    I couldn’t care at all what her sexual preference is. What the hell does that have to do with the kind of contestant she is!? I simply find her soooo BORING!! She’s soooo safe, betting just a few dollars or as with tonight, not a dollar!! I like watching Jeopardy with contestants who have attitude of “nothing loss, nothing gained”. Because of her I didn’t watch for several nights, only to be disappointed that she was still on when I watched tonight! Also, with that being said, I do recognize that “wardrobe” has stepped in!! I was a wardrobe stylist for many years. I don’t care what you put on her, she just is not fun to watch, no entertainment whatsoever!!

    For the first time in 30 years, I had to turn off Jeopardy? after 10 minutes of Mattea’s histrionics. And Ken Jennings seems to be enabling her with all the time he spends with her personally and seem to be approving of her behaviour. The game has lost it’s decorum. Alex might be rolling over.

    Agree about all said above plus this mattea is worst guest on jeopardy. Puke. Think she is cheating somehow. Jennings stinks too,changing channel. Alex is crying!

      Mattea was brilliant and I will miss her unique and refreshing personality! Since questions are written months in advance of the show, there was no cheating. Mattea was a breath of fresh air!

    I’m all in on the strangling idea. With her own limp, flapping hands.

    She does know a lot of things and I’d I didn’t have to see her or hear her, I might like her, too.

    She is very intelligent! Great! I don’t care……….she has to be the most annoying contestant ever!

    I hope she gets her teeth cleaned and keeps them that way! It is hard to look at her!

    I think she took a dive….Good riddance!

    maybe she can take her winnings and go to college. or would she teach at the school. her actions seem almost like a female Rainman. That aside she has to be intelligent, I think

    I think Mattea was brilliant and I enjoyed her unique personality! While I am no fan of her nose ring, I certainly enjoyed her unique gesturing and funny comments. I appreciate quirkiness and also brilliant minds. Everyone is different and Cookie cutter type people are boring. Mattea will be missed since she made Jeopardy much more fun to watch.

    Can’t wait for Amy to get a hold of her in tournament of champions!! Zip tie the wrists.

    Well it is finally over, and she is very annoying and looks like she has metal boogers. While brilliant on other topics , I wouldn’t want her for a math tutor….she goofed big time….
