Drew went into the game with $53,282, and added a further $26,400 to his pot. Meanwhile, Graham came in second with $11,000, while fellow contestant Erin was easily beaten on -$7,200. After being defeated, Graham shared his reflections on the Jeopardy! Reddit .
"Thanks for the kind words, folks. This was an incredible experience for me, and if I had to get beat, I'm glad it was by a giant-slayer with ToC written all over him. "He's frighteningly quick on the buzzer, and clearly well-prepared, and I look forward to seeing how far he can go!" he shared of Drew's secret skills.
In response to Graham's words, many other fans who'd caught the television show at home admitted they'd also noticed Drew's super-speedy buzzing. "I was rooting for you! But you’re right - Drew is lightning fast on the buzzer. Great game!" one person exclaimed.
"You played well Graham. Drew caught fire in DJ and 33 correct responses is tough to beat," a second agreed. Alongside revealing Drew's speedy tactics, Graham also spared a word for Erin after her major loss.
"Huge respect to Erin, that's a tough situation to be in and a lot of people would have let it knock them down. Instead she dug in and kept swinging like a tough competitor should," he praised. Graham's congratulations ca.
