re: This Mayim whoever chick on Jeopardy

This is a hypothetical example of why I prefer Ken. (This dialog didn't actually happen, but I've seen similar examples).

Ken: "This is the treaty that ended the Hundred Years' War"

Contestant John: "What is Westphalia?"

Ken: "No...*time runs out*...

John you were thinking of the 30 Years' War, but the answer is the Treaty of Guines."


Here's how I've seem Mayim handle these situations.


Mayim: "This is the treaty that ended the Hundred Years' War"

Contestant John: "What is Westphalia?"

Mayim: "That is not correct...*time runs out. Reads answer while looking at card*...The Treaty of Guines"



For most clues, it really seems thst Mayim is seeing them for the first time. She rarely has anything to add about the clue because she has no trivia knowledge.

This is what separates her from Ken and Alex.
