New start to Jeopardy

[URY914]

Anyone see tonight show? Only the champ from Canada made it to Final Jeopardy. The other two were in the negative at the end of the Jeopardy rounds. Don't think I've seen that.

Yes...I watched it. Unusual, but I have seen it before.

Mattea is a very smart young lady. I really like her casual way of playing the game.
She gestures on almost every response. I hope she keeps it going.

Did you catch her m/t driving experience?.....funny.

Anyway....Mattea when questioned by Ken Jennings, said that when she was learning to drive, someone tried to teach her how to drive a 5 speed manual for her first time.

She got nervous and froze on the gas and drove the car into a small pond.
It was six years later before she got up enough nerves to get behind the wheel of a car again!

She has an odd way of moving her hands around.

Very animated. Also seems to know about every subject.

Is it a new record for Jeopardy having only one contestant in Final Jeopardy?

[stevej37]

^^^ No...it's rare, but has happened before.

She does know as wide range of crazy facts.

[stevej37]

The show is more fun to watch when someone gets on a run like she has.

A good personality helps also....if she would only lose that nose ring.

She actually missed final. Low scorer got it right. Too little, too late.

[URY914]

I thought the bald beaded dude was going to give her a run for it but she cranked it up and pulled out the win.

[stevej37]

Mattea seems to be more confident with every game.
Rolling along.

The other lady had her on her heels for a time until Double round. Then she turned it up and poured it on. Nice win!

[URY914]

She's only 23!!!

The dude with the pink hair, Nicky, didn't prove to be much of a challenge...lol.

Some tough clues on tonight's show.

last nights final jeopardy clue....

[ckissick]

I thought of the "Greek Freak", but he spells his name differently, so I thought it wasn't him. Turns out, the family changed the spelling. They should have used the current spelling, IMO.
