Update on the Kult of Ken

[kellinator]

kenjennings is up to 90 members.

However, I would estimate only about three of them are legal to play the Ken Jennings Drinking Game, as passed on by parilous.

My personal, Kellinator-only version of the Ken Jennings Drinking Game is much simpler: Every time he's mentioned, I do a shot.

theashifaction is trying to cheer me up by pointing out "you batteled against a legend. thats NOBLE. thats something to tell your grandchildren." My personal plan is when I hit 70, I'm going to send the Jeopardy producers a heartwarming letter about how as a young girl I had my ass handed to me by The Great Ken Jennings, and could I audition again to show my grandkids? Then I'll go out and kick some half-my-age ass. Then again, this is of course assuming I'll have brain cells left after twenty years of the Ken Jennings Drinking Game.

kyspaz, who doesn't even know you, was complaining about how much she doesn't like You Know Who.

Probably thousands of people can say that they've been on Jeopardy. Heck, I know of about three personally. But you are one of the few that can say that they went up against someone who's now a TV legend, and came in second. I know, it's not the same, but it's a good thing, really.

You can say that not only did you come in second to the "Great Ken", but you got the final jeopardy question and he missed it.

I think they should invite all the "second place" people to Mr. Jennings to allow them to battle it out after his luck runs out.

Hopefully he wont still be on the show at this point.

You went on and held your own against an amazing player. You oozed charisma and intelligence, and I was so proud to say "I know her!"

Heh.

You know that we as your friends and loyal supporters would be willing to start an "ken jennings is a weenie" community if you gave the word. ;)

And he will NEVER look as good as you in a corset!

Heck, I've been calling him Weenie_Ken since I first saw him.

I quite liked some bits of that article, particularly the segment where the woman referred to his face as being "so punchable". I agree.

The bits about him being an unassailable villain, on the other hand, I strongly disagree with. Darth Vader is a villain. Jennings is a dork.

cheers,

He's won so much it's absolutely vulgar now. I'm like "OK, KEN...you've proven you're smart, move on."

I've quit watching Jeopardy because I'm sick of seeing Ken stomp over all competitors. Part of the appeal of the show, to me, is to see NEW people. I never root for returning champions, anyway. Ken has ruined the show. Which pisses me off, because I really do love Jeopardy... oy. Damn you, Ken Jennings!

I refuse to watch Jeopardy again until someone tells me he's gone.

Out of idle curiosity I went and checked out the official Jeopardy message board, and got entirely too excited by apost intimating that Ken Jennings had just been busted for cheating. My first thought was "Ah! That explains it!", my second thought was "Dammit! It was a joke!"...
