A junior at Indiana University from Carmel, Indiana...

Sarah Bauer

How did you react when you were selected for the College Championship?
I was so excited when I found out that I was on Jeopardy! I was talking to the woman from the contestant department, and I was like, "This is the best day of my life!" And she was like, "Honey, for your sake, I hope it's not true." But it was very, very cool.

What's more difficult, preparing for finals or for Jeopardy!?
I think preparing for Jeopardy! is a little bit more difficult! There's so much more material! And I guess I've been preparing since I was, like, eight years old, since I started watching the show, so... so it takes a long time.

Do you do well when you play at home?
I think I do really well when I play at home. I play against my dad, and if he didn't cheat, then I would win every single night.
