I found out over the weekend that they the episodes were hour-long, and feared to myself that they were going to try to stretch out a single game. I was very relieved Monday afternoon when I discovered they were going to the two-game format.
They were about 20 clues into Game 1's Jeopardy round when I thought to myself "I don't think they've missed yet." And that's exactly what happened: the three of them ran that board like nobody's business. Ken's True Daily Double call on the second Daily Double of Game 1(and the look on his face as he was trying to suss out the response) was absolutely nerve-wracking.. James's Nelson Muntz taunt of Brad when he buzzed in on the Dick Clark clue was great. A question for anyone: when Ken answered the Game 2 Jeopardy round Daily Double, he originally just gave the first name, then there was a pause, then he gave the full name, to which Alex said "Thank you!", the implication was that Alex would've ruled Ken wrong had he not given the full name. I thought a contestant would've been given a "more specific" request. Was there a rule change at some point, or am I just flat wrong? Poor Brad just got whammied (wrong game show, but still) by the two DDs in Game 2 Double Jeopardy round. He looked like he was just trying to get back into the swing of things. But there you go: the unbeatable man didn't just get beaten: he got his rear handed to him.
