Gabrielle McMahan's run on Jepardy! came to an end last night with a "gutsy move" in "Final Jeopardy!"
Gabrielle, who had been watching Jeopardy! with her family since she was a little girl, was selected as one of only 15 contestants from a field of 4,000 students nationwide.
Jeopardy! came to Florida A&M University in January to find contestants for its annual College Championship show. There was a 50 question test, a mock game and interview. "Anybody who passes the test I think is eligible and then you know they go from the interview and you know how they think you'll be on camera and I like to think I was just that awesome!" said McMahan.
She'll walk away with more than $10,000 in prize money, some of which she'll use on a vacation and a shopping spree, while piling some away in savings she plans to use to open a bakery sometime later.
