I thought that his excuse for missing such a simple clue was pretty weak.
Ironically, I suspected that Ken had also taken a dive at the end of his 74 game run when he also missed a rather simple clue…and looked a bit sheepish after doing so. I was thinking that ratings might’ve dipped as viewers tired of seeing Jennings keep winning day after day, so he was asked to graciously bow out. |

^^^ Might be.
I do think that the winnings are sort of skimpy...esp if the contestant is 'well to do' in life.

This has happened at least three times that I can remember.

Oh and possibly we saw a clicker problem! The lady on the right was clearly trying to push the button, nobody else buzzed in and the question timed out. My wife says maybe she was just wanting to push it but didn't have the answer but a second later she appeared to be inspecting the buzzer.
Hmmm.....

I didn't watch it...but she prob buzzed in too soon. If buzzing in before Ken finishes the clue...you are locked out for a period of seconds.

But not for the entire remaining time right? Nobody else buzzed in.

^^^ I don't know....I think it's for only 2 or 3 seconds after he ends the clue.
But 2 or 3 seconds is about all the time there is before he gives the answer....it's fast.

Thinking more about it.....that's likely why she couldn't buzz in. After the early buzz, she wasn't able to get called until one of the others had a chance. Just my guess. .

Ahhh so it may be an early buzz means you’re out until someone else buzzes in. If they don’t then you missed it. That would make more sense I think.
