JEOPARDY NOVEMBER 11 2015 TV

So far, in fact, that thereвЂ™s been an entire study on contestants who pitch up the ends of their responses. #Jeopardy #JeopardyLaura- Laura Ashby November 24, 2015ДЄlthough Laura Ashby may be the most high-profile example of uptalk in Jeopardy! history, sheвЂ™s far from alone. ДЄshby is both sharp and sure of her answers, though: SheвЂ™s now a two-day Jeopardy! champ with total winnings of thirty-six thousand eight hundre-eh-hed dollars. Uptalk is most closely associated with the classic вЂ™90s вЂњvalley girlвЂќ speech pattern, and although people of all genders use it, itвЂ™s held against women in particular as a sign of low intelligence or lack of assertiveness - to the point that some say itвЂ™s hurting their careers. But it has nothing to do with her distinctive manner of speaking, a pronounced вЂњuptalk,вЂќ marked by a rising intonation as she ends her sentences. That was established in the interview at the beginning of the show. вЂњWhere is she from?вЂќ people demanded to know.

Question this person has the most annoying #accent ever on tv #jeopardy /0jUAul8kQY- Johnnieroxx November 24, 2015 What the hell kind of accent does that woman have on Jeopardy because I can't stop laughing and being creeped at the same time- Pork n Whisk(e)y November 24, answer who is Laura. #jeopardy- Cliff DeVault November 24, 2015 If Laura's voice was an accent you could send people there as a form of torture. #jeopardy- Aaron Edwards November 24, 2015

One thouhhhsund! This poor lady has quite the accent.

ThatвЂ™s much to the chagrin of Twitter, which couldnвЂ™t handle the вЂњinterestingвЂќ inflection of AshbyвЂ™s voice. Laura Ashby, a Georgia attorneyВ - and, more importantly, the author of a rock вЂ™nвЂ™ roll version of Much Ado About Nothing - dominated the competition on Jeopardy!В earlier this month and was invited back for last nightвЂ™s episode.
