Overall, I thought the whole thing was hilarious, and I often thought if Watson lost, he would kill everyone... Terminator much?

My two favorite parts was when Watson rang in and said the exact same answer as Ken, mean I know he can't hear, but he totally lacks common sense, another amusing part was when, the category was "US Cities" and Watson answered "Toronto". And to wrap this whole thing up, thank you Ken!

I kinda expected Watson to win, I never saw it but was there a question that Watson got wrong?

Watson actually got a few wrong, especially after the first commercial break of the first round(episode).

Yeah. I missed the first day. When I tuned in on the second day, I was surprised to see the scores from the first day so low for all three contestants. Watson then proceeded to "run away" with the game.

Well from what I can gather it is really just referencing many connections together. I mean like take the category and major key words ina question and find what it seems likely to be. Of course it won't always be right, but often will.

Yeah and it's connected to many TB of information. It probably has an entire encyclopedia to search through.

AAAAAAHHHHH! ROBOTS TAKING OVER THE WORLD! No, but seriously, that's really cool.

Humans create robots -> Robots become smart -> Robots make more robots -> Robots take over humans

Easy.
