Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider’s winning streak ended on Wednesday. For weeks, the engineering manager would take to social media to give her thoughts about her performance on the show and what was going through her mind.
In her comments following Wednesday’s show, Schneider included a heartfelt thank you to her girlfriend, Genevieve Davis. “And of course, most of all, I want to thank Genevieve.
When we started dating, she knew I would be on Jeopardy, but she really didn’t know what that meant. She’d never watched the show, so even once I started winning, she didn’t really understand how big this was all going to get,” Schneider wrote.
She added that Davis had to deal with the added media attention and the time apart due to shooting the show in Los Angeles.“But through all that, she’s never hesitated in supporting me as I chase my dream,” Schneider wrote. “I would never have made it through taping without knowing that I’d fly back home to see her afterward, and that, while she hoped I won, she would feel the same about me whether I won 0 games or 100.” Schneider and Davis live in Oakland, Calif., and have a cat called Meep.“I want to thank Meep, for being so cute and fuzzy; she was definitely glad I lost because she hated that I kept disappearing for a few days,” she posted.She also thanked her mother, friends, fans, and the Jeopardy!
