The Oakland resident is now in a third-place tie with past champion James Holzhauer for the most number of consecutive games won.

from an unspecified illness. She also was recovering from the trauma of being robbed at gunpoint in Oakland on Jan. 2, losing her phone and ID.Sorry this got delayed! I overestimated how recovered I was from last week's illness, I've still been fairly fatigued the last few days. Anyway, on to the game!In the thread for Tuesday’s game, she kicked herself for her wrong Final Jeopardy answer.

Schneider answered: “What is Rose?” — perhaps thinking of the fact that Merman won acclaim for playing domineering stage mother “Mama” Rose Hovick in the original Broadway version of “Gypsy” in the late 1950s. The correct answer was: “What is Annie?” Merman played Annie Oakley in “Annie Get Your Gun” in the 1940s, while Parker, as a young teen, played the titular role of “Annie” in the late 1970s.

Schneider wondered on Twitter why she had forgotten that Parker was a child star on Broadway and why she talked herself out of the correct answer. She also noted how she went into Final Jeopardy with $42,000, far ahead of the other contestants.— Amy Schneider
