Yesterday was a big day for Amy Schneider. She won her 39th consecutive game on Jeopardy. Why is that such a big deal? That is because she is now in second place for consecutive wins behind only Ken Jennings.
How many games does she have to win to become #1? His record stands at 75, and I don’t foresee anyone taking him down anytime soon.
When it comes to money totals, Schneider is in fourth place behind Matt Amodio. Amodio is the person she knocked out of second place. And since she needs about $200,000 more to take over third place, I think his position is safe.
Am I the only one who feels like this is happening a lot more frequently? Part of the reason is that Jeopardy used to have a 5-game limit. However, in 2003, they got rid of that rule. Do you think they need to bring it back?
