Diana Peloquin, an Ann Arbor-based graduate student of law and social work, will compete as a contestant on the television quiz show "Jeopardy!" on Wednesday, March 12 at 7:30 p.m. on WDIV-TV (channel 4).

One of the contestants that Peloquin will confront is 11-time champion Arthur Chu, from Ohio, who's adopted a playing style drawn from game theory - wherein he goes after high-value clues in rapid succession - and has consequently become a "hero/villain" among fans.

And earlier this year, Ann Arbor native Sarah McNitt won five games before bowing out in her 6th appearance.

How far will Peloquin go? Tune in to see, and watch for an MLive.com recap following the airing of Wednesday's episode. (Peloquin appears in this video at :46.)
