Ann Arbor Woman Unseats 'Jeopardy" Champion

An Ann Arbor woman is the new champion on the television game show "Jeopardy."  
 
Diane Peloquin last night earned  $15,700 to win the night. The Law and social work graduate student unseated  Arthur Chu who had been reigning champion for 12, days. Last night he earned no money and finished in last place.  

The 30-year old Ohio man had unsettled "Jeopardy" traditionalists by aggressively hopping all over the question board instead of closing it out category-by-category. Chu's total take was over $297,000.
