JEOPARDY! fans have likened the game show champion Hannah Wilson to past Jeopardy superstars on social media.
Jeopardy! contestant Hannah Wilson became a six-time winner of the show after she beat a new set of competitors on Wednesday's episode.
Hannah has been on a winning streak this week, and fans have taken notice.
During today's show, she made it to the last round with $23,000.
Had she not waged $7,000 for the final question, which she was unable to answer, she would've potentially pocketed over $23,000.
Instead, she lost the $7,000, ending Jeopardy with $16,000.

Even after losing a chunk of her winnings, Hannah still had more than her competitor Brad.
He earned only $1 after he bet $6,399 of his $6,400 on an answer to the final round question that was wrong.
Hannah has truly impressed fans, causing some to hold her in high esteem as an opponent.
One person commented under the episode shared on YouTube: "That Hannah is proving to be a formidable champion.
