Incredible Jeopardy champion

[GBNF]

The current Jeopardy champion, Larissa something or other, is on a six-day winning streak with...

get this...

$222,597

She won another $42,800 tonight...

Now rates third all-time in winnings, not including TOC's.

Wow.

I thought Ken Jennings made a comeback.

Oh well.

I thought Ken Jennings made a comeback.

Oh well.

She doesn't have the timing of Jennings - really, the most important quality, because, after all, they're all freaking brilliant - but she's just as sharp. Risks a ton when on daily doubles.

Awesome.

I once beat the computer on the Super Nintendo Jeopardy. Man, 1997 was a good year.

I thought this thread was about Birdscribe, too.

Yeah. That was the year Fleetwood Mac reunited and put out The Dance.

Then again, Stevie always put out back in the day. She's had more hands up her dress than Miss Piggy. </Bette Midler>

That's almost $40k per day. Damn. She must be going nuts on the doubles and final jeopardy.

solid.

 

[KYSportsWriter]

there was a lady that beat her heading in to final jeopardy one night. had 2k or so more than the champ.

 

[Webster]

I watched a couple of her wins and she had tight battles going into final jeopardy, which forced her to wager a lot. I think that she's good, but not unreal.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Great grace under pressure, which is the measuring stick.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

Now she can buy more than 888,000 shares of JRC stock.

How'd you like to be the lady who finished with $41K last night ... and lost?

That's got to be a real kick in the nuts.

 

[Killick]

I've been watching. She's a smart lady, but the thing that strikes me is... she's more than a little creepy. Creepy little smile, very quiet, nearly monotone. Has home-schooled written all over her. Her husband, Alex said, was a champion, himself.

 

[Maniacal1]

Her husband lost to Ken Jennings.

Seems her sister was on the show as well ...

That's kind of impossible if you don't have any nuts to kick.
