Graduate of East Lake Academy Competes on ‘Teen Jeopardy’

happy for the opportunity to appear on the show and that, if she did not make it, she could always try
again next year.
Isabella also <strong>of</strong>fered a little insight as to what Jeopardy is really like behind the scenes. “The show is a lot
more produced than it looks on TV, and there was a lot going on behind the scenes. Alex [Trebek]
sometimes messes up a clue, so during the commercial breaks he does voice overs and rerecords a
bunch <strong>of</strong> them… They also turn the contestants around from all the scores because they may have
something pop up on accident the producers don’t want us to see.”
On a final note, Pagano mentioned that – while Jeopardy was a lot <strong>of</strong> fun – it was significantly more
challenging than school. This, she states, has given her the confidence to move forward in her studies
this year.
