	Brad Rutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rutter currently lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he hosts InQuizitive, a locally-broadcasted quiz show for high school students.
		Rutter is a 1995 Manheim Township High School graduate.
		Rutter has self-deprecatingly described himself as a "slacker" in high school and a Johns Hopkins dropout (while there, he studied English and history).

	Brad Rutter wins Jeopardy Utilimate Tournament of Champions
		We interviewed Brad Rutter the week after his breathtaking victory over Ken Jennings in the Ultimate Tournament of Champions (UToC), one of a half dozen tightly scheduled interviews on a busy afternoon.
		In the opening moments of the first game between Rutter, Jennings and Jerome Vered, it seemed like Jennings was going to annihilate the other champions, as he roared through the categories.
		And in fact, the buzz around Rutter’s victory hasn’t quite matched the attention attracted by Jennings’ unprecedented march through the Jeopardy record books in 2004, a streak facilitated by a recent change in the rules allowing unlimited play.

	This is... Jennings!
		Brad was once again on fire, going 30 out of 31 through the first two rounds today, nailing his one Daily Double (a gain of $1,400).
		Brad was in a zone over those last five rounds and all three Final Jeopardy!'s, he played the game the way it was meant to be played, and he earned it.
		Brad is close, and won't make things easy (nor will Jerome "Buzzsaw" Vered), but in the end, I think Ken will be the last one standing, $2 million richer and leaving no question as to his place in game show (and Jeopardy!) history.

		Today, it was Brad's turn to get off to a fast start, as Ken and Jerome both struggled from the beginning.
		The second round once again would not be kind to Ken, as he found himself further behind Brad, and watched Jerome go on a tear to pass him for second place.
		Brad's response was "Who is (Cecil B.) De Mille?".

	A: He beat the best Q: Who is Brad Rutter? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Rutter, a single 27-year-old from Lancaster County, dispatched Jennings, the former "Jeopardy!" royalty who last year won 74 times in a row on the popular TV game show, erasing the all-time winnings record that until then had belonged to Rutter.
		In his victory, Rutter might help to recast the nation's popular image of Lancaster County residents, who these days are known primarily for their tendency to take their airplanes for joyrides into Washington, D.C., airspace.
		Rutter takes home the $2 million winner's purse, takes back the show's lifetime earnings record -- he's now collected $3.2 million -- and takes away a measure of the mystique Jennings accumulated during last year's run.

		Brad is a long time friend of ours and I can assure you that he is a great guy.
		Brad deserves a 'thank you' for redeeming Lancaster, PA. Now hopefully the nation will realize that smart people come from Lancaster too- we're not all just a bunch of morons who fly in restricted airspace.

	Sony Pictures - Brad or Ken, if you had to pick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Given the bad performance of the Nifty Nine (which I know Brad was a member of), I'd have to say, watch out Ken. I think a lot of the problem with the Nine (this is just my opinion, and not based on experience) was lack of experience on the signalling devices.
		While Brad Rutter is pretty good, I believe Jennings is overall smarter, and faster on the buzzer.
		Brad is the only player who has a chance to be (in my mind) considered better than Ken. If anyone else were to beat him, I would consider it a lucky fluke.

		Ken Jennings finishes second in Jeopardy's Ultimate Tournament of Champions, behind Brad Rutter of Lancaster, PA, a 5-time winner and winner of the 2001 Tournament of Champions and the Million Dollar Masters.
		Rutter was demonstrably superior throughout the three-day match, although having played his way through two more rounds than Jennings did surely helped.
		(Jennings received a bye into the finals; Rutter received a bye into the quarters.) Then again, Rutter wouldn't have made it into the finals if Michael Rooney hadn't made a Final Jeopardy betting error in their quarterfinal match.
