On this podcast episode of 鈥楾oday in BC鈥�, host Peter McCully sits down with Chelsea Watt, a contestant on the iconic game show, 鈥楯eopardy!鈥�

Watt shares her journey from being a lifelong fan of the show to becoming a contestant, discussing the rigorous audition process, the thrill of being on the show, the unexpected challenges she faced and the excitement of being in the contestant pool.

鈥淥ne of my goals, if there was a Canadian question, was I wanted to get it correct and not embarrass all of Canada,鈥� said Watt. 鈥淭here was a question where the answer was Celine Dion, and I did buzz in first, and I did get it correct, so I was happy with that.鈥�

Listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at what it鈥檚 like to be a contestant on the beloved quiz show, from the quick turnaround between episodes to the importance of keeping game outcomes a secret until they air.

鈥淧eople were so excited for me, and they were so excited to watch it. I was just like, 鈥榶ou guys are going to be wildly disappointed with how this turns out,鈥欌�� said Watt. 鈥淵ou always feel a bit bad that it maybe didn鈥檛 turn out the way that they hoped. I managed to keep the secret.鈥�

Watt discusses her strengths and weaknesses in different subjects or the pressure of living up to the 鈥楯eopardy! girl鈥� reputation at pub trivia nights.

She also shares some of her favorite 鈥楯eopardy!鈥� contestants and moments from the show鈥檚 recent history, offering insight into what makes the program so enduring.

McCully asked Watt about host Ken Jennings.

鈥淗e鈥檚 so funny, really kind, super quick-witted. It鈥檚 very clear when you鈥檙e playing or watching other people play that Ken knows most of the answers,鈥� said Watt.
