I don’t think anybody was asking anything more than just wait until everybody 
in the group, across multiple time zones, had had a chance to watch live.  It 
sounds like you’re confusing the “no spoiler” requests with a request that you 
don’t spoil “Jeopardy!” in general for us.  I personally couldn’t care less if 
you announce the winners every day as soon as you see them…this was a one-time 
request for a unique situation:  we (well, *I* anyway) didn’t want to know the 
results of his particular match in advance.

And, now that we get at least one more day of his run, I would repeat the 
request for no spoilers until late tonight.  😊

My argument is simple: daily game shows, by their nature, are more suited to 
the rules that would apply to a sporting event (albeit one that's not carried 
live everywhere) than a scripted television program. Therefore, while it's 
respectful to not spoil the ending in a situation where parts of the country 
have not seen the episode, given that there's another episode airing 24 hours 
later (and that the title of this thread was reasonably clear that how he 
performed was the topic), I'm not sure how long you'd want to wait (or adding 
spoiler space) before we could talk about it.

Now that Joe has spoiled the outcome (I'm never sure what's appropriate in the 
DVR age), I'll add my congratulations to Ben and add a question that I find 
myself wondering about: After an ending, what do you say to the contestant 
whose error allowed you to win? Is it just "Good game"?

And thanks to Jim for putting up the recording for those who didn't see it.
