Amy Schneider Jeopardy Stats

Wednesday, November 17, 2021 has to be a historic date in Amy Schneider’s life. It was her first Jeopardy game and the 6th game for 5x champ Andrew He, who was on quite a roll. Andrew had won $157,365 up to this point and, in this game, had a $7,200 lead over Amy going into Final Jeopardy! Amy won that game because she was the only player to get Final Jeopardy! correct. Amy won every game the rest of the week. Here are some quick statistics on those games

Jeopardy! champs, week of November 29, 2021

In Games 9 to 13, Amy had 4 runaway games. Game 10 was not a runaway; however, Amy was in the lead going into FJ! She bet enough to beat her challengers if right and she was right. Amy’s winnings went over the half million mark by the end of Game 13. Jeopardy! had a 2-week Professors Tournament on tap so we had to wait until December 20 to see Game 14.

Jeopardy! champs, week of December 20, 2021

Amy’s first game after the Professors Tournament was not a runaway. Amy was not the only one to get Final Jeopardy! right either, but the only player who had enough money to beat her got Final Jeopardy! wrong. The next 4 games were runaways and Amy took a giant step money-wise, with her $536,400 winnings (after Game 13) zooming up to $706,800, a $170,400 increase.

Jeopardy! champs, week of December 27, 2021

In the last week of 2021, we watched Amy Schneider buzz the year out a 23x champ with winnings of $855,600. At this point, it’s tough to tell how many games will take her over the million mark. Amy has $29,799 more than Matt Amodio had when he won his 23rd game. It took Matt 5 more games to hit a million. If we’re going by that and allow that Amy averages more than $30,000 a game, four good games would do it. Of course, one good game for a challenger could send Amy home.

Jeopardy! champs, week of January 3, 2022

Amy rang in the New Year with a strong showing in her first three games, all runaways. On Thursday (just like the previous week), she didn’t have a runaway. The one player who could beat her got Final Jeopardy! wrong. The next day (Fri January 7, 2022), Amy broke the one million dollar mark.

Jeopardy! champs, week of January 10, 2022

The fifth consecutive week of five full games was a rough one, more so on the challengers than on Amy. But Amy didn’t have an easy time of it either. She got 4 out of 5 Final Jeopardy! answers wrong and she made big bets on the ones she missed. However, each game was a runaway so she won each game and scooped up $92,200 for the week.
