Jen Jazwinski of Algonquin, who called her appearance on Jeopardy! so stinking fun, saw her run come to an end Monday. The youth services librarian from the Algonquin Area Public Library District entered Monday s show with $59,201 in winnings in her first two appearances that aired last week, but came up short in her third matchup.
Jazwinski trailed by $4,000 after the first round to Tim Moon, an attorney from New York. Moon found all three Daily Doubles in the game, answering them all correctly to take an $8,600 lead heading in to Final Jeopardy.
Both Jazwinski and Moon correctly answered the final question in the category College Life, but the margin was too much for Jazwinski to make up, and she lost by $1,000. Jazwinski added $2,000 to her total winnings with the second place finish.
