That would be *incredibly* difficult to plan. Dare I say, almost impossible, without the help of the producers.

Rather, I think it's much more likely to say that the two guys tied at 8,000 decided to bet it all which is not a totally uncommon practice for someone who is trailing behind in final jeopardy, and the other guy realized that they couldn't do any more than double their score if they got it right, so he risked only as much as was necessary to guarantee that he'd get to return if he got the question correct. Add onto that an easy question, and you have an incredibly unlikely event
