Are you saying, they tape ten shows in ten days... or, they tape 10 shows in 2 days?

If the former, why would he be tired on the second day? If the latter... holy shit... how did he last this long?

They tape 10 shows in 2 days. I think it's usually a Tues/Wed or Wed/Thurs setup. They tape one week of shows in one day.... I believe they tape three in the "morning" session, take a lunch break, come back and tape the other 2 for the week. In Ken's case he'd go back to the motel, get back up the next morning for the second day of tapings, and they'd tape the next week, 3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. That'd be it for that week of tapings and he'd go home....

They had a good story about it on Nightline tonight. Ken showed them around and gave them an interview... he showed the motel he stayed at every week, it wasn't anything special at all. I guess the first time you go out there you have to pay your own way for everything. For returning champions they'd pay for your airfare, but Ken was responsible for paying for motel, rental car, etc. the entire time....
