Victoria took to Reddit and answered fans’ questions about her big win and the strategies she uses behind her quizzes.
A social media user asked how Victoria studied for her game and what techniques she used to absorb knowledge.
“So I think by far the most important thing is joining a community of people who play things,” Victoria wrote.
The star emphasized that she joined several online quiz communities to help with practice.
“Like, I’m auditioning now because I had friends who did it regularly who lived near me, and it put me in touch with a lot of people who I felt comfortable and connected to and got me excited about things.
“Joining OQL [Online Quiz Community] or something like that is probably the quickest and easiest way to do it – it’s open entry, they’ll match you with teammates,” she concluded.
Victoria mentioned that she tries to recognize that she has gaps in her knowledge and what she does to try to fill them.
“Taking time to let things sink in and being patient is important; there’s a limit to what you can learn at once. For me, I find it kind of liberating that I CAN’T learn everything; it’s literally not a possible thing,” Vitória explained .
“In general, you also want to go from broad to narrow in areas you don’t know much about.
“I personally can’t learn the ins and outs of something until I learn the basics. So if there’s something where I think ‘this is a big gap,’ I try to find an explainer or a really basic resource to learn about and THEN go deeper into it,” she continued.
“For me personally, there *are* things I have no innate interest in… but very, very few that a great writer couldn’t make me understand or why someone else would love.”
An avid user asked how she maintained such a vast amount of knowledge.
“When it comes to keeping old things, I’m a big believer in spaced repetition (I use Anki), which refreshes your memory about things in the same way you would forget them,” Victoria wrote.
Anki is software that provides flashcards full of knowledge to help you study.
THE GREAT VICTORY
Victoria took home the grand prize of $500,000, a glitzy Alex Trebek trophy and the title of Jeopardy! Masters Champion last week.
She won the crown after a tense battle and finished with a total score of $55,400.
Victoria also raised $100,000 for the Partners in Health charity for her tournament win.
James seemed to be the forerunner, but Victoria thwarted his chances.
Just like the semifinals, the final cleared the classification to equal conditions.
The last category featured popular retired Philadelphia Eagle Jason Kelce, brother of current Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, reading the clues.
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.

Other versions of Jeopardy! disappeared over the years.
It looks like Victoria isn’t done dominating the game show scene just yet, with the star teasing another return for the three beloved contestants.
Fans flooded X, formerly Twitter, with praise for the trio as they battled in front of host Ken Jennings.
Some commentators begged for the three to appear on another game show.
“Just saying it wouldn’t be a bad idea for ABC to do another season of The Chase with these three,” someone online noted.
Victoria retweeted the post, teasing the return of the final three on Jeopardy!’s rival game show, The Chase.
Victoria joined The Chase in 2022, while James became a leading scorer in 2021.
