Watson won.  But, during this match Ken did much better and actually was leading for most of the match.  Brad pretty much did the same.   baddood; baddood;

So watson gets the answers from a text file and not the spoken language...so he gets a sort of head start by the time we see Watson's Computing bar at the bottom of the screen.

Ken's holding his own right now, last 10 minutes, only a couple thousand behind.

I'm pretty sure his strategy was pressing the button first and answering the question second.
