Jeopardy! Recap, Winner & Final Answer Tuesday January 23, 2024

In the latest episode of Jeopardy!, which aired on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, three contestants competed in the Champions Wildcard edition. The players were Xanni Brown, a postdoctoral researcher from Cincinnati; Lynn Di Vito, a retired museum educator from Colorado Springs; and Robbi Ramirez, a writer from Orlando.

The game began with categories such as Young People’s Nonfiction, Constellations, Squeaker of the House (presumably about political figures), A “Fast” Category (possibly pertaining to speed or quickness), These Stars Sound Like Cars (likely about celebrity names that resemble automobile brands), and 3-Letter, 3-Letter words.

During the first round of play before the break:

– Xanni took an opportunity to increase their score by wagering $3,400 in Double Jeopardy for the category called “3-Letter, 3-Letter.” The clue asked about melatonin disruption’s role in time zone desynchronization. (The answer was What is Jet Lag?)

At this point in the game:

– Robbi had accumulated $1,400.
– Lynn was slightly ahead with $3.400.
– Xanni was leading with a total of $7.800.

After returning from commercial break and entering into Double Jeopardy!:

– Robbi improved their position to obtain $3.800.
– Lynn maintained her standing at $4.000.
– Xanni continued their dominance with an impressive sum reaching up to an amount of -$11.4000

Two more Daily Doubles came up during this round:

1) In response to another clue involving rhyming verb pairs: (What are Abolish & Polish?)

– Unfortunately for Robbi’s standing score dropped significantly by making use ($5.800) as well

2) There was also a question related to Spanish royalty: (What is Aragon?)

– Despite losing another significant portion ($3000). Yet it seemed like our initial leader Xanni Brown took the risk.

By Final Jeopardy!:

– Robbi regained momentum with a final score of $12,800.
– Lynn accumulated $6.000 during the game.
– Xanni had a total of $9,600 to their name.

In the final round, the category was “U.S. Business Founders.” The contestants were challenged with a clue that included a 1934 note from Babe Ruth to this particular individual regarding hunting clothes and shoes that fit perfectly. Both Robbi and Lynn correctly identified Who is L.L.Bean? as the founder in question.

With an additional wager of $6,600 during Final Jeopardy!, Robbi secured their spot as champion with a final score of $19,400.

The final scores stood as follows:

Robbi: – $19,400
Lynn: – $8,700
Xanni: – $6 ,400

As always in Jeopardy!, viewers witnessed intense competition between talented contestants displaying knowledge across various categories while vying for victory throughout each round’s exhilarating gameplay.
