Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the January 24, 2024 game of Jeopardy! UK, especially for those of you watching delayed or on-demand. This page will be updated during each commercial break as the show airs.

Today’s contestants:

Emily Lloyd, a teacher from Pontypool, Wales

Emily Lloyd on Jeopardy! UK

Dean Strachan, an economist from Southgate, London

Dean Strachan on Jeopardy! UK

Emma Laslett, a disability benefits officer from Milton Keynes (3-day total: £10,999)

Emma Laslett on Jeopardy! UK

Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Emma Laslett is now a 3-day champion, having won a quid shy of 11,000 over her three victories. Today, her challengers are Southgate’s Dean Strachan and Pontypool’s Emily Lloyd. As I’ve mentioned in a recent editorial, any champion’s chances of defending are probably lower in the UK than in the US just because there are 30 extra clues available for a challenger to find their footing on the buzzer!

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Fans are reminded that complaints regarding whether contestants phrased in the form of a question are against the Site Comment Policy, and such infractions, if they do occur, are only a penalty offense in Double Jeopardy.

  • Of course Dean made a good Final Jeopardy bet, and that made him champion today. (He pretty much had to, considering his interview subject.)

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Emma £3,450 Dean £2,550 Emily £175)

Emma: Cover bet over Dean is £1,651. However, Dean said he taught game theory, which means he is very likely to make a small bet here. If you bet £149 or less, you can counter that. (Actual bet: £1,651)

Dean: Limit your bet to £750 to win if Emma is incorrect. (Actual bet: £275)

Emily: Bet whatever you like. (Actual bet: £175)
