A new episode of Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions 2022 aired on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, featuring three champions from Season 38 of the popular show.
The Tournament of Champions welcomes those players who have won at least four games in their respective seasons. With the ongoing program including contestants from the previous installment (season 38), it featured champions like Amy Schneider and Mattea Roach.
The quarter-finals will continue until next Monday, followed by the three-day semi-finals event, and will end with the finals declaring the winner of the Tournament of Champions.
The players for the November 1 episode included:
- Christine Whelchel, a graduate assistant from Spring Hill, Tennessee (4 wins, $17,640 average score).
- Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (5 wins, $28,627 average score).
- Jonathan Fisher, an actor originally from Coral Gables, Florida (11 wins, $22,042 average score).
Today’s Jeopardy! winner is Andrew He
Tuesday’s episode started off better than Monday’s game. Jonathan Fisher and Andrew He went all in from the very beginning of the November 1 episode and were tough competition for each other.
The categories for the first round included “European Happenings, Slogans & Mottoes, Crocodile Pop, Catch-2022, Plays & Playwrights, Vwllss Hwn."
Jonathan took the lead in the first round by correctly answering 13 questions and banking $8,200. Andrew was not far behind with 13 correct answers as well, scoring $7,600. Christine Whelchel struggled to settle into the competitive mode as she gave two correct and incorrect responses respectively. It resulted in her score going to the negatives, -$1,000.
In the second round, the categories were “Art & Artists, Crossword Clues ‘Q’, He Directed That?, Bridge, I Bid, 5 Hearts.”
While Jonathan was on a roll in the Double Jeopardy round as well, Andrew hit an obstacle and lost $10,000. He found two Daily Doubles in this round, but only one was correct. Despite losing $10,000, Andrew managed to bank $13,800. Jonathan, on the other hand, scored $19,800, while Christine banked $2,200.
The Final Jeopardy was rather interesting. Although Jonathan was expected to win the game, his strategy made him lose his advantage over Andrew. He wagered a high amount, in comparison to Andrew and Christine. Unfortunately, all three players lost the final bet. When Jonathan lost the big bet, he landed in second place, with Christine in third.
Hence, Andrew He won Jeopardy! today.
Final Jeopardy! results today
The category of the final round of the show’s November 1 episode was “Poets,” and the final clue reads:
“Inspired by stories from his grandfather, his "Battle of Lovell's Pond" appeared in the Portland Gazette in 1820 when he was 13.”
The correct answer was “Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.”
It was a difficult guess and none of the players could provide the right answer. While Andrew wrote “Holmes,” Christine and Jonathan guessed “Whitman” and “Thoreau,” respectively.
Take a look at the final results of the November 1 episode:
Andrew He: $13,800 – $1,799 = $12,001 (Who is Holmes?) (Semi-Finalist)
Jonathan Fisher: $19,800 – $7,801 = $11,999 ($5,000) (Who is Thoreau?)
Christine Whelchel: $2,200 – $0 = $2,200 ($5,000) (Who is Whitman?)
After today’s win, Andrew has advanced to the semi-finals and will be competing against one of the three players — Amy Schneider (40 wins), Matt Amodio (38 wins), and Mattea Roach (23 wins).
The player who wins in the semi-finals stage will advance to the finals, where the winner will receive $250,000. Hosted by Ken Jennings, the next quarter-finals episode will be released on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.
The players of Wednesday’s episode will be Brian Chang (7 wins), Tyler Rhode (5 wins), and Margaret Shelton (4 wins).
