Alright, I have to revisit the whole Ken Jennings thing.
First, I really like the guy. A lot of people think he looks cocky. Well to answer that- he deserves to look cocky and I honestly think he looks pretty humble.
Second, I still feel really bad for all of his opponents. There has to be some kind of psychological factor that would impact on their game playing skills just knowing how well he has done (that was a huge run on sentence with tons of grammatical errors- Strunk and White would hate me).
Third and finally, here is my prediction: Up until a short time ago there was a 5 game limit on Jeopardy. I predict that a class action lawsuit will be filed by all the 5 time winners against Jeopardy. They will contest that they all could and may have gone as far as Jennings in the game. I guess time will tell...

Posted by: peninah at July 7, 2004 12:38 PMIt seemed like a good idea, but now I'm not so sure. Realistically the only way to do it is to take the train and that's a bit pricey. Given that this isn't even a guarantee that I'll make the cut, I'll probably not do it.
The only requirement was to go to millionairetv.com and register.
