My buddy sent me a text saying that the show took over 4 hours to film because watson kept crashing. If so, that is BS.

That's horseshite, if true.

You can see the frustration on Ken's face as he tries to buzz in before Watson

Probably not going to get to see this last round until later tonight but $1000 says that Watson is "slower" on the buzzer this round.

For some reason, Brads body language and facial expressions remind me of Connery on SNL.

He got the answer right, then in the bottom he wrote:

Watson was way, way off on some questions. I was kinda shocked it got the final jeopardy question right since there weren't really any keywords for Dracula or Bram Stoker.

It took 3 or 4 hours to film the show because Watson kept on crashing like every 10 minutes. They just cut all that out on TV and didn't mention it.

So human > computer

The computer just got bogus timeouts so it could be fixed when it crashed. Humans don't crash.
