I was wondering while watching – I wonder if Hannah leaned back a little bit. It didn’t look like she was struggling on the buzzer and Ben was just faster. To Ben’s credit, he knew what he was buzzing. However, it’s just ever so mildly irritating when he acts like he’s guessing – because, if he is guessing, he’s amazingly lucky. Still, a monster bet, just ’cause he can, is refreshing. Unlike other champs, he ain’t boring!
Wendy doesn’t deserve another shot at Jeopardy, especially when a person such as myself has never been given a first chance.
Ben really exposed what a weak champion Hannah really was.
Oh c’mon, Albert… if you got on the show and had to play against TWO people who had shown themselves to be capable of multiple runaway games, are you saying you wouldn’t feel you were unfairly disadvantaged?
Ben took no prisoners from the get-go. I’m assuming that when they scheduled him for May 15, they did not know he’d be opposing a ToC qualifier.
Poor Wendy from my current home city didn’t stand a chance.
FJ was a cinch for this old man who grew up in the hard rock era.
Stumpers too much for me, other than the Angie Harmon show.
Great run, Hannah Wilson. Sorry that things didn’t work out against Ben Chan, who dominated today’s game, but you did great. 8 wins and about $230,000. We’ll see you in the Tournament of Champions.
Tough break for Hannah, after being strong for the past 8 games she got crushed and burned big time against a returning co-champ Ben Chan who dominated the game after a month of hiatus. It wasn’t Hannah’s day today.
