So far?It pits Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter and a computer named Watson.I 'll open the discussion by saying it was really different.Any comments on Part 1 of the 3 day challenge?

It was inevitable that Watson would win the whole shebang,(and it did),but one thing I do NOT understand:In the end credits,it said "Portions of the program not affecting the outcome of the game have been edited."Why ?(This disclaimer was used at the end of all 3 games.)

And also,I noticed that Alex Trebek was a bit testy at Watson the computer,when Watson,upon hitting "Daily Double"s,made all those strange wagers.Well,at least it WASN'T a runaway.

I think it should be...

Ken Jennings, Watson the Computer, and...wait for it...Sean Connery!
