— Each episode consists of two full games, whoever wins the most points in each episode wins the match.
— First to win three episodes wins $1M. Runners up get $250K each.
— starts January 7 and can run from 3-7 days. Airs every night but Monday, as “The Bachelor” cannot be pre-empted for any reason (at least that’s what fans told me :) ).

Having worked for an ABC affiliate, I can confirm this is true. You don’t mess with their Bachelor or DWTS. :P

Well then, there's your answer as to the next mega-duel. They couldn't wait another four years?

The shows tape early next month. My question is how will they keep it from becoming a spoiler by simply knowing how many episodes it runs?

Sorry to sound.grim, but there's a part of me wondering if this tournament will be Trebek's swan song, and he will announce his retirement at the end of the tourney?
