She talked about her strategy on a recent Jeopardy web site interview (after one of the days she had exactly double what her opponent had going into Final Jeopardy.) She at that time bet $1 so she would have not ended in a tiebreaker. If she got it wrong, and the other contestant got it wrong then she would win, if she got it wrong, and the other contestant got it right, she said the best person that day would win.

"While staying calm, cool, and collected has proven to be a successful strategy for Mattea, so has wagering wisely. During Mattea’s seventh and 17th games, she placed $1 wagers during Final Jeopardy! to avoid having to go into a tiebreaker.
“I figure bet a dollar, if we're both right, I win,” Mattea said. “If we're both wrong, I also win. And you know, if the other player gets it right, I get it wrong and I end up losing, well then, the best player won that day.”
So that is her thinking and wagering strategy.Last edited by RShea; 05-07-2022 at 09:52 AM.

The GMA spoiler was on here, it however was not clear as to how many more shows (in this case a day of tapings and a four wins before the Friday loss) So if I had not been in this thread, I probably would have not heard about the GMA appearance. Since I knew she was done, it was each day this past week wondering when her streak would end...

So you're suggesting that I should assume that someone on TGR couldn't wait to be the first to post some bit of news. You have a point.
That's one of the most obscure FJ questions I can remember and it just happened to come up when an Atlanta resident was playing. (Or maybe it's obscure for a west coast resident who never has to fly through Atlanta.) And the weird betting wound up with the champ losing by a dollar. Forgive me if I'm skeptical that it was all coincidence. Anyone know about the "21" scandal.

At the very start of that particular episode Ken Jennings decided (likely scripted) to say that the questions for each scheduled episode have been written months in advance.. Ya, why did he happen to mention that then? Because he knew the Final Jeopardy question favored one of the contestants right??
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Jeopardy thread- LETITSNOW
He said the same thing a couple days back after there was a Canadian question that favored Mattea
She was a good champ. I found her weird hand gestures mesmerizing
Hard to believe Ken always led going into final. I had a feeling mattea was gonna lose w the score going into final, but I didn’t expect the question to be so esoteric

I know that - not any news at all. They also can't reveal any outcomes before they air as part of the contract.
So I also watched GMA interview and it was talking only about the close win by the $1 on day 17 and her Canadian highest winnings and longest streak of wins by a Canadian...

Both he and Mayim have too much personality IMO--some people like, some are turned off. Alex's strong point was that he was bland without being dull. As much media attention as he got in the last few years of the show you never really paid him much attention during the episodes. I skip Ken's intros and I've always skipped the contestant interviews, but I do like his occasional offhand unscripted remarks and that he is somewhat lenient on things like forgetting to put the answer in the form of a question.

the linked article said Ken J is going on hiatus- here is a somewhat more readable website discussing it- https://tvshowsace.com/2022/05/08/je...-mayim-bialik/ Says he'll be back on before the end of the season, which is late July.

I hope he’s back. I think he has been getting better and better as a jeopardy host at blending into the game as he has got more experience. Blossom seems to be moving in the other direction and is much more intrusive
