i don't ever actively point and make fun of jeopardy contestants for performing poorly, but i can make an exception for tym [sic] blanchard, a self-described crypto and angel investor who in the day of our lord june 20th 2023, went on jeopardy and:
- had a score of zero with no successful attempts at buzzing in to answer a question at the first commercial break
- told his personal anecdote of how he climbed mt. everest with a broken air tank
- had a personal best score of $800 for three questions before falling to -$1,000 at the second commercial break
- in double jeopardy, never recovered from a negative score, instead approaching the bottom 10 lowest scores ever in jeopardy history when it dipped to -$5,000
- fell out of (or, escaped from) finishing in bottom 10 worst scores ever with a final score of -$3,800 and an answering record of 7 correct out of 14 total attempts before being unable to participate in final jeopardy due to having no money to wager
to give tym some credit, in his line of work, at least this probably isn't the first time he ended up with negative money from making unwise decisions
