I wouldn't be surprised if Watson leaves the contestants in tears this time - not because of some sadness at losing to a machine, but the sheer intellectual drain of a large number of very quick decisions based on intuition - which is what I guess it will take to beat the machine.
This was always a winning strategy. Be quick on the buzzer and use the time you have to come up with an answer. It's the way Ken Jennings kept winning.
