According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/26\/jeopardy-champ-amy-schneider-ends-winning-streak\/\">New York Post<\/a>, the engineering manager from Oakland, California, finished the show\u2019s second-longest consecutive win streak on Wednesday after a 40-game run.<\/p>\n<p>Schneider finished with $1,382,800 in winnings after being taken down by Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>It all came down to the \u201cFinal Jeopardy!\u201d category, which was \u201cCountries of the World.\u201d The answer read, \u201cThe only nation in the world whose name in English ends with an \u2018H\u2019 and is also one of the 10 most populous.\u201d The question was: \u201cWhat is Bangladesh?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Talsma answered correctly while Schneider didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had thought that Rhone was going to be tough going into it,\u201d Schneider said in a statement following the loss. \u201cI loved hanging out with him, we had [a] great conversation before the taping, but I could tell that he was here to play and that he was going to be good. I still came very close to winning, but I did feel like maybe I was slipping a little bit. And once it was clear that he was fast on the buzzer, I knew it was going to be a battle all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really been an honor,\u201d Schneider concluded. \u201cTo know that I\u2019m one of the most successful people at a game I\u2019ve loved since I was a kid and to know that I\u2019m a part of its history now, I just don\u2019t know how to process it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schneider\u2019s loss means that \u201cJeopardy!\u201d champ Ken Jennings will retain his title as the longest-playing contestant ever to appear on the show with 74 consecutive wins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Schneider is being recognized as the woman with the most \u201cJeopardy!\u201d wins despite the fact that the Oakland resident was born a biological male.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When news outlets began circulating the headline that Schneider, who identifies as trans, had lost because of a single question, at least one Twitter user <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1486532212035969030\">asked<\/a> if that question was the classic Matt Walsh query, \u201cWhat is a woman?\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWhat is a woman?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D1kW0G5us5\">https:\/\/t.co\/D1kW0G5us5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stillgray\/status\/1486532212035969030?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The woman with the most \u201cJeopardy!\u201d wins prior to Schneider being awarded that title took time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/who-run-the-world-girls-abc-news-celebrates-biological-male-setting-jeopardy-records-as-victory-for-women\">congratulate her fellow contestant<\/a> earlier during Schneider\u2019s winning streak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years\u2026but it\u2019s been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence, on the show and off,\u201d record-setting woman Larissa Kelly tweeted. \u201cCongratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show\u2019s history!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schneider responded, \u201cThanks so much, I\u2019m honored to be in your company, and I look forward to someday watching the woman who beats us both!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood Morning America\u201d also celebrated Schneider during a news segment, saying, \u201cShe\u2019s well on her way, but I\u2019ve just got one question to ask. Who run the world? Girls!\u201d another host said in reference to the Beyonce song titled \u201cRun the World (Girls).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schneider sarcastically addressed critics in a Twitter post on December 31, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeopardamy\/status\/1476966390959509505\">saying<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019d like to thank all the people who have taken the time, during this busy holiday season, to reach out and explain to me that, actually, I\u2019m a man. Every single one of you is the first person ever to make that very clever point, which had never once before crossed my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
