I also think James will win, but my heart is rooting for Ken.  I've always liked him.

That was a terrific first match.  I was worried that Ken and Brad might not be a match for James's buzzer speed, but that clearly wasn't the case.

1 and 1, which means it is guaranteed at least one day of next week

Nope if either Ken or James win the next two matches then the tournament will end Friday (since their airing an episode Thursday and Friday)

I don't think there's an episode this Friday.

It's a hit so far:

Quote
The first night of ABC’s “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time” tournament delivered the network’s largest primetime audience of the 2019-20 TV season, as the one-hour showdown averaged 14.4 million viewers Tuesday night.

According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the opening salvo in the “Jeopardy!” GOAT tourney beat out every ABC broadcast since the season began. Until the start of the syndicated show’s special primetime run, ABC’s top draw was its Nov. 13 broadcast of the CMA Awards (11.3 million viewers).

To quote Brad's answer in the second Final Jeopardy: "Ken es el hombre!"

Assuming all three players have an equal chance to win a given match, which is possibly not a realistic assumption based on results so far, then at this point Ken has a 19/27 chance of winning it all, James 6/27, and Brad 2/27.

It's nice seeing Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids mentioned in a Jeopardy! clue.

Do the cedars fall rapidly in Iowa?

I'm still blown away by how close the series was. If James got 1 or 2 doubles in game 1 and got final right in game 4 he would have won instead. He was only 2 maybe 3 away from winning. This proved how great James and ken are, and how those two truly are the greatest of all time

Ken > James >> Brad >>> mere mortals
