Jeopardy champion Amy Schneider's streak ends after 40 games
Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, Calif., lost her 41st game on Wednesday to Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago.
Compared to recent “Jeopardy” challenger James Holzhauer, known for his flashy wagers and aggressive gameplay, Schneider’s approach to glory was relatively understated. Still, she’s indomitable with the buzzer and has waltzed into every Final Jeopardy round since her first with an unsurmountable lead.
“I had thought that Rhone was going to be tough going into it,” said Schneider. “I loved hanging out with him, we had great conversation before the taping, but I could tell that he was here to play and that he was going to be good. I still came very close to winning, but I did feel like maybe I was slipping a little bit. And once it was clear that he was fast on the buzzer, I knew it was going to be a battle all the way.
“It’s really been an honor,” Schneider said. “To know that I’m one of the most successful people at a game I’ve loved since I was a kid and to know that I’m a part of its history now, I just don’t know how to process it.”
