After Jeopardy!'s October 15, 2024 episode, fellow player Zoe Grobman took to Reddit to share how her game went. She shared her thoughts via a Reddit discussion board, where the therapist shared her thoughts about her fellow "genius" champion, Rishabh Wuppalapati.
Tuesday's episode of Jeopardy! featured three participants: Zoe Grobman, Rishabh Wuppalapati, and Eamonn Campbell (returning champion). While each of them played an exciting game, later that day, Zoe shared her thoughts on Rishabh, a fellow player who won a staggering $22,201 while she was at $19,601.
Referring to Rishabh Wuppalapati, Jeopardy! player Zoe dedicated a detailed post, to which many fans reacted and replied with their thoughts.
The discussion started with Zoe mentioning that she hadn't yet watched that day's episode of Jeopardy! She then shared her thoughts on the particular episode.
"After watching everyone play the practice games I knew there were two players I really didn't want to face: Eamonn and Rishabh. This was only further cemented during the first game when Rishabh was getting all the answers in the green room. So of course I faced both of them..."
She continued,
"An incredible coincidence that also sadly ensured that I don't get the hometown glory in either place. And as Ken asked after the game, no I had never heard of the dance he did."
Further, Zoe added six more points to her discussion thread on Reddit, in addition to the two mentioned above, and talked about various things. She shared how, despite having attended the same high school, she and Rishabh had never met.
Throughout the Reddit discussion, @theraquizt by Zoe Grobman shared more about the practice games and her "studying buzzer technique."
Zoe also shared how Nelson Mandela has been her "persona H&R Block." The therapist from Philadelphia also chimed in on the prominent "Pythagorean Triple" and more.
Her Reddit post further read,
"I've also been beating myself up about the $1600 math clue I miffed. I saw the multiplication sign but 9-16-25 is such a prominent Pythagorean Triple that my brain just went on autopilot. Ken did compliment my speed on the $2000 clue though which definitely made me very proud."
About Rishabh's answer, Zoe added,
"I'm not sure if It'll show up on screen but there was a brief moment before Rishabh's answer was revealed where I thought I might have actually done something incredible and pulled off a come from behind victory, but alas it was not to be."
Zoe Grobman and Rishabh Wuppalapati on Jeopardy!
Both participated in Jeopardy!'s October 15, 2024 episode featuring Eamonn Campbell. It might have been a minute since fans witnessed such fierce yet fantastic competition between the players.
At one point in the game, Zoe bet all her wagers during the "It Stands to Treason," but her bet failed, and she fell to the bottom with $0, having lost all her $2,400. However, by the Final Jeopardy!, she was up and running at $11,000 and turned the tables. Eamonn was at $9,800 then, while Rishabh was leading at $15,600.
Seeing such an amazing game from her competitors, Zoe then took to Reddit and shared her views on how she might have "actually done something incredible." She was referring to the possibility of herself winning the show, which didn't work out in her favor.
She also shared how, after seeing her fellow players during the "practice game," which players she didn't want to phase. They were Rishabh and Eamonn, and eventually, the game took the trio against each other in the same Jeopardy! Episode.
To share more about the episode and Rishabh's performance, Zoe took her to Reddit and shared her views about it. She regretted not getting her hometown's "glory" and referred to it as "an incredible coincidence."
