    Did anyone catch that special last week about Alex?  It was a good watch, and confirmed my sense that he's a man of humor, introspection, and class.

    Cheering for Brad but he really struggled tonight. Ken was great. When James was on his streak and Ken was being asked how he thought he’d fare against James, he said he thought he’d be too slow now that he’s older. But that sure wasn’t the case tonight. 

    Fun stuff. I like the format too. Basically a three-way best-of-7.

    I want to see the personification of a brain (Ken) beating an algorithm (James).  Nothing against James. He's super intelligent and a fun, quirky guy, but he relies on his board navigation algorithm to win.  Ken just relies on pure knowledge. Who cares about Brad?!

    Brad's the man. He just couldn't have a huge streak like James or Ken because he played back when you could only win 5 games in a row. He has beaten Jennings in every tournament of champions they've played in and has won the most money of any player ever. But he didn't look too sharp last night.

    He cracked the game. He played it exactly how I thought it should be played when I watched it as a kid. Why start with the easy questions? Go for the jugular. Attack. play every daily double aggressively.  Know where the daily doubles usually are located and go there. 
    Never watched a single episode, but read about his approach. He is an assassin.

    Funny you mention this.  For years I would watch when they set up the board and the last square that was set up was the daily double.  I have no idea if it has ever changed but it was something I noticed.

    Anyone?
