On Friday’s Halloween-themed episode of Jeopardy!, pastor Christopher Tillman returned to defend his title as champ after delivering a stunning upset against three-time winner Aaron Levine in Thursday’s game. As Tillman looked to add to his one-day take of $16,000, did he hold onto the podium for a second victory, or did a new crop of contestants scare up a win and end his reign before it even began?
New contestants at the podiums included orchestra manager and composer Robbie Ellis from Chicago, Illinois, and graduate student Siobhan Hickey from Frederick, Maryland. Were there treats in their future?
