Well, for the first time since last June, Ken Jennings is NOT the reigning Jeopardy champion.
While most people will say that he lost it on the final question answer: “Most of this firm’s 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year,” I say he really lost it on the two double jeopardies he missed in the second round. Had he bet zero on those two questions, he would have had over $20000 going into final Jeopardy, which would have been more than twice his competitor. But hindsight is 20/20.
I would feel bad for him, but he won $2,522,700 over 74 games (not including the loss). So I don’t.
