How Yogesh Raut won on Jeopardy! Masters season 3 finale
In the first Jeopardy! round of game one of the season 3 finale, Victoria found a Daily Double and doubled her score, but Yogesh remained in the lead by one extra point. He answered 12 questions correctly and one incorrectly, while Victoria got 10 correct and two incorrect. Juveria was in last place with seven correct answers and one incorrect.
Then in the second round, Victoria got DD2 incorrect, so her winnings came to zero. However, she doubled up again because of DD3 and secured the lead in the round with $21,200. Juveria ended with a negative score of -$1000, which meant she would start game 2 with 0 points. Yogesh was in the middle with $13,000.
The Final Jeopardy round featured the topic " Peoples of the World, " which included the clue,
"Heard often in the film “The Conqueror”, this name of a once-nomadic people comes from a Latin word used for hell."
