Before the special comeback challenge aired, two Jeopardy! figures exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun their prediction that Rowan will be one of the two Second Chance winners. According to a source, Rowan feels that they can defeat anyone because of the way they play.

In the last game of Season 37, Rowan gave Matt Amodio a tremendously tough game, setting up the first round. 

In 2021, Rowan competed against Matt Amodio and took the lead in the first round with 22 correct answers and three erroneous ones, challenging the eventual 38-time victor.
