As most if not all of you know, Season 38 has been dominated by its fair share of ultra-champions (contestants who win 10+ games). We first had Matt Amodio, who was the carryover champ from Season 37, and he won 38 matches with $1.5 million in cash. Then Jonathan Fisher, the guy who defeated Amodio, won 11 games of his own thereafter. We then had a couple 5-time champions in Tyler Rhode and Andrew He.
Then in mid-November is when Amy Schneider made her Jeopardy! appearance, and she now has the second-longest winning streak behind only Ken Jennings. If you have been watching Jeopardy! in recent days, she is basically outcompeting her opponents, especially in the Double Jeopardy! round where she really gets red-hot. While she plays more conservatively compared to James Holzhauer, she has been putting the game out of reach for her opponents due to her running entire categories and more importantly how quick she is on the buzzer. However, she has set a few records, especially regarding female champions. She surpassed Julia Collins and Larissa Kelly in terms of games won and money won for female contestants, respectively. And she also surpassed Emma Boettcher's one day record of $46,801 (tied by MacKenzie Jones) and even broke her own records twice. As of recently, articles have been popping up on the internet about how one contestant who appeared on Jeopardy! when the five-day limit was in effect would like that rule to be reinstated.
What do you guys think of Amy Schneider's run?
