With her unique style of dressing and quirkiness, she managed to steal the attention of the Jeopardy fans and they are loving enjoying her stay on the show. As evident from the social media posts, so many viewers want her to keep winning and make her way to the Tournament of the Champions round.
Early Life
By looking at her appearance, we can assume that Margaret Shelton is surely in her early 50s. She developed her southern accent while growing up in Drew, Mississippi but now resides in Pittsburgh and she is the daughter of Vernon Shelton. If we take a look at her education then, she went to North Sunflower Academy, Mississippi, and acquired a Delta Gamma, Phi Beta Kappa honor and finished graduation from the Sally McDonald Barksdale Honors College. As far as her occupation is concerned, she is a homemaker and no past regarding her can be found. Shelton became the winner on the first day competing hard with others.
She earned the amount of $13,600 and made a total of $16,600 while giving 21 right answers and 4 incorrect ones. On the second day, she rose to the amount of $41,000 including 26 correct answers and incorrect answers. Later, she played the third day with Ryan Pressman, and Louis Dellaperuta and won the amount of $17,200 on a single day giving 15 correct answers and 2 incorrect ones. She still maintained her journey throughout the week and is there in the show even on the fourth day. With her consecutive achievements of four days, she is still there in the show on Friday, 4th March 2022 winning a total streak of $79,000.
Margaret Shelton Jeopardy
On the fourth day, she single-handedly earned the amount of $21,500, and despite wrong answers, she led the day with such an amount. On the set of Friday’s show, she amassed the public with her outstanding amount of $24,000. The only question for which she gave the wrong answer was a character in a book by Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky for which neither she nor her competitors gave the correct answer. So, she had the chance to clear the “history” with her markings and correct answers.
She made her impressive performance while facing off against some serious competitors including Adrian Alcalá (a software developer from Great Barrington, Massachusetts), and Caitlin McHale (a university marketing manager from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). On the fourth day, 4th March 2022, Shelton showed her fear admitting that it feels a little scary behind the contestant’s podium. She said that playing Jeopardy is like getting married to the show, you want to do it but you are scared from inside. On her statement, the host Jenning quickly retorted that “it is something with short commitment”.
