(The answer and a few more Jeopardy! secrets are after the jump ...)
Everyone was nervous and excited. The college championship is one of the more popular Jeopardy! shows, and I was on Cloud 9 after the audition.
What was it like meeting Alex Trebeck?
That was one of the questions they asked us in the audition. Because it's a college championship and tuition is expensive, I think they assume most of it is probably going to be for tuition. I answered that I'd buy the pony I always wanted. Everyone cracked up when I said that in the audition. But seriously, I haven't traveled as much as I'd like, so I'd probably use some of the money to travel to places like New York, the Gulf Coast, maybe even Europe. I'm a bit of a foodie, so I'd visit some foodie places.
What's your favorite thing about ASU?
I haven't had a professor who didn't really care. All the teachers I've had really care about the students and the material.
Watch ASU senior Marshall Flores compete on the Jeopardy! College Championship on Thursday, November 11, at 4:30 p.m. PST on ABC 15.
