- [Alex] The three of you began writing
even before I completely read the clue.
- [Alex] Brad, we start with you,
you were in third place,
and you wrote down,
"What are Democratic Republican and Whig?"
You are absolutely right!
- [Brad] And now I have to hope
that both of them miss it,
which is probably not gonna happen.
(applause)
- [Ken] There was not a lot
of 19th century parties
you could go with there.
- [Alex] (inaudible) Did he come
up with the correct response?
He did indeed, why am I surprised?
And, you doubled your score!
That brings you up to 27,200.
(applause)
- [Alex] Ken is not looking too worried.
- [Ken] Poker face.
- [Ken] That's a thing, right James, poker face?
- [James] Aw, look at that!
- [Alex] "What are Whigs
and Democratic Republicans?"
- [Alex] Yes, three for three!
- [Ken] I mean there's nothing
like big relief when you see
a clue you know immediately,
but then if it's long you
still have to write it down;
they put a lot of clues in this tournament
that were very hard to
write down in 30 seconds.
- [Ken] Like they know that we're
good with the little pens.
- [James] I admit I didn't
think you had it in you.
- [James] I thought maybe you would bet
up to 40,000 or something,
but yeah, good on you for going there.
- [Ken] Yeah I mean it's really, like in these,
the thing about the format was,
in most Jeopardy! tournaments
if you lose a game
you might be done, you're
probably done, I mean here,
you're gonna be back the next day so,
it's an even stronger incentive
for really aggressive play,
given this format, you know,
when you have the good hand,
make sure all the chips are out there.
- [Ken] I'm probably using that
terminology incorrectly,
but James could help me out.
- [James] You do it about as well as my wife does.
(laughter)
- [James] Good company.
