US Edition‘Jeopardy!’ Contestant Speaks Out After ‘Nail-Biting’ Game
- On Wednesday, March 26, politics professor Josh Weiker from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, with a three-day total of $54,001, competed in his fourth *Jeopardy!* game against Melanie Hirsch from Silver Spring, Maryland, and John Rindone from Brooklyn, New York.
- The contestants shared personal anecdotes, including Hirsch revealing her participation in musical theater during law school and Rindone sharing his family's experience with pancreatic cancer, similar to that of former host Alex Trebek.
- Melanie Hirsch initially gained a substantial lead, having $6,800 by the end of the first round and $12,000 by the last question, but ultimately lost her advantage due to rough Daily Doubles.
- Despite studying *Mutiny on the Bounty*, Hirsch was unable to recall Bligh's name within the 30-second time limit during Final Jeopardy, later writing, "My only regret is that I forgot to write in a shout-out to my kids in my final answer."
- Josh Weiker incorrectly answered the final question but still won his fourth game with $5,201, bringing his total winnings to $59,202, while Hirsch, who went from first to third place, expressed that despite her disappointment in losing, she was happy for the experience and losing to a nice multi-day champion, and she spoke out about the game on a platform.
