Okay, since I'm in the business of forecasting, I'll start the thread....
How do you think Matt O will do against "Buzzsaw" Jennings Monday night?
1. He goes into the history books as the guy who takes out the big champ.
2. He at least goes into FJ! with enough to win, SHOULD Ken blow the question.
3. He goes into FJ! like everyother Ken opponent.
4. He doesn't go into FJ!, on account of a negative score.
5. He doesn't go into FJ!, on account of answering every response with "Who is Malcolm?".
(Oh , it's not like any of you haven't thought of the outcome already!)
I'll be first. I'll be optomistic and say he takes the championship.
Bet Now! Bet Now!

I am looking forward to the following shows to be mentioned. "Quizbusters," "Reach For the Top," "Beat the Odds" and "Malcolm."
-
I don't know Matt at all, so I have no real basis to judge. Let's not let that stop us, however.
Logic suggests (3). It's the most likely occurence.
I'll be optimistic and predict (2).
-
Got to be #1. If somebody's going to take down Ken, it ought to be one of our own.
-
All I know is if "Quizbusters" ain't mentioned in the interview, I have lost all respect for the contestant interviewers.
-
My prediction: Matt wipes the floor with Ken and uses a small portion of his winnings to join the Hair Club for Men.
Of the choices given, I guess the closest is #1. :-)

I see Matt beating the buzzsaw, changing his handle on this board to GiantKiller04, then losing the next day to the guy from the Holiday Inn Express ads.
(just kidding! Go MattO!)

I will be frank, and I think once again, Ken is going to end up with another $30,000+. I'd actually like to see him go up to a mill.
-
Matt has a chance, unless Alex Trebek attempts to sell him a porch swing in the middle of the game.
-
Going into FJ, it'll be...
Ken: 26k
Matt: 10k
Loser McFool: Some loser amount (Let's say $Texas.)
And Matt will enjoy his $2,000 plus the Malcolm Jackpot.

At least this isn't allowed in Las Vegas(or Atlantic City in the East), but if there were odds for this thread, this is how it might look:
Choice 1: 9:2
Choice 2: 7:2
Choice 3: 3:5
Choice 4: 25:1
Choice 5: 75:1
Based on that, I'll go with the "favoritte" with #3.

Not really. You just typed some random numbers. Please, sir, what's the point?
-
Given that Matt has experience hosting Q & A quiz shows, he should be on even par with Ken, with all of that knowledge floating around in Matt's head.
My guess is that it will all boil down to who is better on the signaling system. Unfortunately, Ken has that edge.
Here's Hoping Matt will become the next Jeopardy! King of Mountain for at least 5 days!! ;-D
-
I wish Matt the best, and hopefully for him, he is darn quick on the trigger to ring in. He will give Ken a good game.

Do I get to vote?
Seriously, thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. Later tonight (after 11pm Eastern, of course) I'm sure I'll have a lot to say in Show Summaries.

Matt has all the makings of a great long-running champ: Knowledge, personality, and wit. Plus his TV experience will be a great psychological advantage as he's less likely to be distracted by the studio environment.
But as I found out on FaceTheMusic and other shows that I hope are lost forever, anything is possible when the game begins. So I say, let's concern ourselves less with the outcome and more with how well he plays the game and how his personality comes across on the tube.
After all, this is Hollywood, where it's far more important to be held in high regard, create a good image, and look good than to BE good!
Now go kick ass and take more MervDollars than Denny Terrio!

Which brings up a good question - what's the latest J! appears for anybody on this board? 7 p.m. Pacific (10 p.m. Eastern)? Later? Anybody in Guam, where America's Day Begins?

What Merv game show was Denny Terrio on?
Was THAT aired ? :)

I can't tell, but I'm rooting for both. Ken's proven himself, but Matt....well, for me NOT to root for him would be a disgrace to this forum [in my opinion, at least]. So I'd say that if Ken wins, Matt would be very close. If Matt wins [I'll be totally surprised if this happens], Ken would be real close.
-
I think there's a pretty decent chance for option #2, that he could surely get into Final Jeopardy! with enough to beat Ken if he were to miss the question. And he's missed a Final Jeopardy! question or two, so who knows ;).
-
I'm personally hoping Ken and Matt will win in a tie game and become co-champions for at least 10 shows !

Many thanks. Would that the I Gotta Post Nows show you the same respect.

Several markets on the West Coast air the show at 7:30P, which is why Matt is being considerate and waiting until 8 our time.
-
Here's my prediction....Ken's GOIN' DOWN BIG TIME. Matt will be the new champion, no question about it.
