By Matt Moore
iTonight, Jeopardy! champion Maureen O’Neil tried to make it three wins in a row on Wednesday night. Here’s how everything turned out on another brand new episode.
O’Neil, an executive assistant from Rye Beach, New Hampshire, entered Wednesday night’s game with cash winnings totaling $21,000. While it’s not exactly a staggering amount to win in two games, it was enough to overcome her opponents and advance to tonight’s matchup.
On Wednesday, O’Neil faced off against Sallie Bieterman, an actor and museum educator originally from Seattle, Washington, and Shelley Vinyard, an environmental advocate from Washington, D.C.
