Brad number 1 and Ken number 2 all time? Now that I think about it, Im beginning to think if Ken would even have made it to the final if he had to play all the rounds

I think Ken was a bit rusty, but there's no denying that Brad manhandled him. As to which is a better player, it's a toss-up. With a different set of categories, a third player other than Jerome, or Ken playing more games prior to the final, it might have turned out differently.

The only true way to know is to kidnap both Brad and Ken and have them play Jeopardy head-on until you say stop!

brad won every single game in the final. he outscored every player going into Final Jeopardy! and after Final Jeopardy! was done. He got every Final Jeopardy! response correct.

I would say Brad > Ken.

Aren't we a few days late?

Anyhow, Ken still easily handed Jerome Vered. So Ken would have easily breezed through the rounds if he was required to play through the tournament. And Ken is just added to the long list of Jeopardy players that have been Ruttered!!!

From Ken's run earlier, we know that he has no problem ringing in fast, so he was outtrivialized in the three games.

Brad also won the million championship in 02, so he is no fluke.
