Second place gets $2,000, third $1,000. Way back when, at least when Art Fleming was host and, I believe, when it re- started with Alex, everyone took home their winnings. Thought that was a little more interesting. But I still miss the five game max win. I think it is too daunting to go up against a Jennings or a Julia or a Chu or Matt after they've won so many games.
You can't be in the champions tournament if you played the week before it. I'd love to see this kid beat Jennings' 74 game streak but I don't want to wait another year to see him play.
It is going to be fun to see Matt vs. Ken in the near future. I think Matt will wipe the floor against Arthur or Julia. Not so sure how he will do against the guy who won the tournament of champions last year.
(Do you get the feeling I REALLY love that show?)
