End of the Streak[]

She was defeated by Danielle Maurer on May 6, 2022. Mattea held a solid lead throughout most of the Jeopardy round, but her lead diminished after Danielle converted a $2,800 Daily Double, leading to Mattea having just a $2,200 lead after the Jeopardy round. In Double Jeopardy, both contestants found and answered correctly one Daily Double each, but Mattea wagered just $3,000 on theirs compared to Danielle’s $5,000. Mattea still held a commanding, but not insurmountable lead, of $19,200 to $11,400 after the Double Jeopardy round.

The game was a crush game, meaning if Mattea made the standard cover bet ($3,601) the only chance Danielle had of winning was for her to get the question correct and Mattea to miss it. Danielle wagered $4,200 to pass Mattea’s incorrect score with a standard cover bet by $1, and got the question correct while Mattea missed it. This spawned heavy controversy, with some wondering why Mattea made that specific wager, and others claiming it was rigged in Danielle’s favor, since the Final Jeopardy question was about Danielle’s home state of Georgia.

Danielle would end up winning her second game the following Monday. She would, however, lose her third game, and that week saw the debut of 16-day champion Ryan Long.
