Are you sure about that? I saw one shot that showed three buttons on a panel in front of Ken. I assumed they were labeled A, B and C, so he could also lock in his answer.

As I mentioned, a friend of mine is on an upcoming episode. She was asked this specific question, and said that the Chaser has to answer in advance, also. Her words, "When you are playing, you look at a monitor and you can see that you both select an answer."

Ditto. I can't watch Jennings at all.

To be fair, some of the smart comments by ken are there as part of the show, I could do without the cuts to Brad and James in the "green" room, they added nothing to the show.

if you watch Master Minds on Game show network where Ken is one of the 3 MMs there's a bit of light trash talking and joking which seems to be what the producers want. Maybe that's just how things are going, I expected this ABC version to be slick and a bit over the top b/c it's network t.v.

James Holzhauer "Mr No Personality" did nothing to improve the show. The most dullest person to take the seat.

On the other hand, he wiped out the competition. Cleared every answer in 2/3 the time allotted.

That's a big part of why we watch.

He really did. He was answering before Sarah finished the questions. His recall speed is incredible.

I'm glad Brad didn't bomb like he did on Jeopardy.
