I love Ken--I was following his winning streak back in the day, too. ^^

And LOL at what he said in the interview! (Yeah, I snarked when he added the "Overlord" comment last night, too. XD)

Disappointed that he lost, but happy he scored the highest among the humans.

...Now if we can just get IBM to convince Richard Dawson to do a special Family Feud with real people against Watson...

Oh, that would be wonderful to watch! :)

I have to admit that super-smart computers scare me a little. I don't exactly enjoy the idea of a real-life Skynet.

Watson only killed the humans in Jeopardy but who knows whats to come next from him and other similar computers. Like I said I don't know if I should be amused or scared. I am definitely impressed. XD

Ken is great, smart, a little nerdy, and a wonderful sense of humor. Even after that Jeopardy streak he comes off really down to earth. I've been a fan for a long time.

I wonder if Watson could do Feud since it doesn't have a real answer just what people think is best. I think Watson would do very well at things like The Price is Right & Wheel of Fortune but humans might still be able to beat him at Feud. XD
