Going into Final Jeopardy, it wasn't even close. Something like $10,000 (Ken) vs. ~$26,000 (Brad).
 
Brad had a lock on the game before the Final Jeopardy, the questions for the final championship were significantly harder than earlier rounds and regular season, Brad not only rang in faster but knew a lot more.
 
Amazing, im blown away, this guy is from Lancaster too right near where I live.. had NO idea he was that good, I freakin' bowed to KenJen when he was on his streak, but now my diety beliefs are somewhat skewed. :x

Ken Jennings was good at buzzing in. He figured out the timing on buzzing in, which is key. He was smart too on mundane day to day trivia, but not on the erudite type stuff they asked in the Tournament of Champs.
 
Some of the questions were extremely hard in that TOC. I knew it'd be a long shot for Jennings to win...though he still won 500k which is a nice wad of cash for only having to show up for 3 days. And anyways, his total winnings are still more than Brad's. 🙂

No, Brad has like $3.2 million in total earnings. Ken only has $3.1 million. 😉

I didn't see the episode, but that guy is fvcking weird. He's always nervous as fsck, and soaking with sweat. When Alex Trebek interviews people after the first break, he has really odd anecdotes.
 
jennings was not really as hungry for it as he was the last time he was on the show.

he did not need to be... he is already a multi-millionaire and will host a new game show on comedy central.
 
Just saw it, good game. Ken still made $500k, not to mention all of his product endorsement deals which earned him a ton more... It seems like Brad was just faster on the signaling device.
