Is she the most annoying Jeopardy! contestant of all time?
Is it an intentional upspeak/accent, or does she come by it naturally?
I was surprised to learn that she's an attorney. Poor jury and judge! I feel like she does it on purpose to get her moment in the spotlight. Surely, she can control it!

What is #annoying?

She's certainly not the most annoying jeopardy contestant ever. Yes, she has an affected pattern of speech. It was hardly noticeable during the interviews. It was more pronounced when she was selecting dollar amounts ending in the word hundredddd. It reminds me of the way Thurston Howell III talked (or what I think of as the country club set). I doubt she does it on purpose now. I think it's a learned pattern of speech and she has it now, for better or worse. I can't believe it generated this much controversy.

First time that I can remember ever thinking if she wins, I can't watch again!

I had to turn it off. She drove me nuts.

I didn't hear it (volume down). However, I would think her feelings would be hurt. But maybe she doesn't care. She'll laugh all of the way to the bank.
The problem is that she's a real person and I wonder what her freinds say about it. Just saying.

Looks like her winning streak ended tonight. Lots of publicity for just two wins!

I didn't hear it but maybe she talked that way for the publicity. I don't know.

Annoyin-gah!
Seemed to me when Alex interviewed her the last time, he asked a question and as she was ending her answer, he'd kind of cut her off.
Maybe I only imagined he would do that to her.
