Maybe this is old news, but I just saw on today's episode that starting Wednesday, they are bringing back all the old champions. I believe the previous high money winner (winner of the past tournament of champions) will be participating and may compete against Ken!
Ive got my money on Ken all the way. Though, no one really knows how good some of the other money winners are due to the old rules. It turns out my cousin's fiancee knows the old money leader personally, so he is obviously rooting for him. Its too bad he will get pwned by Ken
UPDATE (with more information) on the ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
Round 1 - 135 People comprised of previous 5 day winners and teen tournament champions
Round 2 - Pared down to 35 people from round 1
In round two, 9 special seeded players are added to the mix. These includes previous record holders and previous tournament winners.
Round 3 - Takes the top 18 from round 2 and the best 6 move on
Round 4 (Semifinals) - of the 6, 4 are eliminated to leave the best 2
FINALS - the best 2 face off against the LEGENDARY KEN JENNINGS in a 3 day match for a chance at the 2 million dollar grand prize (500k and 250k for 2nd and 3rd, respectively)
These finals will not air until LATE MAY.

Do you think it is fair Ken gets a bye all the way to the finals? He is guaranteed 250,000! I think it is fair because we all know he would get there anyways. This just gives him some more time to be with his family haha
