Jeopardy Ultimate Tournanment of Champions

Jeopardy is in the middle of a 5-Round "Ultimate" tournament of Champions - with the top two finishers lined up to face 74 game winner Ken Jennings in the battle for the ultimate Championship. Right now they are finishing up the round of 54 to get to the round of 18. Since you had to be a 5 game winner (or the equivalent) just to get in to the tournament, at this stage, you have three undefeated champions competing against each other every night. The level of play is astonishing. Ken Jennings was a great player, but I don't think his odds of success are much better than the one out of 3 that he would receive through random chance. He just did not face this level of competition in his regular matches.


This is JEOPARDY!

(FYI - I'm going to be cheering like it's 1985 for my contemporary, Chuck Forrest, who was the "Ken Jennings" of his day.)
