Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Kevin Iannone, a trivia host from Flagstaff, Arizona
Divya Srijay, a student originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina
Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat & law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey (17-day total: $494,012)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Jamie Ding had one of his better games yesterday in terms of buzzer attempts, with 50, which propelled him to another dominant victory on the show. Today, he goes for victory #18 against South Carolina’s Divya Srijay and Arizona’s Kevin Iannone.
What else is there to play for today for Jamie?
- $5,988 away from $500,000 (which would also pass #18 Julia Collins and #17 Jerome Vered in all-time winnings, including tournaments and consolation prizes);
- $38,484 away from #7 Jason Zuffranieri in regular play winnings;
- $38,988 away from #16 Scott Riccardi in all-time winnings, including tournaments (and consolation prizes);
- $40,353 away from #15 Andrew He in all-time winnings;
- 7 correct responses away from #15 Matt Jackson in all-time correct responses;
- 26 correct responses away from #7 Jason Zuffranieri in regular-play correct responses;
- 27 correct responses away from #14 David Madden in all-time correct responses;
- 34 correct responses away from #13 Julia Collins in all-time correct responses.
I was reminded yesterday that, despite what you see online sometimes, the vast majority of Jeopardy! fans are still cheering for Jamie—they just need some coaxing out of the woodwork. A Facebook post I made asking for fans to say positive things about Jamie was generally successful; over 90% of the commenters followed instructions. It was a good reminder that the negativity is just a loud-but-vocal minority.

Final Jeopardy! Category: Museum Pieces
Final Jeopardy! Clue: A piece of mountaineering equipment at the International Spy Museum in D.C. was used to kill this man in 1940

Correct response: Who is Leon Trotsky?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Russian revolutionary figure Leon Trotsky, one of the two most prominent Russians alongside Lenin until Lenin’s death in 1924, was the most vocal opposition to Stalin, resulting in Trotsky being exiled from Russia in the late 1920s. Eventually settling in Mexico, Stalinist agent Ramón Mercader assassinated Trotsky with an ice axe in 1940. Originally seized by Mexican police as evidence, the axe eventually found its way to the collection of the International Spy Museum.
As someone who is still very year-oriented when it comes to trivia and has associated 1940 with Trotsky, this was a straightforward Final for me; however, World War 2 could certainly provide a red herring for our players.
