Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Stella Trout, a software engineer originally from Houston, Texas
Jonathan Hugendubler, an adjunct professor & trivia host from Baltimore, Maryland

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
We are now down to 3 in Champions Wildcard, as one of Cameron Berry, Jonathan Hugendubler, and Stella Trout will claim the last spot in the Tournament of Champions. As a 2-day total-point final, today’s final scores get added to tomorrow’s in order to determine the overall champion of Champions Wildcard.
Here are your stats for all three players entering today’s game:
Cameron:
86 correct, 14 incorrect
6/9 on rebound attempts (on 15 rebound opportunities)
36.40% in first on buzzer (83/228)
4/4 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $17,200)

The Unified Prediction Model has Jonathan as a very slight favorite, but all three players are so close in rating that you can safely say that this final will be too close to call.
I would also like to thank the show for putting up the information about next week’s Tournament of Champions on the website—you can see my quarterfinals preview on Sunday!

Final Jeopardy! Category: U.S. Geography
Final Jeopardy! Clue: The 2 states that border the most others, they border each other along a roughly 60-mile stretch between Kentucky & Arkansas
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: What are Missouri & Tennessee?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Missouri borders 8 states—Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska—while Tennessee also borders 8—Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. The Missouri–Tennessee border itself is due to the Missouri Bootheel, an area south of 36º30′ that was given to Missouri at statehood instead of Arkansas; there are numerous apocryphal stories as to why this was the case.
Even as a Canadian, the “between Kentucky and Arkansas” part of this Final Jeopardy made this a very straightforward Final Jeopardy clue for me; I suspect that this will be similar for many others.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Because today’s scores get added to tomorrow’s final scores (and tomorrow’s scores can be doubled in Final Jeopardy still), Stella has an “effective lead” of $1,400 over Cameron and $5,800 over Jonathan.
- No wagering suggestions will be posted today due to today being Game 1 of a final.
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
