Is anyone quite as hooked on Ken’s constant wins on Jeopardy? We are completely stuck on this damn show, and actually, Alex is cracking me up because he’s starting to look seriously pissed every time he introduces Ken.

Mr. avabeth just made the comment “It’s a good thing Ken is so likeable. Can you imagine if we’d had eighteen days of that total cold bitch from a few weeks ago?” (If anyone saw her, they’d know exactly who he means).

Seriously, we went out of town on Thursday night and around 7:15, we realized - WE FORGOT TO TAPE JEOPARDY! So I called my parents, panicked, and had them tape it just in case Ken lost. Not that we’re rooting for him to lose, but if he did, we wanted to see this momentous occasion.

We’re addicted to this more than we can believe right now. And we strongly suspect that Ken continues to win when the show through the hiatus, although we have nothing to back that up.

(If there’s already a thread on this, sue me;)…I did a search, didn’t see anything).

So … where should I send the subpoena? 😉
