Ken (normal) / Brad (should be normal)

It's baffling why the betting lines have Brad as the least likely champion. James's whole MO is being bold with big bets (not knocking it - I love the strategy), but I think he would probably have to get lucky for it to actually beat Ken and Brad 3 times. Will be interesting to see if Brad and Ken try to play a James-esque game to stick to what made them great in the first place.

Rutter seriously needs to stop doing seventy quadrillion True Daily Doubles if he wants a snowball's chance in hell at becoming the GOAT.

Ironically, the opposite is actually true. He needs to keep finding Daily Doubles and risking everything, but start getting them right. He's not getting enough non-DD questions right to win without doubling up some.

Strange that Alex predicted this is the last time they're going to be on the stage. Surely there will be some kind of special tournament in the next few years for all of them. Maybe they can do primetime events like this one once or twice a year going forward.

It would be cool to see a primetime event once a year or so.

Maybe next time there could be 9 all-time contestants, and they are all randomly drawn into 3 games (so it would take 9 total nights, or if it's hour longs they can all play 6 random games over 9 nights), and then on the 10th the 3 highest combined points totals play a double game for a million.


Ken, Brad, James, Roger Craig, Julia Collins, Arthur Chu, maybe some more older ones like Chuck Forrest or Frank Spangenberg

I bet he really would after a year or so.
