Okay but she posted on Reddit after the broadcast that she realized partway through Double Jeopardy that this was her only way to win, and started deliberately picking clues/buzzing in to maximize the odds that they would be tied going into Final. Absolute galaxy brain.
The DJ round though, hooo boy.There were so many clues I felt I knew but just wasn’t quite sure enough to buzz, especially after jusssst missing the second DD (if only I had literally 1-2 more seconds!) So after missing that, I told myself to hold back and NOT NEG. I really didn’t want to go red as I found it challenging to get in when we all knew the answer. There was no guarantee I’d pick up enough buzzes to claw my way back. As the game got down to the wire I looked at the scores and realized I didn’t have enough ground to overtake them. And with the difficulty of DJ I thought the odds of me being the sole solve on FJ were basically nil. But they were verrrrry close to one another. So my best chance was to try to force a tie, as them each having to bet it all was my only path to victory. For the last few clues I held back, watching them volley. Then, with two clues remaining the scores were 7200, 7600 with $800 in play. I knew I HAD to get one of the last two $400 clues to leave the right amount on the board. Somehow the buzzer gods smiled on me, and I managed to nab the second to last clue, then didn’t buzz on the final clue, just praying Isaac got it instead of Josh
