What's the best part about being on Jeopardy!?
Um... Well, I've wat--I've just really wanted to watch it. Like, I always keep--keep--I always keep track of my score when I'm watching it, and it's just, like, kind of a dream come true to be able to, like, meet Alex and actually answer the questions in the real game, so that's probably the best thing... about that...
What's the coolest thing about being smart?
It's kind of like--you get, like, respect. Like, I go to, um, a, um, GNT school, um, but, I'm, like, I'm really good at math. So everyone's, like, "Oh, is", goes to, like, "Cerulean is going to solve this," and it's k--it's kind of fun, it's kind of nice to, um, just be respected by people.
How long have you been watching Jeopardy!?
Well, I--I really started only about, like, three years ago, but I've kept, li--um--but--like--I probably watched consist--like every--most--practically every show for about one and half years, and I would--and I keep track of my score usually, so, that's, like, how long I've been doing that.
