In Wednesday’s episode, the Nova Scotia-born won another $20,401 USD.She once again dominated the competition with her winnings doubling that of the other two competitors.The final clue in last night’s episode asked for the name of a war that Winston Churchill considered about 150 years before the First World War.
Betting just $1, enough to win, Roach was the only to correctly answer it, saying “What is the Seven Years War?.”The 23-year-old is set to return Thursday night to defend her title as returning champion.Her seventh win means the Halifax native qualifies to be considered as a competitor in the Tournament of Champions.My sixth win apparently makes me the FIRST Canadian to win more than five games during regular season play.
“Like, the worst thing that happens is I don’t hear back, and the best thing that happens is maybe I got on the show, so there’s literally no downside to taking the test. Then I got the best possible outcome,” she said.That best possible outcome — so far — is the ability to pay off her student loans and a chance to appear in a future Tournament of Champions game.
Roach will be back on Wednesday’s episode to defend her title of returning champion. She is set to compete against California bookseller Rachel Skytt and Chicago-based airline planning analyst Adam Wallick.
