Ken actually had more correct responses in his first ten games... From what I remember, Ken really didn't care about the money, he just wanted the winning streak...

Surprised Ken actually had more correct responses. I have been really impressed by James strategy(and ability) of working the big money clues first so that he can make those much larger DD wagers. In addition to his knowledge, his style of play really maximizes his potential earnings. I'm guessing he is going to be on the show for a good amount of time.
