I bet she's named after Hester Prynne. Scandalous.

I watched the show. She rang in and got too many questions wrong. I think she was ringing in too soon because she was beat out by the other guy on questions she knew the answer. In the interview section she said she was a big fan of Moby Dick. I hated having to read that book in high school so I was not a big fan for her.

Not sure what she was thinking on her Final Jeopardy! wager. She could not win so her only chance to advance would be to have one of the 4 best non-winning scores. There is no reason for her NOT to wager everything she had. Maybe her score will hold up but, if she had bet it all, she would have a MUCH better chance of advancing.

The incident that inspired Moby Dick is way more interesting than the book.
