasn't had the possibility of losing in Final Jeopardy yet. Twelve days in a row, he had a lead so large it couldn't be taken away!

Pretty good stuff, Ken.
The Professor
