    They had to let someone win US$1 million to compete with the big prize shows, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, etc.

    I watched the episode where he won for the 28th time the other day. This guy if frickin amazing, and destroys the competition. He probably answered 95% of the questions on the board. I guess he also has a quick trigger finger.

    I've also been thinking about Quiz Show, and how this could all be a farce. I mean, it seems a little strange that only last fall Jeopardy announces that a winner can play until he is beaten...and now all of a sudden we have a Jeopardy superstar who can't lose, and he's all over the news, generating buzz for the show.

    If he's for real though I don't see this guy losing anytime soon. I wonder what would happen if he just kept going and going and going. It would become his job I guess. The little podium would be his office.

    they have to draw the line at some point, like hire a super genious to dethrone him, then lose on purpose, eventually people will get bored because they already know the outcome.

    I feel bad for this guy. I mean people can go on who wants to be a millionaire and answer questions like:

    "When Michael was 8 years old, he learned how to ride his bike on the sidewalk without training wheels. WHERE did he ride?"

    A. On the sidewalk
    B. Fido
    C. What was the question?
    D. Regis do you really think I am an idiot?






    Meanwhile Ken Jennings is tearing up every single game.

    I don't think it's rigged, it's just the logical outcome of the rule change; I'd be willing to bet that most of the past 5-day champions could have had a similar streak had they not been cut off.

    What I'd like to see is them call back some of the 5-day champs to go head-to-head with this guy. Then we'd see if it's all a fix.
