Game No. Air Date Final score Cumulative Winnings Notes
1-A May 24, 2006 $7,500 $7,500
1-B June 11, 2007 $7,000 $14,500 She was brought back after taking the lead going to Final Jeopardy!, but both her opponent had the lead going into Final Jeopardy! but both she and Matt, who was in 2nd place, responded incorrectly, allowing Tricia Barreiro to win her second game. According to Kate Zimmermann, Matt wrote to the contestant coordinators, protesting that his first Final Jeopardy! clue in the category Port Cities was ambiguous enough to make his response of "Kiev" potentially correct, and The Powers That Be opted to return him to the show. Karla was also given a return appearance about two months after Matt.
