Guy was amazing. I tuned in a couple minutes late yesterday. Wife says, "Who's winning?"

I reply, "Well, he's at $6,400 and the other two are a combined $-1,200."

I wish he would bet a bit more. He seems to like the $30,000 mark. I can understand in the beginning, but now that he's up $450K, go ahead and bet the max you can without loosing. I want to see a $50K or $60K pay day.

I think he is being respectful to his competition. Also, he may not want to appear greedy. If he really wanted to, he could have bet it all for his Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy.
 
he could always risk upto the amount that would still allow him to win by $1. i have yet to see someone in 2nd place who would have even enough to wager to win even if they bet it all.

Has nothing to be respectful. He just knows that no single question should be worth that much unless he knows the category extremely well. Remember, when you're in the lead by that much, you know you're going to win, and the money you wager is really real money that is going to be coming out of your pockets. All Jeopardy players are like this... when they're in the lead by a good margin, and know that they're going to win, they won't take large risks any longer.

And on that note, when are they going to rename the show to "Win Ken's Money"? Give it another week or so, and that's where we'll be at.
 
The writers are probably against him trying to pick out his weak spots. Maybe they will put in somebody that already knows all the questions.
 
Jeopardy is lucky they got this guy, the only reason they got all these new fewers was because of him.

I hadnt watched the show in 10years at least, but watch it everynight now, or until this guy loses.
