Katie, who’s heading into the Celebrity Jeopardy! finals, reflected on her time so far on the show with a fan Q&A on an online forum.
One user asked what the mood is like after each game as it appeared Christopher Meloni was “genuinely mad to lose.”
The fan also asked about Katie’s game against Dulé Hill and Steven Weber.
“Everyone was nice and respectful but, yes, some seemed a liiittle less thrilled than others,” Katie admitted. “Which I totally understand because I’d be the same way!”
“Dulé and Sherri [Shepherd[ were such good sports,” she added. “Sherri basically talked me off a ledge before my sudden death overtime, and I’ll always be grateful to her for that.”
Katie then revealed that she and Steven will likely “remain healthy rivals” but that Christopher “will never talk to me again.”
Katie went up against Chris in an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! that aired in October.
The two, who also competed against Sherri, were far apart throughout most of the game, with Katie far ahead.

But that all changed with the Final Jeopardy! round.
Going into the last round, Katie had $14100, Christopher $8800, and Sherri $900.
The Law and Order franchise star got the question right, as did Katie, but she messed up her math and wagered only $3500.
This meant she and Christopher tied at $17600 and had to enter into a one-clue tiebreaker round.
The first contestant to buzz in with the correct question is declared the winner, and luckily for Katie, she was the one to do so and won the game of Celebrity Jeopardy!
Of the wild episode, Chris exclusively told The U.S. Sun, at the Global Lyme Alliance Gala, that he felt “blindsided” by the new Triple Jeopardy! round, which was added to make the special an hour long.
Chris also dished on why he thought Katie was able to beat him in the tiebreaker round.
“My fast twitchy muscles in my thumb were not as fast and twitchy as hers. She got the answer first,” he admitted.
“My brain is 15 years older. And I haven’t watched it. I’ve been raising children, so I haven’t quite watched it as I used to.
“It’s alright. I was a little bit out of rhythm, but next time.”
