Today's Jeopardy! winner, Pete Chattrabhuti

Since Ryan Long’s exit, none of the new contestants have been able to hold the champion’s position for long. Joe Feldmann also lost the competition in his third game, similar to Jeff Weinstock. The June 28 episode saw a new champion in Pete Chattrabhuti.

In the first category of the episode, the categories were The Nifty ’50s, Othello Macbeth or Hamlet Sayeth…, Never Won an Emmy, 12-Letter Words, What Are You Afraid Of?, and Shoe Know It!.

Pete didn’t have a good start as he only made $800 in the first round. Meanwhile, Joe and Marina played a decent game, and their respective earnings were $5,800 and $3,400.

The categories of the Double Jeopardy round were The Map of Europe, Archaeology Glossary, Dual Biographies, Government Programs, Hit Me, and With Your Best ‘Shot.’

The three contestants gave each other tough competition in the second round. Pete covered a lot in this round, which helped him surpass Joe’s earnings ($10,600) with $10,800. However, both men were defeated by Marine, as her total earnings went up to $11,000. Interestingly, all three had a difference of $200.

In the Final Jeopardy! round, none of the contestants managed to deliver the correct answer. Joe and Pete played smartly and wagered $0, while Marina wagered $5,500. The latter’s total came down to $5,500, while the other two’s total remained the same.

Hence, Pete Chattrabhuti won Jeopardy! today.
