Stick a Fourques in him. Aspired to be Le Grande Rhone, ended up Le Petit Rhone.

More fuel to my tin foil hat conspiracy theory that they dummied down the answers. They wanted to get rid of her, or at the very least wanted her competition to have a chance at beating her.

I didn’t know they had a tie breaker on Jeopardy. Tonight two tied at 34K. They had a one question tie breaker. I honestly thought they both came back

Seen that tie-breaker twice in the last couple of weeks. Once was on the college jeopardy when there was a three-way tie. It's like NFL overtime and it sucks. They should come back.

Hats off to the lady tonight, sharp cookie.

True. She kind of had screwed herself with the final jeopardy bet. She deserved to win but made an error in betting.

Yep. She had to figure that if the Doctor bet it all she'd have to bet $1 more to beat that. Math failure.

If you spent more time in the greater Big Rapids/Reed City metropolitan area, you might know more of these truly important nuggets of information.

No reason to get (chocolate) chippy with Floyd.

Either way, she won a lot of dough.

Reminds me of drunk Dwags, boarding a canoe on the Pine, and a kid and his dad portaging a canoe to put in. Kid looks at my drunk friend and I and says, "Hey guys, you should maybe have some shoes on". I can't remember if drunk friend or Drunk Dwags says to the kid and his dad, "We know what we're doing". Well, I think we almost drown before we got to the first bend. They were way better than we were and they looked at us so sympathetically it was humiliating. Lesson learned.

This contestant Mattea from Canada is pretty good. Eight day roll now.

I dig Mattea.

I get the feeling she's a "love/hate" type of contestant, but I'm totally Team Mattea.

I like her, but she's getting cocky lately. She also talks with her weird-looking hands too much. Other than that, I'm impressed.

Does she also happen to be of Italian descent? Asking for DWags.

definitely quirky, but impressive for a 23 year old.

Somehow the dude with pink hair made Mattea seem rather pedestrian. And Reya was a little odd, as well.

Almost like it's a new generation of Jeopardy.

When everyone is odd, no one is odd.

Too many Canadians condensed into one half-hour game show will alter reality both perceptually and for realzies.

I was cheering for eraser head, cause his eraser for a head.

Agree, she seems like just a nice girl. A bit quirky, but in a charming way.

A bit too conservative with her bets though. A few days ago, both of her opponents had negative totals, so she had no opposition in final jeopardy. She could have bet everything, but $1 and still be guaranteed to win, but she only bet like $1000 or something. C'mon girl, live a little.

That was a weird night, I'd never seen only one contestant in final Jeopardy (in my long history of watching going back to Amy's first week).

Anyone else impressed with the frequency on Jeopardy with which Canadian citizens (including Mattea) smoke US citizens on US history and government?

Not in the least. One nation takes its responsibility to educate its students very seriously. And then there’s the good ol’ US of A.

Mattea has her hands full in Double Jeopardy.

How bout that $8000 bet in Daily Double?

Wow what a finish!

Onions!

that was very unMattea-like.

Yep. In the end, it made the difference. Like she said, she'd had a good run and it was either going to work or she was going out in a blaze of glory. (not her exact words, but something like that)

Mattea in trouble again!

Robert J Sakimano wrote:Mattea in trouble again!

Going to be some interesting final Jeopardy bets with such a tight contest.

Whoa Mattea, Miami is definitely impressed now

Mattea moves on!!

Floyd Robertson wrote:Whoa Mattea, Miami is definitely impressed now

I am, that was great. I mean, I've been impressed with her all along, but it is good to see her make the big bets when she needs to (like the 8000 bet on the daily double yesterday when the score was tight). She hasn't had a lot of times where she needed to make that decision with it ao close.

Mattea still rockin' it. Looks like she's about to win her 22nd in a row.

Mattea with the Hail Mary at the end!!!
