There are many big names in Jeopardy history, but one of the most recent to really make her mark was Amy Schneider. Her history-making winning streak of 40 consecutive games began in 2021 and ended in 2022, and she has since returned to the series for special tournament competitions. Now, Schneider has defended herself online after somebody claimed that she was so successful only because Jeopardy was rigged in her favor.
By the end of her run, Schneider became the first transgender contestant to qualify for the Tournament of Champions, which pitted her up against other Jeopardy greats, including James Holzhauer , in late 2022. She would also go on to appear in Jeopardy! Masters in 2023.
All in all, it would seem like there’s no denying her skill as a contestant on the game
