The Contra Costa Times has an item about Larissa Kelly’s stunning loss in Final Jeopardy! in the deciding game of the Tournament of Champions. Click here. Larissa says, “It’s such a weird, surreal experience. It’s so detached from any part of your regular life. It’s fun, but it’s kind of a blip.”
With all of the violence in Mexico, maybe Larissa should reconsider returning there until things quiet down.
Ah… that would explain her severe look of disappointment- I forgot about that when I read up on her during her initial streak earlier in the season: not only is she extremely competitive, something I love about her- but the Final Jeopardy! subject was one that her husband knows full well- so she was probably more upset with that over actually coming in second.
It’s great to see her realistic attitude- that this is just a “blip” on the radar screen of life, so to speak as she returns to normal life.
I think the greatest part of all this, is that not only is she very likable, but she’s the most winning-est woman in Jeopardy! history and the third most richest contestant in Jeopardy! history- that just amazing.
