Seattle Has a New Jeopardy! Champ

When we passed our in-person audition for Jeopardy!, we knew one other potential contestant: Emily Thorsley. She's a regular at the Old Pequliar trivia night, and her team (formerly the Laser Rocket Arms, recently the KOMO 4 Problem Causers) has kicked our ass on many occasions. So we were unsurprised when Emily appeared on Friday's show and mopped the floor with Mark Wales, a 5-time champion. Emily's one-day cash winnings total $29,800, but we'll have to wait until later in August to see how she does in her second game, since the season 24 Tournament of Champions starts today. (And we'll cross our fingers for our own chances in season 25.)
