Julia Collins Loses On 'Jeopardy!', Holds No. 2 Spot For Most Consecutive Wins (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/02/julia-collins-loses-on-je_n_5434745.html)

Well, she had a good run. I tried playing the Jeopardy qualifier a few years back but could not get the computer to work right. That would probably be too much stress on me though to come up with answers knowing that millions are watching you on TV. I was always discombobulated when called on in law school as well as college. Never been much of a ham in person. Not so many problems at the University of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management as that was a very nurturing rather than competitive environment.

She had a good run, $410k is a nice nest egg.

I really liked Julia. I do wish someone would give her a little fashion advice. Buttoned-up sweaters are not the best look for such a pretty girl.

This is strange. I had my DVR set to record Jeopardy each night so we could watch Julia. Last night we were out and looked forward to seeing the show when we returned. I was surprised that no show was recorded. (We have Comcast). Tonight we started watching the show. Julia was there with 2 other contestants. The game was played for a few minutes then they went to the first commercial break. When the show continued after that break, Julia was no longer there and they were talking to one of the men that we saw in the beginning, along with 2 new people!!!! I'm flabbergasted - never saw anything like this. Sure wanted to see her to the end of her reign.

Who cares what she is wearing. Smart lady.

We were rooting for her nightly but after awhile, the game has to be exhausting. She did have an excellent run and sorry to see her go. By the way, the guy that beat her last night was a one-hit wonder tonight.
