I agree that it's crazy, which makes people who have won 5+ times all the more impressive. So for people who have won 40+ games that means they played 5 games a day for 8+ days!! (Hopefully they have the weekend off)  Even if I managed to win ONE game of Jeopardy, I can't imagine having the stamina to play back to back games and win. I feel like the stress would be so draining, I'd need to take a power nap while getting my makeup done. 

I read this back when I was watching Amy every day, and it made her dominance SO much more impressive. Like, it's one thing to rev yourself up to compete 1x per day, but to do a whole week's worth without getting rusty... it's incredible. After one game, I'd be absolutely WIPED. 

This is crazy! I'm trying to think if it's better or worse. On one hand, you have the momentum and adrenaline from winning if you continue on to "the next day." You don't have to worry about waking up with a headache or not getting a good night sleep the night before... it removes those pesky variables. 

On the other hand, that is exhausting to have to be on that much! As someone else said, makes me that much more impressed with Amy our queen!  

I was scrolling on the TL and I saw a former Jeopardy contestant talking about how they film the show. Apparently a week’s worth of episodes in a day???

Now I don’t watch Jeopardy because it’s quit frustrating to get 90% of the questions wrong so maybe everyone who watches knows this but this is what he said:

‘In essence, you undergo a NASCAR style tire change as they prep you for the immediate next taping.  You are taken off the stage as quickly as possible, shoved backstage, you change your clothes, go to the bathroom, a cup of coffee, have a sip of water, sit down, get re mic'd up and get your makeup redone and get back on the stage," he said of the intense back-to-back tapings.

He explained you're brought back on stage with the other contestants and they introduce you and say something like: "'This young man had an absolutely amazing day yesterday,' but in reality, yesterday was 15 Mins ago.’

That’s honestly wild to me so instead of just answering and winning one day you literally have to be jimmy neutron smart and sharp to keep on keepin on in Jeopardy.

The way they film Jeopardy is insane
