Loving this young girl. Crushed it in the semis of the teen tournament, not a single wrong answer!

Very good disposition and composed.

Also, splitting image of my older daughter.

Maya has had no daily doubles, yet has the highest coryat av.


How cool that the Jeopardy Teen Tournament is represented by three young women from three different Races: Black, Asian and Caucasian.

Probably distinct walks of life too.

Maya is alsoo quikest on the draw.

One is a junior and the other two seniors. Just in case people missed that......

I did not miss that... We can tell by just listenning.

Don't think that is necessarily a big deal.

Well rounded young lady.

She almost blew it betting in the semifinal. She did not have to bet anything to win it.

Watch Emma Arnold - she is also good and fast on the draw.

 
Chrissy 2018-11-20 20:19:23 

Claire won. Maya came last- three smart kids but Claire was more rounded.

Nah...she was faster on the buzzer than Maya.

Emma or whatever her name was, had her forte which was usually just her option both Maya and Claire rung in on the general knowledge category but Claire kept beating her to it.

Plus Maya had alot of ground to make up from yesterday and lost a bit of her composure.

Great game, all well adjusted very likeable yet each of their dispositions seem to coincide with their culture...amazing.

And it's not all about the buzzer. The younger girl had areas she was well versed on that the other two never wrung in on...whereas Maya and Claire seemed to be trying to get in on the same questions.

I dvr jeopardy, so i go back and look at the way the game is played...

It's like the young man who won not too long ago...the crossword puzzle dude, well rounded but extremely quick on the buzzer...then when questions on literature and history came up he was nullified!
