Jeopardy! Megathread

Agree with the poll and the above posters that Jennings is likely to get the permanent nod.  He did well, and his intimate ties with Jeopardy always made him the probable choice. 

My personal favorite is Mayim Bialik.  She stood out as the intellect that she is--and she came across as enthusiastic and gracious throughout her tenure.

Amy continues to do well during the show but has missed the last two Final Jeopardy! questions and has lost sizable wages--resulting in merely mortal payouts.

She was close to losing the lead late in the second round yesterday when the other contestant hit the Daily Double and made a bet to pull ahead if correct.  But she missed the question and fell back, and Amy was never threatened after that.

Mattea Roach pulls it out in Final Jeopardy after being behind the whole game--23 day streak with close to $600,000 in total winnings.  Now in 5th place overall in wins and money earned.

Amazing win tonight for Danielle Mauer of Peachtree Corners, GA!  Gets the Final Jeopardy question with the Atlanta touch to beat out Mattea Roach.

And once again, Jeopardy has another super long streak winner--Ryan Long, who won his 13th game in a row and is now in the Top 10 overall. 

Looks like Jeopardy is doing well in the post-Alex Trebek era with its players and the amazing streaks (not so much the hosts).  And Ryan is another very interesting personality--like Amy and Mattea earlier this season.

There's quite a bit on social media about Sadie Goldberger getting robbed in Final Jeopardy.  Not the greatest penmanship in the world, but I've seen worse. 

Seems like Mayim made a very quick judgment against her.

Wouldn't be surprised if they invite/have invited Sadie back for another run.
