Brian became the three-day winner of Jeopardy! with a huge margin against the other two players. He picked up two daily doubles, refusing to give his competitors any chance to score.

The categories under the first round were Word Puzzles, Ancient Cities, At Threes & Fours, Big American Landowners, Lit-Pourri and Not Making It To The End Of The Movie.

Cameron played a daily double in the round but Brian answered most of the questions correctly, which gave him the lead after 30 clues. Brian gave 14 correct answers and only three incorrect ones. Cameron gave seven correct and three incorrect answers while Eliza answered five questions correctly and five incorrectly.

The final score after the round was Brian at $7000, Cameron at $2,800, and Eliza at $200.

The categories for the Double Jeopardy! Round were State Of The Art Museum, Speeches, Latin Words & Phrases, Be Arthur, Golden Girls, and ‘& Then There’s Mod.’

Brian found both daily doubles in the round and gave 33 answers correctly against just five incorrect responses. Cameron and Eliza tried their best but couldn't get close enough to him in the round. Brian gave 11 correct and three incorrect answers, while Eliza gave eight correct and six incorrect answers.

At the end of the round, the final score was Brian at $30,000, Cameron at $10,000, and Eliza at $2,200.

No one knew the correct response to the final question so Brian took the lead with $25,000 in cash prize.
