Mattea Roach’s family on her Jeopardy! win streak, and handling public scrutiny

Mattea Roach’s family on her Jeopardy! win streak, and handling public scrutiny

Global News
Monday, May 2, 2022 9:23 AM GMT

Nova Scotia's Mattea Roach will go for win No. 20 on Jeopardy! Monday night, as the tutor now living in Toronto navigates being in the public spotlight.

For the past 19 weeknights, millions of viewers have welcomed Mattea Roach into their living rooms — or wherever they watch television.

The 23-year-old from Nova Scotia has dominated on Jeopardy! and is already the most successful Canadian to ever compete on the program.

But for her family in Halifax, the fact she’s even on the show is a surprise in itself.

Not because she’s not intelligent — her younger brother actually describes her as “super, super smart” — but because she’s such a private person.

“If it was just knowledge-based and there were no other factors involved, I know that she would compete outstandingly and as well as anybody in the world could,” her mother, Patti MacKinnon, said on the eve of her daughter going for win No. 20.

“But there are a lot of other factors with Jeopardy! A lot of other factors, and some of them involve luck. And then there is the public perception, and you’re putting yourself out there in front of millions of people. And I did not think she would do it because of that.”

With 19 wins under her belt, Roach is now tied for the sixth longest streak in the TV quiz show’s history.

On Friday night, she added another $22,001 USD to her winnings, which now total $460,184. That, too, is the sixth biggest haul in the show’s regular season history.
