Arthur Chu barely had enough time to reflect on his 15-minutes of fame before another Jeopardy champ started steamrolling the competition and breaking records.
Chu has been surpassed by Julia Collins, who quickly leapfrogged Chu in total wins and as after the May 30th episode, she overtook Dave Madden for #2 most wins all-time with 20 consecutive wins. This was just over two months after Chu’s divisive run on — no doubt one of the most popular stretches for the trivia game show.

Though she’s moving up the Jeopardy Champions List and surpassing Kelley and Chu, when looking at EPW (Earnings Per Win), Collins is near the bottom of the list when looking at the most winningest players in terms of earnings and wins (those with >5 wins*).
