Hello! I got curious and wanted to build a visualization for winning streaks on Jeopardy, since there seem to be so many long ones lately.

I pulled data from J! Archive, wrote a little Python script to parse it, and then put together this visualization using p5.js. The darker the blue is, the longer the streak was.

Note that this only counts "regular season" games, and not special tournaments that Jeopardy has every so often. That's why each some of the seasons are much shorter than others.

Hope you find it as interesting as I did making it!

Fantastic visualization. Congrats!

Funny how Ken's season has the least amount of streaks.

Funny the person that takes out a long streak holder doesn't manage a long streak themselves

So true! Wonder what the longest one of those streaks is

I wonder what happened last season that led to all those long streaks. I watched the games, but still could not believe that one long term champ would leave, and it would not be long before another started a run.

Me too. To be honest, I haven't been a fan of the lack of variety.
