    Jeopardy Phenom

    I don't normally watch this show, but WOW! This guy Ken Jennings has won 28 days straight. With winnings of over 900,000 dollars. Personally I think this is all a ploy to pick up ratings on the show. What do you guys think?

    Not for ratings IMO...
    He's just well-rounded, and lucky...
    (after all, I taught him everything he knows )....

    It could be all set up like that show in the 50's where the guy had the answers to the questions BEFOREHAND

    Nothing to do with luck he always smokes his competition. They don't even have a chance when it goes to final Jepordy. The guy might be a dork but a dork with almost a million.

    It's all about pressing the **** button. That's what's so impressive; he's very well-rounded, but he also rings in before anyone else

    Excellent point...

    Einy... remember the blind fellow who won for a week straight?
    Did he have the catergoris in brail in front of him, with the remaining values... or did he select from memory...

    That was my fave week watching the show, he was extremely intelligent, and made up for his poor eyes with insight becoming of an apostle...

    The guys a ****ing genius. I think after they realized how good he was, they also realized the oppurtunity that they had to boost their ratings.

    This is a huge part of it, you can see the other contestants jamming on the button all angry as he answers the question. The longer he is on, the better he gets at hitting the button, its a snowball effect and yes he is a genious too, I say its real.

    That dude, geek or not, is putting everyone to shame.......E's right, it's all about how fast you ring in. Been plenty of smart people who never could win cause they couldn't ring in fast enough.

    No the last show I saw the other contestants finished in the negative. I saw him on a Tv show this morning and he says he "reads alot"
    Shi t I read alot and am no where near this guys level. If it's not a ploy he's a freaking genius and should make alot more money than that outside of tv land.

    Sean Connery: I'll take famous Buns for $900.

    Alex Trebek:
    That's Famous Bonds not "Buns". And the answer is, "This actor starred in the 1986 Bond Film, "The Living Daylights." (Connery buzzes in) Mr. Connery.

    Sean Connery: Jennifer Lopez.

    Alex Trebek: its not famous buns, Mr. Connery. Unfortunately the board is still yours.

    Let's just take a look at the board. And the categories are: "Potent Potables"; "Foreign Flicks"; "Things Trebek Sucks"-wait! [ Connery is laughing. ] All right. [ Trebek walks over and takes down the hand-written "Things Trebek Sucks" sign. ] Let's continue..."Potpourri"; "Hot or Cold"; "What Ears Do"; "Is This A Hat"-that's where I name and object, and you tell whether or not it's a hat. And finally, "Colors That End In Urple".

    God I love those Celebrity Jeopardy spoofs!


    Sean Connery: Suprise me, you filthy bastard!

    Alex Trebek: Okay, that's completely unnecessary. Months That Start With Feb for $800. This is the only month that starts with Feb. [ Sean Connery buzzes in ] Mr. Connery?

    Sean Connery: Febtober!

    Alex Trebek: I hate you! The answer was February. That's the month that starts with Feb. It was last month!

    Sean Connery: Aha! A trick question!

    Alex Trebek: Yeah, it was a trick question, Mr. Connery. Why don't you pick a category?

    Sean Connery: I've got to ask you about the Penis Mightier.

    Alex Trebek: What? No. No, no, that is The Pen is Mightier.

    Sean Connery: Gussy it up however you want, Trebek. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?


    He he he

    And then there is the Anal Bum Cover
