"Kristin and I are alone together."—Alex Trebek

Ugh, Kristin is so lucky! We would die if that silver fox of a game show host said that we were alone with him. Dare to dream.

But Kristin being alone with Alex meant that she was the only contestant in Thursday's episode to make it to the Final Jeopardy round, which we didn't even know could happen until we watched the video. Apparently if you finish below zero in the previous rounds, you don't move on to Final Jeopardy. Kristin, a returning champion, bested Brad and Stephanie, who finished with -$200 and -$6,800, respectively.

"This was not one of our greatest days," Trebek admitted dryly. We beg to differ. Kristin and Alex clearly had crackling chemistry and since they were alone during Final Jeopardy, it made viewers believe that anything could happen.

Did Kristin manage to win in the end? Watch the video to find out, or just use your common sense. Either one.
