How Contestant Stories Are Chosen on 'Jeopardy!'
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Pretty interesting. I'll pay more attention to those stories.

Re: How Contestant Stories Are Chosen on 'Jeopardy!'
I don't remember having my story switched (they tried to steer me to a different story for my second game, but I was afraid I couldn't condense it to under 45 seconds), but I do recall that we spent a LOT of time going over them in the green room. Maybe it was being practical, maybe it was a means to kill time and help take nervous contestants' minds of the TV show they were about to be a part of. But I know we practiced on it collectively, then chose a story and did a last-minute go-over once we got picked for a game.
