Title: Worst Negative score on Jeopardy
Post by: CliffColeclough on February 04, 2005, 02:56:16 PM

The girl last night had -$5000 at the end of Double Jeopardy.  Is the the worst anyone has ever had as far as a negative score?

On Sony's Jeopardy board, somebody posted that it's negative $5,100, so she just missed setting the record if that's true.  I've asked for others there to jump in with more details.

On the "Super Jeopardy!" final: At one point, Dave Traini had knocked himself down as low as -6800 (Points, not Dollars). He never got out of it.

From "Inside Jeopardy," Harry mentions someone who passed the test and was put on the show after a lackluster mock game.

Final Debt: -$4,300.  That should be the record, with the tweaking and all.
