He (or someone) keeps score, and every ten weeks or so the top scorer gets a signed copy of his book. If you want to read a great book on <i>Jeopardy!</i>, check out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Prisoner-Trebekistan-Jeopardy-Bob-Harris/dp/0307339564" rel="nofollow">Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!</a> by former champion Bob Harris.

Jeopardy is my all time favorite television show. I bought a walkman that picked up tv band, before the digital switch, so that I could listen to the show while I was in studio classes. I think I annoyed many of my classmates by saying the questions out loud. Yay. Jeopardy is my all time favorite television show.
