In her latest milestone moment, Victoria, 43, won the World Quizzing Championship.
The annual competition sees talented quizzers from around the world tackle tough questions, and Victoria is the first American to answer the crown.
On Reddit, a fan celebrated: “The Your Jeopardy champion! Masters is now… the world Quizzing Champion!
“With just one point less from last year, Victoria Groce finally broke through, and her fourth Top 10 result earned her the first gold for an American at the WQC!
“Congratulations to all those who represented the excellence of Jeopardy and American quizzes, and congratulations to Queen Victoriahappy and glorious, he longs to reign over us.”
Many other game show fans responded in the thread, congratulating Victoria on her impressive winning streak.
“Wow. I didn’t think an American would show up so soon. What an achievement!” said one.
“Yay!! What a great year for her,” a second social media user wrote.
THE CHASE IS ON
Many fans called Victoria the queen thanks to her nickname on a competing quiz show.
Victoria appeared in season 3 of The Chase, and her name, along with her unmatched quiz skills, led to her being nicknamed “The Queen.”
However, Victoria admitted she didn’t know if The Chase would continue after its final airing in July 2023.
“I assume you may be under an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), but are there any secrets you can disclose future episodes of The Chase, or is the show probably already over?” asked a fan during a Q&A with Victoria on Reddit.
“We’re kind of in limbo! We haven’t been canceled or renewed,” Victoria responded,
“I hope the fact that we were asked to talk about this on Jeopardy! is a good sign.”
Danger! Universe
Danger! it first aired in 1964 until 1975. Then, the nighttime version began in 1974. Since then, many spinoffs of the game show have emerged. Here they are all:
Danger! – (syndicated) 1974 to present, weekdays on ABC at 7pm ET.
Tournament of Champions – 1984 to present, features the top champions who have appeared on the show since the last tournament.
Second Chance Tournament – 2022 to Present features hand-selected non-winners from the previous season, where the prize is entry into the Champions Wildcard.
Champions Wildcard – 2023 to present, features all one-, two-, and three-day champions from the previous season that are eligible for entry into the Tournament of Champions.
Danger! Invitational Tournament (distribution) – from 2023 to the present, features big names from the past invited by producers to compete for a place in the Masters.
Danger! Masters (primetime) – from 2023 to present, features the six Jeopardy! champions competing against each other.
Celebrity Danger! (Primetime) – From 1992 to the present, celebrities compete against each other to raise money for charity.
Pop Culture Jeopardy (streaming) – from 2024 to present, will feature teams of three in charge of pop culture trivia on Amazon Prime, host and air date to be determined
Danger! eliminated specialized tournaments, such as University Tournaments, Children’s Week and Teacher’s Tournament, to move towards a more sporting model, with the Masters being the top of the Jeopardy pyramid.
Other versions of Jeopardy! have also failed over the years, such as Sports Jeopardy!.
Before Victoria’s hopeful words, Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, 50, seemed to suggest The Chase was over for good.
“And our viewers probably remember you from The Chase, where you were known as The Queen,” he told Victoria on her show, before Victoria corrected him by emphasizing: “They are.”
“Ken said, ‘You were known as The Queen on The Chase,’ and Victoria said, ‘I’m still known as that,’ which kind of implied that they had different thoughts on the state of that show,” one fan noted shortly after one danger! forum.
A NEW LIFE
While Victoria’s World Quizzing victory came on the heels of taking home her Jeopardy! Masters Trophy, she recently revealed that she has dedicated her life to quizzes.
At the Inside Jeopardy! podcast last week, she shared that she made a big change after realizing she needed to focus on her health.
“Ten years ago, I took a month off from work that I couldn’t afford to take because I was having migraines basically every day and I wanted to see if anything would help,” she shared.
“I had to stop going back to school. I had to stop volunteering where I was volunteering. Basically, if it wasn’t going to work out and take care of my son, I didn’t do it.
“I returned to trivia as a way to maintain my sanity.
“I couldn’t really stand up and work in the lab, but I could lie in bed and read a book, and that’s when I started getting back to trivia and that’s been a lifeline for me through all of this. .”
