[B17a]

Well I've seen the rumours for a few months now, check out this audio clip, pretty convincing stuff!

Awesome, the Mormon church will not be happy but I will!

[B17a]

Its too bad in a way, I loved watching this uber-geek crush all his opponents, but at the same time, never hurts to get some new blood on the show. I'd like to see him in the Tournament of Champions against the best of the best.

[FiveFreshFish]

The audio clip says it all! I'll definitely have to catch Jeopardy tomorrow.

[szw]

He is a god among men

[B17a]

The crowd gasping when he answers final jeopardy wrong is the best.

[Zero102]

Well, that's enough to make me watch it tonight...

What time's it on anyway?

Rumour has it he blew one or both of the double jeopardys' and with big coin as well which put him in a bad spot going into final jeopardy.

[ricosuave]

maybe its for the best - its been hard to watch the trebek/jennings banter...

trebek can be a real prick when he wants to be

[V6-BoI]

Heh so he finally loses eh? What time is jeopardy on?

he blew both the double jeopardy's and the final jeopardy...

[V6-BoI]

Heh didn't read B17a's post above. Just finished watching, heh man when Ken that question wrong the whole audience was like "OOOHHHHHH!"

[Shaolin]

so he basically lost it himself and not because the other guy was super smart?

[D'z Nutz]

Oh man, that sucks. She didn't win because she was a genius, she won because he got nailed on the two double and final jeopardies. There were a LOT of other contestants that gave him a run for his money and she wasn't one of them. Very doubtful she'll win the next game.

[djayz]

yah lady wasnt that smart just got final jeopardy right and he got it wrong

plus he wasnt so far ahead that even if he didnt bet n e thing he wouldve won. only had a lead of 4400 before going into final jeopardy.

ohh well he made enough money plus i still think it was a setup, but i guess we will see when it comes to the championship game.

[Strider]

just finished watching it...

stupid bets on the daily doubles...
I can't believe he didn't get the final jeopardy though... even i guessed that.


that woman won't win her next game.

[kenny]

I'm surprised he didn't know the answer to the Final Jeopardy... I was thinking along the lines of tax or accounting firms to do year end shit for big firms, but couldn't think of any companies.

But FEDEX??? lol

:rofl:

[D'z Nutz]

You never know... Maybe he ordered something 8 months ago and he's still waiting for it! :rofl:

[sputnik]

My guess is that he threw it... he got his $2.5M and had enough.

[QuasarCav]

Ohhh that felt good. A guy like that losing on such an easy question.... something is up.

[/////AMG]

What a farce, he started to win and the ratings sky rocketed. Nobody could possibly have known as many answers as he did. The network fed him the answers and the press assured that the ratings would go higher and higher. They had to end it because a lot of people were getting suspicious. I feel that the show has been rigged for a long time. They paid him off, and fed him questions all in the name of ratings.

This whole event was just a crock of $hit - SpinMaster (http://www.mbcanada.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5333&hl=)

I agree, plus here the latest CNN article.

I didn't realize they tape up to 3 shows in a day, can you imagine how taxing (haha no pun intended (H&R Block)!) that must be. It'd almost be like writing 3 exams in a day, mentally draining, even more impressive now are his wins.

[rage2]

It's only mentally draining if you don't know your shit!

Now if only I had a chance to make $25k/day reciting the useless trivia that I currently irritate my friends with.

[D'z Nutz]

Man, the lady that "beat" Ken Jennings came in last place today. How sad.

[thinmyster]

its probably a huge scam to get h&R block's name out there for him to lose on such a simple question !!!conspiracy!!!!:thumbsup:

[BigDannyCool]

all the shows were pre recorded...i found out couple months ago that he made 75 shows... the info was leaked out

Yeah no shit.. he lost a couple months ago or something its just that it doesn't air right away.. you think survivor is live? lol :nut:

[Khyron]

He's in a new tax bracket now, and H&R Block is making sure he'll always remember the company for other reasons: It has offered him free tax preparation for life.

Can't pay for advertising that good. :D
