Andy's Pregame Thoughts:
After an incredibly exciting tiebreaker clue in yesterday's game, today's episode of Jeopardy! features Ron Clarke—whose late-game comeback put him in a position to take the win via tiebreaker—defending his title against Kim Kalnoki and Wesley Yiin.
I would like to mention, specifically to Greg Monson, who was online last night insisting that $1 is "definitely not the play", that I still think he is wrong. And with all due respect to the 3-time champion, I firmly believe that he is either underestimating just how much the future value of winning a 4th game on Jeopardy! is, the number of players in second place who fail to bet it all, or both. Firstly, you have players who think Greg easily could have been a superchampion. While I'm not sure about that, another seven wins are worth six figures in future winnings alone—but there's also the extra prize money available in both the Tournament of Champions and an Invitational Tournament or even Jeopardy! Masters if one does well in the ToC—which Greg definitely is on the bubble for now. However, the other major consideration here is the fact that in the history of Jeopardy!, about 20% of second-placed players in this exact situation have failed to bet everything. That is what the wagering strategists mean when they say that Greg is throwing away significant win percentage chances by not just making the standard cover wager and being too aggressive here. As I've said, yes, if second place is guaranteed to make a rational wager, Greg could have been more aggressive had he chosen to bet. But the fact that second place makes an irrational (some might say stupid) wager so much of the time means that I will maintain that Greg's best bet last night was exactly $1, and I don't appreciate being told that I am wrong in the face of this research.
This is also a reminder to Jeopardy! fans that the impetus for the rule's change back in November 2014 was a string of tie games early in the 31st season of the show (four tie games in a 25-episode span that fall), and a concern from the show's compliance lawyers that the rules as they stood were potentially too prone to collusion—where one proven instance of that collusion would have been enough to take the show off the air entirely. Thus, the rule changed to match the one used in tournament play throughout the show's history.

More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2026 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Built by the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1599 at Southwark in greater London, on the south bank of the Thames River, the Globe Theatre is best-known today as the theatre at which Shakespeare's works were performed most often during that era. Its modern recreation, Shakespeare's Globe, opened about 230 meters away from the initial site in 1997 through the efforts of actor-director Sam Wanamaker.
I'm not sure how this is going to play; non-American topics always tend to play more difficult than I think they will.
