So have you all seen this story about how the current Jeopardy champ, CIndy, is dead? It's pretty eerie to watch a lady play Jeopardy knowing that she only has a few weeks to live. She had terminal cancer and donated her winnings to cancer research. https://www.jeopardy.com/contestant-cindy-stowell quote:Cindy Stowell is an upcoming Jeopardy! contestant who will appear on the show Tuesday, December 13. She competed on Jeopardy! with a singular goal in mind: to donate her prize money to cancer-related organizations. I see it was posted above, but I just saw this.... crazy a new study bible! fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Dec 16, 2016 |

Cindy! was well behind going into Final Jeopardy (she had $5,300 Chelsea had $9,600 and Sarah had $11,600) but Cindy was the only one who got it right. She ended up winning with $8,600 FJ clue: In 2010, in its fourth season, this TV show shifted its primary setting to 6th avenue, 2 blocks west Cindy: What is mad men (+$3,300) Chelsea: What is how I met your mother (-$7,100) Sarah: What is 30 rock (-$7601)

Cindy seems to have made quite a decent amount to donate to cancer research, so that's good at least. Still, her death is quite the shame. Still wanna see how many games she winds up winning and if she's have made the ToC if she lived. I take it Alex has taped an after episode thing in tribute to air after she loses letting people that didn't already know that she passed before her episode aired.

Tony Bennett sounds like he's about to die and he reads the clues way too slowly I hate these gimmick categories. It's just an advertisement.

How far in advance do you think the whole thing was taped? Is it possible she actually dies undefeated? But, yeah, it is pretty sad watching it, knowing she already died. At least she's doing really, really well for cancer research

Man, it must be kind of a hollow victory to defeat a person who was on a five-game streak only to learn that she died of cancer and that you broke her inspirational, brave Jeopardy winning streak. Jeopardy being the show she dreamed of going on before she succumbed to colon cancer, which she knew was going to kill her sooner rather than later. Oh and she's also giving all her money to cancer research... So yea, imagine having to follow that...

Heard an interview with her brother about her being in pain during taping and bracing herself against the podium thing during breaks....jesus to win that long in that condition beating out people who are probably putting on their A game is crazy. They even sent her a dvd of her games so she could watch herself before she died.

You know, I don't mean this in a "I'm Tough and Nothing Can Hurt Me" way, but I really am not sad about Cindy and her time on Jeopardy. She knew she had a certain amount of time left, wanted to compete on Jeopardy, and then totally rocked it.

Haverchuck posted:oh nice. I was wondering about that and I'm glad she got to see her shows Yeah, I read in a NY Times article that they sent her a DVD of her first three episodes before they were to air, which Jeopardy practically never does for free. Also, it said that they accelerated the process of her receiving her winnings, so that she could make sure to donate them to the Cancer Research Institute before she passed. Her first episodes were apparently taped on Wednesday, so she had to fly home and then back next week for the episodes aired this week, which gave her time to recover from a medical complication (blood infection, I think?) that she experienced on that first day. But to have played that well while she was dealing with that, way to go. I missed the episode where she lost, but I did catch Alex's tribute to her after the show posted online, as well as the tribute video Jeopardy posted on their website.
