The contestant shared that in 1992, she was an undefeated five-time winner of the reality competition series. She achieved this at the age of just 27-years-old. Leslie also held the record for the youngest undefeated female winner for quite some time.When the chaser was made aware of the awards Leslie had in her bag, he seemed confident and said that it wasn't as many as he had. Starting off her game, Leslie put her trivia knowledge to the test at the Cash-Builder round.She answered questions about the name of the holiday the pilgrim sandwich was typically made on and which brand Megan Rapinow became the ambassador for. Though she had a few hiccups on the way, Leslie managed to bank $70,000. She shared that if she won the money, she planned to take a year off with her husband and travel around Australia in a camper van.Facing off against the chaser, James gave Leslie two options, she could either take $10,000 and go one step ahead of him on the board. Or, she could take $150,000 and move one step back on the board. But Leslie decided to stick with her $70,000 and play against The Highroller.Luck seemed to favor Leslie as James had a bad day. Though she was able to answer most of the questions and move down the board to bank the money, James couldn't. He answered most of the questions wrong, which gave Leslie a win.She banked $70,000 and a chance to participate in the Final Chase to win more money with her team. The other two contestants who joined Leslie this week were Anu and Liz. Liz also appeared on Jeopardy but didn't have the records like Leslie.All three contestants beat James in the first round and made it to the Final Chase. Together they banked a total of $180,000. But that money was not theirs yet. They had to beat James on the scoreboard in the final round.Other chasers sitting in the lounge were impressed with the contestants this week. They also suggested that they should've taken the high offer that James gave them during the first round.The Chase airs every Tuesday at 9 pm ET only on ABC.
