IMO, this was a wonderful shared experience - there aren't many of those these days without some significant downside.

Of course, but when you go into final jeopardy behind, you hope that you know the answer and your opponent misses it. But since all three got it right, it would qualify as a rather easy one.

There are nearly two full pages in today's NY Times about yesterday's game and a profile of Emma Boettcher. It's a tribute to Jeopardy that a game show garners so much attention. It's worth reading to see the laser focus Emma had getting on the show and preparing for it. And the result was one of the most historic wins in the show's history. I like a good story and this certainly is one.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how long she'll last?

...or does our 'spoiler' already know?

How did she miss Woody Guthrie? Sheesh. She would have lost anyway, as the guy in the middle had a little more money going into the final. There's only one James Holzhauer.
