VICTORIA Groce almost drooled over the celebrities featured in a question during this year’s Jeopardy! Final master’s degree.
The Georgia native was crowned Season 2’s Jeopardy! Masters champion on Wednesday night, taking home the US$500,000 prize.

Victoria played a tight game against her competitors, including Yogesh Raut and former Masters champion James Holzhauer.
During the finale, contestants were given a category titled “The World Revolves Around Jason Kelce.”
Instead of the questions being read by host Ken Jennings, former NFL star Jason Kelce, 36, presented them via pre-recorded videos.
Jason, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles for his entire 13-year career, came up with a suggestion for the 200-point question.
A burly Jason appeared on the screen, standing in what appeared to be his home, wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt.
“In 2023, along with you, Pedro Pascal and Usher were finalists for this honor from People Magazine,” began the brother of current Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce.
“Patrick Dempsey won, but it’s not over yet, McDreamy,” he joked, noting Patrick’s character’s nickname on Grey’s Anatomy.
Victoria responded first with the correct answer: “What is ‘the sexiest man in the world?'”
The winner laughed as she responded emphatically, seemingly extremely confident in her answer.
THE VICTORY OF VICTORY
At the end of the final two games, Victoria was crowned Masters champion and the coveted Trebek Trophy.
Victoria had a solid lead early on, but James quickly caught up, tying the score at $1,400 before losing it in the Daily Double.
The first game ended with James in the lead with $28,309, Victoria in second with $21,400 and Yogesh with $19,200.
Before Final Jeopardy!, the scores were Victoria, $34.00; Yogesh, $15,799; and Tiago, US$8,800.
Victoria asserted her dominance in the second game, taking the lead and winning both Daily Doubles.
Danger! Universe
Danger! it first aired in 1964 until 1975. Then, the nighttime version began in 1974. Since then, spinoffs of the game show have appeared. Here they are all:
Danger! – (primetime) 1974 to present, weekdays on ABC at 7pm.
Tournament of Champions – 1984 to present, features the top champions who have appeared on the show since the last tournament.
Celebrity Danger! – From 1992 to the present, celebrities compete against each other to raise money for charity.
Danger! Masters – 2023 to present, features six notable recent Jeopardy! champions competing against each other.
Danger! National College Championship – From 2022 to present, undergraduate students from 36 colleges and universities across America compete to win $100,000.
Other versions of Jeopardy! disappeared over the years.
Before Final Jeopardy!, the scores were Victoria, $34.00; Yogesh, $15,799; and Tiago, US$8,800.
All three contestants answered Final Jeopardy! correctly, leading Victoria to victory with a combined score of $55,400.
Along with the prize money, the show also donated $100,000 to his charity of choice, Partners in Health.
In second place was Yogesh, who took home US$250,000, while James came in last place with a prize of US$150,000.
In addition to the money, the three finalists also received invitations to next year’s Masters tournament.
Fans celebrated the player’s X victory, with one viewer writing: “James Holzhauer’s reign of terror has officially ended up bringing Victoria the crown (I love James).”
NEVER SO EARLY
After Wednesday’s final, Victoria joked that the top three might get back together sooner than expected.
“I’m just saying it wouldn’t be a bad idea for ABC to do another season of The Chase with these three,” one fan wrote on social media after Victoria’s win on Wednesday.
The Chase, the rival game show to Jeopardy!, features contestants competing against a professional quizzer, known as the Chaser.
James joined The Chase in 2021 and Victoria became top scorer in 2022.
Victoria retweeted the user’s post, teasing a possible return of the ABC show’s three finalists.
