I did wonder if you lost because on Monday you stopped wearing your signature sweaters and necklaces! I was just trying to be comfortable onstage. But I feel like I got a little more attention for what I was wearing than was necessary. Well, people talked about Arthur’s clothes, too, because they were always a mess. Male contestants all wear the same thing, which is the same thing every man wears in every white-collar workplace. One that was funny - somebody made a Twitter about my sweaters? So, even in this objective competition, a lot of conversation has been about my clothes, and that’s something that’s a very gendered thing. I’ve gotten some nice emails from girls who tell me they sometimes feel like they have to dumb themselves down. What’s Behind the Unprecedented Run of Female Jeopardy! Winners?Īre you comfortable with being glamorized for having brains? You’re a role model now … I had friends who sent me pictures like that, but somebody I didn’t even know and has other things to do with her time, that was pretty cool.

I try to steer the conversation towards the bigger picture - that I’m in second place of any player who’s ever played. How sick are you of talking about the fact that you’re a woman? (It was John Irving.) She departs the show in second place for most consecutive victories, after Ken Jennings, who won 74 straight games in 2004 she also takes home $428,100 in winnings, the third-highest total ever, which makes Collins the winningest female Jeopardy! champion of all time by a wide margin. That distinction, as well as her cheerful personality, earned her legions of fans, a sharp contrast to another recent Jeopardy! star, Arthur Chu, who was widely villainized during his 11-game streak earlier this season for his aggressive style and rumpled appearance. Vulture reached Collins, 31, on Tuesday morning to discuss her victorious run and what the out-of-work supply chain manager plans to do with her winnings. Julia Collins’s monster Jeopardy! winning streak ended at 20 yesterday, when she let a customarily large lead vanish and then missed the Final Jeopardy clue asking for the name of the author who won an Oscar for adapting his own novel into a screenplay in 1999.
