Just read the article. This is BY NO MEANS the ‘Dumbest Player in History’ any more than any other player who missed a couple of answers. I really don't get why the Post would single her out like this.

If I was on Jeopardy, with a huge unsurmountable lead, and the final Jeopardy subject was “artists”, I would bet zero, if it was “political figures”, I would be tempted to bet.

They aren’t saying she’s dumb because she got easy questions wrong. They are saying she had a huge lead that was more than four times what the remaining questions were worth, and she bet almost half of it on a Daily Double. She could have assure herself, or virtually assured herself a victory if she didn’t do that.

Not really that dumb when she had a huge lead on the other two towards the end.

Did the contestant know what a woman is?

She would have won by betting nothing.

when it came to the final rounds of the trivia showI wouldn't describe Jeopardy as a trivia show.

Didn’t Wolf Blitzer end up with a big loss in Celebrity Jeopardy?

AS a long time Jeopardy watcher, I’ve noticed a trending decline in quality player as their age gets younger and mine older.

It is not just about winning, but how much you get. If she was doing well, and she liked the category, the Daily Double wager might not have been the end of the world. It COULD have meant that she wanted $10,000 more.
Were THESE people any better?

I once watched Wolf Blitzer fail to figure out and go through a turnstile at a Washington DC office building. The Rent-a-Cop had to get up from his comfortable chair and help him through it.
