A man from DeKalb County had a short stint on the long running hit NBC gameshow "Jeopardy!" last week, winning two episodes in a row.

This week, a woman from Forsyth County hopes to do better.

On Thursday, Tracey Hollabaugh will make her debut onstage with host Alex Trebek. She’ll be joined by a woman from New Orleans and the champion from Wednesday’s episode.
