dontagreeljefe Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Should someone be allowed to win on jeopardy more than 5 times in a row. One guy has one 29 times in a row. Makes it exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest enlightenme Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Well, considering they rule WAS only 5 times. I think it is cool to see Ken Jennings winning... and I am sure that they are waiting to see how much longer he will last.... I think is all goood.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr2 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 The problem with the guy who has won so many times in a row is that he has experience, wheras the people he's playing against do not. They are more nervous, and know they are competing against somebody who has obviously mastered the game. That's why I've always liked the times where they bring back the winners. But hey, this guy is cleaning up. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest enlightenme Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 He should hit 1 million dollars this week. He is at $930,000 plus right now, and if he keeps on track like he has possible by the end of tuesday........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Well he's almost at a million. Today's final Jeopardy was "His name in the Bible means 'strives with God.'" Like he was going to get it wrong... the other 2 did though, as did I. I said "Jacob" At least I was 50% right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liahonagirl Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I thought of Jacob too, especially with the obvious reference to the "Jacob's Ladder Dream" . . . but then I remembered that Jacob meant "supplanter" and then realised it might just be referring to Israel . . . I felt smart for once in my silly little life when I found out I was right! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "Jacob" At least I was 50% right. That's funny...I was yelling 'Jacob' at the screen too. I wondered if they thought we'll throw a Bible question in so the Mormon won't get it. The other two weren't even close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessa8223 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 To answer the first question, yes I believe people should be able to win more than five times. If they have the intelligence, they shouldn't be limited. It almost makes it more exciting to see how long the guy can last. Him being Mormon is just a bonus!!

Snow Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well he won again tonight. I was at our Corp offices and walking past someone's cubicle they asked me if I had seen the guy on Jeopardy. I said "the geeky Mormon guy?" Then she sheepishly said that he reminded her of me. I said, yea, there's a bunch of us like that, it's kind of a thing...

Tr2 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I find it so interesting the support this guy is getting from the mormon world. His winning has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he is mormon, it is simply because he is a smart person. But how most mormons seem to be getting behind him... it's admirable.

Whenever a black person does well do you see a rising of the NAACP? The only reason most people on this board care anything about this guy is because he is mormon and this looks good for your church.

porterrockwell Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I think God is playing Jeopordy through him(hahahahahahahahah....I am so Joking and trust me, my lightning rod is up). That's it, that's how we can settle the truth of Religion, a Jeopordy Showdown between Pres. Hinckley, whatever old fogy they have in as pope now, and the schlepp that is running the circus that is CoC(Crock o' Crap). Course, everyone would call Pres. Hinckley a cheater because all the answers would be coming via inspiration from a perfect being. That is the other thing, Jeopordy wouldn't be that fun beyond the vail. EVERYONE KNOWS THE FREAKIN ANSWERS!!! Keep on truckin Ken, and yes I am all for this guy never losing BECAUSE he is mormon and he has whooped some Catholic *** while he has been on there. If the producers of Jeopordy want to see Ken get beat, bring a Jew on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting observation. Even more interesting is that I, for example, root for the Utah Jazz. Always - even when playing against Karl Malone and the Lakers. Why? I don't know - I've just always rooted for them. Their roster no longer includes John Stockton or Karl Malone or anybody else from years past (except for that lazy slacker Greg Ostertag) but their my favorite team.

I'm cheering him on because I think he has a lovely brain and he seems like a nice guy. As Snow can attest to "it pays to be a nerd" (or is that geek - I've heard there is a difference). M.

Does anybody even know what Trident's post means?Maybe the reason the white supremacist aren't cheering for him is because he is not a white supremacist, HELLO.But now you've gots me ta wundring... how do you know what the white supremacists are cheering for these days?
