What happened?
No reserve. No retreat. No regrets.
For those who have fought for it, freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.

He really did blow it, or did he???
Even I guessed the answer and IRS would be
my other choice.
I think that he was told to quit. His winning
streak probably made this show very predictable
and no more interesting. I would not be surprised if
ratings were sliding down at this point.

Sorry to see him go, but it was his time. My favorite response is still "What be Ebonics?". If nothing else he added some personallity to what can quickly become a dull show. He always reminded me of John Astin(Gomez Adams) with that weird little grin, kinda creepy, but still fun.

The guy deserves more than 2.5 mil for answering those questions. Heck those are as hard as the Cool Quiz questions.
What is the Cool Quiz purse these days anyway ?

Two point five mill in 74 days, and he blew it? That Sucks.
A Diamond is just a piece of coal, that made good under pressure!

I think he just got tired and wanted to return to a normal life.
Having won 2.5 mill makes it pretty easy to do.
We've been doing so much,for so long,with so little, that now we can do almost anything, with nothing at all.
