who watched jeopardy???

I loved how they showed the computer's details, but I did start to get a little bored. I thought it was hilarious when they had him in practice rounds and the computer engineers would laugh and get so mad at him when he got an incorrect answer. I felt bad for Watson - lol! 

And I'm not crazy about Ken, so I'm glad he's in 3rd :)

And I'm slightly disappointed Brad (i think?) used his 3.5 mil to become an actor... he's so smart, come on man, research stuff! But whatever makes him happy I guess!

Re: who watched jeopardy???

  • I watched!!! But of course you already knew that. I'd already seen most of the informative stuff so I was anxious to see them play more. I wish they'd do a special 1 hour episode or something instead of continuing the short episodes. So far Watson has held his own.

     The videos of him crashing totally crack me up. They didn't even show some of the best clips of him going crazy. I also think it's really funny to see how excited they get when he gets hard questions right. They have this huge sense of pride (which they should as the technology is pretty amazing).

    Hopefully they'll jump right into the game tonight!

  • I watched it!  I thought it was neat but kind of bored when they were explaining the whole process of how Waston was "born".  I guess I found it boring since I had already read up on it and knew the background.  Poor Ken just seems confused about having to play against a computer.  I did find it funny when Ken answered a question incorrect and then Waston buzzed in and gave the exact same response.  I can't wait to see how double jeopardy tonight goes!

  • We watched it too. We actually watch Wheel and Jeopardy almost every night. Wheel actually helped me teach Jeffery his alphabet, so he loves it and repeats the letters. It's so cute.

    Anyway, I did like the details of what Watson was coming up with. Pretty cool. I also liked the snippets of the practice rounds. I agree that the people who developed him have every right to be proud! What an amazing thing! 

    And I'm not fond of Ken either, so I was rooting against him the whole time. I'm pretty impressed that Brad's kept up. I figured Watson would blow them both out, honestly.

  • I watched!  I love that the put Watson's top three probabl answers and the probability %s he's come up with for every question.  It's really interesting to see which ones he doesn't get and which ones are no-brainers for him so to speak.

    At first I thought he was going to run away with it and I wasn't very happy about it, but as the round went on, some of Watson's flaws definitely became more apparent and it's a great competition.

  • I really hope Watson gets a Daily Double so we can see how he decides the amount to wager.

    He got one last night and wagered the full amount he was allowed to wager!

    I was thinking the same thing, Madisen. Towards the end I was glad to see the game get a lot closer. Double/Final jeopardy should be really good!

    Overall, it was really cool to watch. I wish there had been more playing time instead of background info. I'm definitely looking forward to watching tonight.

    Ditto.  Watching them test Watson was funny, but other than that I got kind of bored during all of the background.

  • I told H when we were watching last night that I felt like I was on that ride at Disney - The Wheel of Progress. I started singing "It's a great big beautiful tomorrow..." and told H I felt like I was watching the future scene.
