It is another story that on the trivia game show, he was able to rack up a 74-game winning streak. But it was only once. It would be interesting to see whether he would be able to repeat it again. If he does so then it would be in many ways an achievement. All eyes are on him. Will he be able to repeat the feat again? This and other questions are being debated by watchers and experts. 
When round one ended on 18th Feb, 2011, Jennings had $2,000 and Watson had $5,000. Rutter too was able to pull some. When the round two started it was difficult to predict anything.
