What if he didn't accept it.....

Just think, there's some alternate universe where Julia Lazarus is a game show legend, and Ken's still stuck in some windowless cubicle in Utah.

The final answer was questionable, especially since Jones is a common last name. Just one decision from the judges, and Ken Jennings would have been gone on the first day.

Ken totally stole the old guys answer.

@trojanowl

What if she was almost as good as Ken, and could have gone on a few dozen-game streak?

That Final Jeopardy clue would be null and void today, since M. Jones was busted for doping. Yeah, she still won those medals, but as far as the IoC is concerned now, Marion Jones never ran in Sydney.

Boy it would suck to be Julia. You get one chance in your life, and you start against Jennings. And you give him a total run for the money.

the start of a dynasty...

@zachhoran Did Julia question it? I wonder why they didn't ask him to be more specific as it was final Jeopardy? It would be interesting to know how they judge this. Why the other and not this one? Thanks for the tidbit. I think there was something I watched instead of Jeopardy but then heard of his winning streak. I can't remember how many he was on but I wondered if they started giving him a suite at the hotel he was staying at? Wondered if he had to pack everything each day in case. ha
