John Michael Higgins won Celebrity Jeopardy! today
Although all celebrity contestants on episode 5 of Celebrity Jeopardy! gave their absolute best, John Michael Higgins took the win and advanced to the semi-finals of the competition.
In the first round, the categories were Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Got A Bridge To Sell You, Pitch Perfect, Classic Kids’ Books, Yes, Chef!, and “Q” Force.”
It took time for John and Michael to warm up to the game. The former, however, soon picked up his pace along with Aisha, who earned the Daily Break very early on in the game. After the first round, John and Aisha were leading with 14 and 12 correct answers. While John earned $3,700, Aisha came up with $3,600 and Matt could only pick up $100 with 3 correct answers.
The categories for the Double Jeopardy included Cats Through Time, Biology, Holidays & Observances, Adverbs That Make Your Day, Variety, and Hollywood Reporter.
In the second round, John answered 20 questions correctly and took a big lead on the scoreboard, earning a total of $23,600 from the beginning. Aisha was farther behind, but still at second place with $5,000, while Matt could only manage to earn a total of $3,500.
In the Triple Jeopardy round, the categories were Advanced Criminal Law, A Little Poetry, U.S. Presidents, Of Course I’M Not Breaking Up With You, Music Of Today, and Around Philly With Ryan Long.
In the final round, Aisha and Matt came out strong with 32 and 21 correct answers. All of the Daily Doubles were converted for True Daily Doubles. All players qualified for the Final Jeopardy round with John earning $28,400, Matt at $27,500, and Aisha at $12,100.
Final Jeopardy clue, solution and results
For all the three players in the competition, the Final Jeopardy was an extremely crucial round as there was still competition. The category for the final round of Celebrity Jeopardy! episode 5 was World Landmarks. The clue read:
"Built of more than 18,000 metal parts & 2.5 million rivets, it was the world’s tallest manmade structure from 1889 to 1930."
The correct answer to the final clue was "What is the Eiffel Tower?"
All three players answered the clue correctly and won the money that they bet. John predicted Matt's bet and earned himself a well-deserved victory.
Take a look at the final results of Celebrity Jeopardy! season 1 episode 5:
John Michael $28,400 + $3,000 = $31,400 (What is the Eiffel Tower?) (Semi-Finalist)
Matt $27,500 + $3,000 = $30,500 (What is the Eiffel Tower)
Aisha $12,100 + $12,100 = $24,200 (What is the Eiffel Tower)
Celebrity Jeopardy! is set to return with two more quarterfinal rounds in the upcoming weeks. The next two quarterfinals will feature more celebrities including actress Troian Bellisario, actor Wil Wheaton, comedians Hasan Minhaj, Ray Romano, Melissa Rauch, and Joel Kim Booster.
