Jeopardy! Final Winners Announced
The Jeopardy! final round is a time when participants have to decide whether to play the final round or walk away with the cash prize. In doing so, they forfeit the chance to extend their winning streaks. This week’s contestants include Brian Ahern, Robert Won, and Leigh Jahnig. Brian Ahern has already shown his superior knowledge of the game. He’ll try to extend his streak on tonight’s episode of the popular game show.
Amy Schneider
As a child, Schneider studied an Atlas, and while she had no trouble identifying countries, she didn’t know the name of the only country that ends in “H.” For this reason, she was confident when it came to the Countries of the World category on Jeopardy. However, she did miss out on the prize money by not knowing what the name of Bangladesh was. Fortunately, she had enough time to think on her feet to find the answer, which made it all the more gratifying.
Schneider’s active Twitter account has helped her gain more fans. She talks about her life, how she’s a role model for the LGBTQ community, and how she’s made history as the highest female earner on “Jeopardy!” She’s also written threads analyzing each game. The latest thread she wrote broke down the game on Tuesday, and she admitted to falling behind on posts due to illness. She later said that she was robbed in Oakland.
Pete Chattrabhuti
Last night’s Jeopardy! final featured two women – an attorney from Washington, DC, and a textile conservator who worked on Bjork’s iconic Swan dress. Neither of the two women delivered the correct answer, but both played smart. Pete Chattrabhuti, an attorney, bet $0, and Marina Hays, a textile conservator, bet $5,500. Both women made the final, but neither won the jackpot. But in the end, one woman, Marina, won the game by $200!
The Jeopardy! final also featured the second finalist of the season – Pete Chattrabhuti. This Washington, DC-based attorney has been following the show for years and has a background in law. He went on to complete his formal education at Harvard-Westlake School and later earned his B.A. in political science from George Washington University. He also earned a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. He plans to return next season as a judge for the show.
Mattea Roach
The Jeopardy! final was the first to feature an international competitor, and Mattea Roach proved that she is one of the best. She has already won 20 games and is now one of the most successful players in the game’s history. She will now compete in the Tournament of Champions, which will air in the fall. In the meantime, you can watch her on the show weekdays at 9 p.m. ET.
The 23-game winning streak of Mattea Roach on “Jeopardy!” came to an end on Friday. She lost the game by one point to Danielle Maurer, who won $15,600. Mattea Roach is a Toronto tutor who will return to the show next fall. She also plans to compete in the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions later this year.
Megan Wachspress
Watch the full episode of the Jeopardy! final today, June 21, to learn more about the winner! Megan Wachspress beat out Tory Leviton in yesterday’s episode, winning $401 for herself. Leviton was the reigning champion and had a small lead in the game. When Wachspress answered the question correctly, she swung the game in her favor. She won game four by $2 and qualified for the Tournament of Champions, her fifth victory. This streak was a huge accomplishment considering her recent bad luck.
The Jeopardy! final has been an exciting one, with Megan Wachspress, a Sierra Club Staff Attorney, advancing to the second episode. Megan won the first game of the game, and has now won the second, third, and fourth. The next episode will feature a new champion and the Tournament of Champions will begin on April 16.
