FYI, I don't know if anybody else watches Jeopardy, but the Battle of the Decades final has Ken Jennings vs Brad Rutter lined up. The 3rd will be determined tonight (not sure if the final is tomorrow or Friday the 16th).

Ken Jennings is the most known Jeopardy player
Brad Rutter is undefeated, won the most money, and beat Ken

I'm guessing the 3rd will be this guy Colby from last season who is undefeated as well (won the teacher tourney and the tourney of champions).

It should be an epic final. Jennings and Rutter are beating everyone by $25K and Colby is no slouch.

I used to watch this non stop when I was a kid, and even trained for the teen tournament but ended out having to choose between a baseball tournament or the tryout in Nashville (at the time) and I chose the baseball tourney. Wished I'd gone to jeopardy after seeing some of the people who do make it.

Ken Jennings was one of my game show heroes, especially after the whole thing with Watson the AI

If it's like most of their tournaments, the final will be the cumulative score between Thursday and Friday. I didn't see all of last night's show, but Jennings was in legit danger going into Final Jeopardy of getting beat on Monday after the guy who finished second wagered everything on a DD and got back in the game and then Jennings wagered a bunch and missed a DD.

Also, the questions in this tournament have been exceptionally difficult. On regular episodes I'll usually know at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the answers, but there was one episode last week where I'm not sure I knew five of the questions throughout the entire game.

Rutter vs Jennings will be the ultimate clash of the titans. The third guy will be there but it will be a throwdown fro sure. I can't wait.

Oh yeah, that's right. Forgot that's how they do it.

I'm honestly thinking this Colby Burnett guy has a chance. He's definitely the underdog, but he's really good. He's also really weird and has a funny personality. I can't decide if he's a major douche or is just a nerd who lacks social skills. Either way, I like him.

Man that guy Colby bugs the hell out of me. He just does.

I used to hate Colby, but he grew on me. He's super funny. But alas, he lost.

That Roger Craig guy drives me crazy. He's smart but he rings in a lot to buy time to think of the answer and that bugs me when it's abused.

Wow, that was awesome. All hail the great one. Rutter was sure he hadn't bid enough. Beating Jennings twice cements his position as the best ever.
