A 26-year-old Atlanta resident who was on “Jeopardy!” last night as a one-day returning champion finished in third place.
Lindsay Resnick accumulated $10,001 when she won the quiz competition in a Tuesday night episode. On Wednesday’s show, Resnick competed against university administrator Gilbert Collins from New Jersey and editor Flora Leen from California.
“... Gilbert, the champion, is probably the smartest person I've ever met,” Resnick said. “Jeopardy! was the greatest experience of my life and I'm so lucky I got to be a part of it.”
