for being on a major hit show.  Reality contestants on a show aren't the same as Jeopardy, as they are "characters" on a show, with a closer analogy to an actor of a hit TV show (e.g. for a hit sitcom or drama we might have articles on the character and the actor, in reality TV, the two are one).  Generally, Jeopardy contestants have no national mainstream published sources of information about the lives of the contestants outside of the show, and little independent stuff about the show.  In cases where a Jeopardy contestant receives sufficiently high levels of mainstream media coverage, relating to their show, and life outside the show, they may well qualify for a bio article.    People do follow, in the press, the lives of these reality contestants, like it or not.  Finally, I suggest more recent precedent is to keep an article like this (though not consistently).  But, it probably would be good to discuss at  some mention of reality show contestants
