The lucky and talented contestant is Ella Feiner, a chemical engineering major from Ridgewood, according to an Instagram post from Princeton wishing her well.
Feiner, a senior, says she first bonded over the trivia show and yearned to become a contestant while watching with her friends during her freshman year, according to another well-wishing post from the Princeton University Office of the Vice President for Campus Life.
Feiner, one of 36 contestants, will advance to the semifinals if she clinches the win.
