During the show’s Q&A section, Ken shared with the audience that Kendra works with kids and has a talent they appreciate and enjoy.
Kendra immediately jumped in to verify the host’s statement. With a smile on her face, she said, “I do, I’m double-jointed in pretty much all of my joints. So, sometimes as an ice breaker, I’ll show them my fingers.”
Ken Jennings Wonders If Kendra’s Students Are Horrified
The Jeopardy! contestant then held up her hands and showed off her talent on camera. The audience gasped as they saw all the joints in her fingers bent at every knuckle. Even the host burst into laughter and asked about her students, “Are they equal parts entertained…horrified?”
Kendra quipped, “It varies kid by kid.”

Ken wondered if there was a phobia for “double jointedness” to which the contestant replied that she is unaware and was happy that this wasn’t a clue in the game.
The host replied, “Well, they wouldn’t tell you- you’d be offended.”
Jeopardy! 2-Day Champ Loses To Stephen Webb
Although Kendra shined in the previous two games for the week, it was Stephen and Jason who ruled the board on Wednesday’s game. Stephen swept through an entire category leaving Ken and the audience impressed. The player even quipped that he would now have to pick something else. In the second round, Stephen and Jason traded the last two Daily Doubles clues.
The data scientist wagered a whopping $7K on the clue that stunned the host who said, “Oh wow! It paid off.”

As the trio entered the Final Jeopardy round Jason had $19,200 and Stephen had $25,800. However, as seen on Jeopardy!’s YouTube clip, Kendra was far behind at $10,800. Although the psychologist had the correct answer, she wagered a small amount that didn’t get her far enough. On the other hand, Stephen got the same answer but with a $12,601 wager that made him the new champion defeating Kendra’s two-day winning streak.
