Mattea added that although it was not a long-time dream for her, it was something she wanted to pursue during the pandemic.

On the set of Jeopardy, Mattea revealed that she would be using the money in covering up the debt of her student loan. She also revealed that she would like to go back to school to take another student loan.
She is annoying as hell
you are anti-gay, she is a lesbian, a protected lifestyle
Saying she is annoying has nothing to do with your attitude towards gays.
I also find some of her gestures annoying, and I didn’t even know she was gay until I read it here.
BTW: I have a lot of “gay” friends.
Gay or not, were I a single young man I would love to date her. She is engaging.
b.s. Just because something thinks she is annoying, has absolutely nothing whatsoever with her sexual preferences.
Her hand gestures drive me crazy. I would compare her to Sarah Levy on Schitt’s Creek. Is it a Canadian thing?
yes. all 30 Canadians do exactly the same thing. what? there are almost 38 million? and all have those hand gestures?
what a silly comment.
I have a lot of Canadian relatives (my mother was born there), and have spent a lot of time with them…but don’t recall seeing hand gestures like this.
Well,You guys all do say “Ah” after every sentence.Eh?
Well you guys always have to declare whether you are a Democrat or Republican before speaking.
fuck off she’s 23
Let me guess. you are american and live in Florida. numb nuts
Nonsense. She’s amazing.
At times.
No she is not
I would say her 23 day on jeopardy! Was so good
I find her really refreshing, charming, lovely and hope her run is long ! GO Mattea !
I agree.
I agree as well. She has more than paid her student loans off 🙂 Maybe she will still be around for the Tournament of Champions without a break.
Mattea is lovely.
So refreshing to see a Canadian do well.
Blessings and good luck
Good Luck Mattea. You are a breath of fresh air for the young.
Her hand gestures are annoying. Hope she loses tonight. I like to see new winners every night.
you seem very well adjusted. hand gestures? she’s 23
Which gender does Mattea identify with?
why does that matter?
A charming and vivacious young lady who is fun to watch. Her wealth of knowledge is amazing. How she knows so much about so many subjects is frightening, yet fascinating.
Seriously!
Well said, Steve
Her breadth of knowledge & varied gestures are rather captivating. It’s refreshing to see such intelligence & confidence in this lovely, pleasant young gal, a great example for the young. God bless your pursuits, Mattea!
Cannot stand her. She is very obnoxious. I suspect they put sub par contestants against her. Prefer closer games and frequent changes in winners. Hated Amy Schneider being on for what seemed like forever. Will watch again when she is off. I hope she loses soon!
you are just jealous bec she she is 10 x smarter than you are most likely. You are jealous of a know it all. She isn’t at all obnoxious. She isn’t arrogant. She is very humble. It’s amazing all she knows at only 23 yo. Most of the other multi game winners were much older so it makes it interesting to watch her.
Not a good answer
who urinated in your corn flakes?
There is zero obnoxious about her. She has a few quirky habits with her hands and some comments but she is likeable, friendly and above all else she is a good contestant. I like to see good contestants go until someone displaces they thru luck of better skills.
She may be clever- I would never consider her ‘wise’. “Amy Schneider” was a very boring man. Women do not have the Y chromosome. And little children, too, want to be a butterfly or an elephant. But ‘children’ have not been brought to a point of maturity yet. Hopefully, as adults, they will still have an enjoyment of life in adulthood, without laying on the floor kicking their feet and screemig, “I wanna be a butterfly”.
What the hell? What are you saying? Your point?
You are an obvious fool who can’t stand anyone who is smarter than you, which is probably the majority of the population.
She is annoying… faces she makes, hand gestures, and puzzled looks on her face when she answers questions!!! Hurry up and put somewhere that can beat her!!!
Right, that’s what smart people look, act, and sound like.
Not that you’d know…
I agree with you 100%. I’ll be taking a break from Jeopardy until she off the program
I’m with you Donna regarding her hand gestures. I was kind of hoping that last night she would finally lose, but that didn’t happen. Also she makes these little verbal plugs that she thinks are funny…but they are not. Maybe tonight (Friday) she will bid us farewell.
Amazing young lady with such a broad scope of knowledge and instant recall of so many facts. I would imagine that she’s a genius and a fun person to have as a friend. I recommend that Matt Amadio marry her and produce some more jeopardy geniuses. Go Mattea.
I simply love her! I pray she continues on and becomes the all time champion. She definitely has the talent. GO MATTEA, you got this.
Shes winning alot of Money Maybe she have her teeth cleaned very gross
She knows how to play to maximize her winnings. Like a good poker player
Why are people so mean? Go Mattea, Canadians have your back!!
Yes, no kidding! She is a sweetheart as well as a brilliant young woman. Quite interesting, her knowledge answering questions about the US as well as her amazing general knowledge, and then being up against other American contestants who cant cut it so far. Most of us in Canada are very proud of her progress, and we route for you. You go girl!!
Ditto to comments from Trey. Cut out the spite and jealous remarks of negativism.
This contestant deserves nothing but accolades of praise.
I am very old school. Can’t stand the nose piercing as it looks like she has a dripping nose.
She is incredibly smart and must never forget anything that she learns. BUT her mannerisms, hand gestures and comments why she is betting whatever on a Daily Double drive me nuts. I hope her run of wins ends soon.
Mattea is a sweetheart. What a pleasant personality. Very intelligent. Always has a
smile on her face. Keep up the streak going. We are all cheering you on!!!!
Congratulation to you.
Go Mattea!!!
I can’t believe some of you people who are obviously just haters. Live and let live!
Mattea is only 23 years old, and she is incredibly smart! I hope she goes back to school. She is extraordinary! Go Mattea!!
Not all Americans are down on Canadians, you guys are great neighbors. It is a shame your leaders are idiots, just like here in America. Better days ahead!
Go Mattea!
Smart but condescending and annoying – actually quite immature.
First time I have wanted someone not to keep winning to the point where I don’t watch every night.
Aside: Ken Jennings you are phenomenal – please host all the time!
I taught she was Amish, big baggy black dress and those huge balack boots?
She is brilliant and must have a photographic memory. Kudos to her secondary school. She is well prepared.
However, she is getting cocky(pardon the pun). I’d like to see a close match where the ultimate winner is someone new. It’s good for ratings to have long term winners. I like the various new champions. Their personalities are always different. That’s Interesting to me
She needs to spend some money on a quality bra to lift and separate.
She is very intelligent. I agree with others, can’t wait to see someone else win because her hand gestures, pretending to be amazed her answers are correct, odd facial expressions, are very annoying.
Just think. If only straight, ex-military males were allowed on Jeopardy the “comments”
posted here would be very few. I am so old I don’t understand the significance or utility of her nose ring. Nor do I care. However, I find her hand “jesters” pleasingly old fashion. We don’t see that often anymore. And, too, we don’t hear someone on TV confide that they say the “Hail Mary”. Like most people, MS Roach is interesting.
I thought that in Canada university education was free.
Not at all – it may not be as expensive as University in the US, but it is still quite costly. Health care – that’s what is ‘free’ or provided to us through taxes.
We think she is smart and very pleasant. We can not believe she does so well. I have been watching the game show since it started. We try and get the questions and answer them. Amy was also great to watch. I can only say it is a great game and keeps you on your toes. Good luck Matta.
Mattie you are like a spring flower. I know your mother is very proud of your accomplishments. I am not Canadian and I talk with my hands. Good luck. Watch your money and use it wisely. Go Girl!
I like Mattea, I think she’s wonderful. I’m looking forward to seeing her in tournament of champions and later on ABC’s The Chaser.
I really like and admire Mattea. She is just lovely. I like her hand gestures her smile and attitude. That girl is going places she is absolutely brilliant.
Matter is a doll, straight or lesbian she was fun to watch!
She is playing a game, on TV! She’s excited and animated and having fun! How refreshing that a winning contestant on the show isn’t stiff and stuffy.
