Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I didn't participate in the WQC this year.
Not many people can say they've lost four times on Jeopardy!.

Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I went from being chopped liver to being an appendix. Is that a promotion or a demotion?

Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I'm not too keen on older players but I should have remembered Christine. I also forgot to include Kyle Kahan and Chelsea Cohen from Season 33, if it is her.

Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I think I remember a Dino Alexander appearing on last year's (or the one before's) list. Same guy that was on J! earlier this season?

Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I assume that the Raghuveer Mukkamalla who scored 107 is the same guy who made the website for tips about how people who didn't grow up with quizbowl should prepare for Jeopardy!. I'm pretty sure that he recommended children's books as they had a lot of surface knowledge. I think he was on to something. It looks like you've already listed all five former J! contestants who were in East Lansing with me and two other show hopefuls.

Re: Jeopardy! Players on the WQC Rankings
I found a John Baker from Season 13, but the name is way too common for confirmation.
