‘Jeopardy!’ Contestant On Long Winning Streak Only Has Dark Anecdotes Left To Share (theonion.com)

By the way, I think Deshaun Watson was accused of demanding a Sloppy Tudman.

 

I watched with my son, who agreed with you. We decided to screenshot the guess, enlarge to take out the Harriet and show it to my wife and older kid. Neither of them could read what she wrote.

I do highly recommend reading the Jeopardy subreddit. A lot of contestants post and you get a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

 

Guessing that there was some significant time which passed while the judges figured it out.

 

Exactly. Had to be an edit there. She was way too calm and immediately accepting.

 

Mayim ain’t making that call.
