Jeopardy! Season 41, October 15, 2024 episode featured three highly competitive players on trivia. They included Eamonn Campbell, a lawyer; Rishabh Wuppalapati, a college sophomore student; and Zoe Grobman, a therapist from Philadelphia.
Before the Jeopardy! Zoe saw how competitive and fierce the game could be with certain players. She was talking about the practice games, which showed her two players who could be seen as highly competitive with their fellow players. They were Rishabh and Eamonn.
However, as a stroke of destiny, somehow Zoe got those two against her in Jeopardy! October 15, 2024 episode.
After the game day, Zoe posted about how her game on Jeopardy! went on one of the Reddit boards. The Reddit thread @theraquizt by Zoe Grobman mentioned many things explained at length.
She mentioned how it was an "incredible coincidence" that she could not get the "hometown glory" as opposed to her opponent, Rishabh. She noted that Rishabh was also a fellow student who attended the same high school as Zoe.
Seeing Zoe's discussion thread on the platform, many fans interacted with the post. One of the users, @Neither_Complaint_99, replied to Zoe's post and mentioned shared thoughts,
"Congrats on silver! Also, I think it's more fate than coincidence with you and Rishabh."
