Has anyone been watching Julia Collins these past few weeks? She’s been unstoppable!
She became the winningest female contestant in both games and money some time ago, and her win yesterday tied her for most consecutive non-tournament games won all time at 19, and put her past the $400,000 mark in the process. If she wins tonight she will become sole holder of the second longest winning streak, which, since no one will ever beat Ken Jennings, is really as good as first place, reasonably speaking.
And it seems like every game is a runaway for her, so who knows how much further she might go?

I haven't been watching but I might now. That's cool! And thanks for sharing the "Battle of the Decades" too. I enjoyed watching those.

I only know about it because a friend of a friend went up against her in her 18th win. He lost.

She did it! Second most consecutive wins at 20 and counting.
It was a well earned one too, the first game in some time where it was actually in question if she would win.

Yeah, she was awesome. She'll still have a hefty sum after taxes!
Jeopardy! in general is awesome too. I love to watch when I'm home, and my father and I can often be found shouting the answers at the tv screen lol.
