At the same time, fans of the show are wondering about history-making winner Amy Schneider, and what she is doing with her Jeopardy! earnings. Here’s what she said!

Some people just can't handle change. What @missmayim has introduced is simply logical. If the second round is Double Jeopardy, than the first round must be Single Jeopardy, and they are both part of a whole, which is @Jeopardy #NewBigFan #LoveBlossom #Jeopardy
