I used to like the show, but I am now convinced that everyone's favorite quiz show Jeopardy is a fix. There is no way one person whould be able to win over a month's worth of shows. I guess once the ratings started going up after his 10th win or so, the producers just started picking people waiting in line at the bus stop to be contestants on the show.

I only saw the end of one show (his 27th or 28th win), but he started Final Jeopardy with about $30,000. One of the other 'contestants' had about $3000 and the other 'contestant' had $1500. How on earth do you get into Final Jeopardy with only $1500? You can get $1500 from answering two questions. Are these people just desperately guessing and losing points? Do their buzzers not work? Or maybe all the answers just show up on Ken Jennings' little screen before Alex even reads the question? (Trabek is in on it) Hmmmmmmm.....

I'd like to see how he would do on a real game show where they don't give him the answers. Maybe something like The Price is Right.
