“I thought I was destined to lose, so I just did my best”
“I think it really helped that I let go of winning. I was so Zen-like and happy.” Photo: Casey Durkin/Sony Pictures Television What is … a yellow-hued defeat? After winning an astounding 40 games, amassing over $1.3 million in winnings, and cementing her status as an all-time Jeopardy! legend, Amy Schneider was defeated on Wednesday’s episode by Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago with impeccable taste in eyewear and zippy buzzer skills.
Since Jeopardy! films five episodes a day, I watched Amy play two games before I taped my own episode. She crushed them. I mean, I think those were the two most dominant performances in her run. She destroyed them all. I was shocked by how good she was. So I was watching her and thought, She’s beatable. Random chance plays a huge role in the game. Inevitably, something will happen and she’s not going to make it.
I found it interesting that both you and Emma Boettcher, the woman who defeated James Holzhauer during his run, both work as librarians. What is it about the profession that helps you excel at Jeopardy!?
