NEVER IN DOUBT: Toronto tutor makes it six Jeopardy! wins

by


Another night, another win.

Toronto tutor Mattea Roach looked comfortable from start to finish en route to claiming her sixth Jeopardy! victory on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old finished with a runaway $30,800 for a spectacular six-show total of $148,000 in winnings.

Roach, who hails from Halifax, NS, will try to make it seventh heaven on Wednesday’s airing of the popular game show at 7:30 pm on YES-TV.

Roach had already earned a spot in the Tournament of Champions, which features the popular quiz game show’s top contestants.

At the beginning of Tuesday’s show, co-host Ken Jennings said many of the show’s contestants who have won four times eventually bowed out in game No. 5. The co-host said he was beginning to wonder if there was a “four-game curse,” but “thankfully, any fear of that was dispelled (Monday).”

Roach recently spoke of his Canadian pride.

“To be a Canadian on Jeopardy! is always very special. Alex Trebek’s legacy is such a big part of the show,” she told Jeopardy.com. “So, yeah, I’m just glad that I’m putting on a good show for all the folks back up North.”
