‘Jeopardy!’: Dargan Ware Addresses Where He Went Wrong After Wildcard Loss
Dargan Ware, a 49-year-old lawyer from Alabama, reflected on his overconfidence and composure loss during Jeopardy!'s Champions Wildcard, after winning $47,801 in initial games.
- On January 5, Dargan Ware competed in the Champions Wildcard against Stella Trout and Bill McKinney, finishing with $2,200 and not advancing to the semi-finals on Monday night.
- Entering the tournament over-confident, Ware later said he buzzed too much and lost composure after the first round, which cost him in Double Jeopardy.
- After 30 years, Ware finally earned a spot, having first tried out in 1996 and taken the contestant test 25 times; he prepared by reading archives and making flashcards, winning $47,801 in October.
- After the match, Ware said he was grateful for the experience despite the loss and encouraged others to try out for Jeopardy!; the Champions Wildcard continues this week with new contestants.
- Ware, 49, is a consumer protection lawyer with Davis and Norris, and is working to publish a sequel to The Legend of Colgan Toomey after a long journey, having taken 25 contestant tests.
