The lady from Canada has now won eight games as of Thursday night and shows no signs of slowing down. But as sharp as she is, she made a blunder one day this week that could have cost her the game and I was surprised to see her do it.

It was one of those situations where a challenger had exactly half as much as she did going into Final Jeopardy. I think it was $24,400 to $12,200 but don't quote me.

Anyway, as we have discussed on here before, when that happens, the one trailing should bet it all and the one ahead should bet nothing, so as to create the possibility of a tie. So the challenger made his logical bet but missed the question.

When we got to the champion, I honestly don't remember if she got the question right, but the point is that she had wagered $1. So she still won but I hope by now that someone has pointed out to her that if he had gotten it right and she got it wrong, she would have LOST by that $1 margin.
