The winner

A while back I grumped so much about Jeopardy's stunts that I feel a little guilty about the contestants on the show's teen tournament.

So I'll try to make up for my churlishness with an entry on the tournament winner, Claire Sattler. The 17-year-old high school senior took home a hundred grand, though the linked story notes that California has already relieved her of seven thousand, and the feds have yet to be heard from. No matter, she'll still have a nice nest egg for college, where she plans to major in biomedical engineering.

That sounds like a pretty tough major, so she'll probably need all her Jeopardy smarts. She did miss the final clue of her last ep: "It's the official fruit of the District of Columbia." Remember those cherry blossoms?

But Claire was so far ahead of her competitors that she wagered nothing and coasted home with the big money. Good luck on her future endeavors.
