Ryan Long, 38, (and his beaded necklace) captured hearts as he routed the competition in Season 38. He currently ranks No. 9 for consecutive games won (16) on the Leaderboard of Legends.
Margaret Shelton lived out her childhood dream by becoming a contestant on Jeopardy! Her memorable four-game run in Season 38, which qualified her for the ToC, began when she defeated then-champion Christine Whelchel.
The tournament will begin Monday, Oct. 31 at 7 p.m., when Long goes up against Megan Wachspress, an environmental lawyer from California, and Maureen O'Neil, an executive assistant from Massachusetts.
