Best game show contestants of 2004?

[zachhoran]

WHo are everyone's picks for the best contestant(s) of 2004, Kenjen, Invisioners, or otherwise.

[Jimmy Owen]

Best of 2004?  Hands down, Ken Jennings.

Well, skipping the obvious answer, I'd have to go with Matt Ottinger, who put up a great fight on J! against KenJen (wonder what Matt's up to these days), and John Holder on Wheel.

Depends on what defines best.

Likeable or if they play the game well.

Besides Ken Jennings, there was Robert Essig, Tom Walsh and Amy Remple.

[Chief-O]

Ken, of course, but also those that really gave him a run for his money too [including Ottinger, of course]. I'm wondering if I should count Nancy Zerg, as well.

[Robert Hutchinson]

All three finalists from this year's J! College Championship.

[tvwxman]

Worlds are colliding. I'm agreeing with Bandit.

Bob-O Essig...being in the studio for that ep, it was damn good TV.

I'll add the guy who won a quarter mil MeredithMillionaire..... John Castellano  from Staten Island.... a nice guy who brought back memories of what WWTBAM was all about ..... average people on tv getting a chance to change their life....

Any TPiR contestant who played Hit Me correctly.

[sshuffield70]

Any contestant who knows the rules of their pricing game (exception given to Half Off) on TPIR.

And BTW, congrats to our own John Holder who earned POTW honors from Stosh.

John Castellano, who also posted here after his shows aired.

And what Matt said.

My honest opinion is that they should put a "rules of the game" question on the application/questionnaire you fill out (SSN and the like) when you are in line.  People who don't know what they're doing, and all the "PICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shirts are making TPiR unwatchable!
