Default Jeopardy- did Ken do that on purpose?

That final jeopardy answer was simple...... even I knew it......

something like....


"what company's mostly 70,000 WHITE COLLAR workers only work 4 months out of the year."

FED-EX????? WTF! he could not be that stupid! I think he did that just to get the hell of the show????

Also, Alex didn't seem too surprised at all.... almost rehearsed..... "all good things have to come to and end" he quickly blurted and that was that.....


Sorry if this is a spoiler, but I think everyone knew he was going to lose tonight....

yeah, the last couple of shows that I saw seem fixed. There were times he would just not answer, then a flury of correct answers so he would be up like 10K. What's his final total?

more around 2.5 million. I think he had a soft spot for the lady. She said she adopted a kid and needed money and also wanted to adopt more kids.

Here is my thinking on the final question (and its seems I went farther then Ken in getting the answer)

My thouhgt process written out....
4 months a year, must be Christmas, so must be Fed Ex? But they share employees with UPS? Not to mention that the time frame between Thanksgiving and Christmas is only 1 month? Boy, this is tough, hey look Ken cant get it either! Hmm..... what else is 4 month, oh wait Tax season, must be the IRS, but no, thier not a "Firm" like the qestion states. So whos the biggest income tax company? Oh yeah H&R Block..... Oh shit, my dinners burning.

So I dont think Ken thought it out all the way, he seemed to be baffeled by the question. But what are we gonna do but go on with out lives. Oh any my dinner was not burnt, it was just extra crispy.

Earlier in the show Alex was almost hinting at Ken's defeat, my guess is that he threw it. I'd have to imagine answering all those questions would get mighty boring and from the way he was talking it almost seemed like he wanted to get back to work.
