Last night proved interesting -- it was actually a pretty exciting match, as things were closer than they usually have been lately. But put it in perspective - the big drama down the stretch was just whether he would make the game another "runaway" where the FJ result couldn't alter the order of finish. Getting the last question locked that up for him, to his visible relief.

We're used to seeing Ken completely lap the field several times over -- this time, with the aid of two fairly significant daily double misses, he only doubled them up. And it was dramatic that there might actually be some modicum of drama to the Final Jeopardy.

Says a lot about his domination, really.

I also think that the comments about his competition are mostly unfair reflections of how good Ken is -- we don't really get to know how good these opponents are because Ken is obviously very comfortable, has the timing down, and knows his stuff extremely well. With all that - it's no surprise that new contestants, even pretty good ones, are getting buried quickly.
