That's amazing.

27 nights in a row. That is so incredible considering the different topics they have on the show. I have no idea how he could be that smart.

Red Sox and Patriots rock my socks!
I remember a couple weeks ago my dad's friend Mike saying he was sick of him cuz he'd been there 3 nights in a row. haha, imagine how annoyed he must be by now. :lol:

I can see why it'd be annoying to see the same guy day after day, but I give him credit for being that damn smart. haha, hald the questions I'm usually clueless about. :P

Well, he just won again tonight. He's kicking everyone's ass too in each game. He had like 52,000 tonight, 2nd place had 3,000, 3rd place had about 1,000. The final question was so easy though, even I got it. "Which G8 country has the smallest population?" Canada of course! He got another 15,000 just off that question.

This guy is amazing. I have seen him like 7 or 8 times, and parts of others. Only once did I see it where he had to get the last one right to win. Every other time, he starts off so fast and it becomes a runaway.

I just think he could be doing something better. Like Super Millionaire and get that $10 million in just a couple of days. But the way he is going, he might get that high eventually.

He's such a nerd. Just watch the way he talks and acts. I guess it's paying off though. He could reach $1,000,000 tonight.

He won again tonight. Very remarkable and got over the $1 million mark. He does act like a nerd. But, he is a nerdy millionaire. I predict he will win 37 times before he loses.

Is anyone still keeping tabs? I know he finally got over the $1 millions mark, but is he still going and how far along is he now?

He is still alive. He won #36 in a row tonight and has almost $1.2 million won.

I guess the record for winning consecutively on a game show is 46 days in a row. Not sure what game show it was, but Alex Trbeck mentioned it tonight.
