Correct response: What is Romanov?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Romanovs were the last imperial family of Russia, consisting of Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Tsarina Alexandra, and their five children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei. They had been killed in the Russian Revolution of 1918 and were deemed martyrs by the church, though not without controversy, as some felt that it was the ineffective rule of Nicholas II that had brought the revolution in the first place.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to Alex Trebek’s preferred charity. (The de facto alumni association is currently inquiring with the show in order to determine Alex Trebek’s preferred charity; this will be updated when that has been determined. To date, $239.35 has been raised.)
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.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 97 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 2.7911 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5793).
An average of 4.3563 4+-time champions (standard deviation 2.2282).
An early cutoff took place 3.736% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
James Holzhauer qualified 100.000% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 85.191% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 64.377% of the time.
Lindsey Shultz qualified 27.982% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 3.449% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 0.584% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- With $298,687, James passes Seth Wilson and Arthur Chu on the regular play winnings list and moves to #6 all time in regular play winnings, and to #23 in all-time winnings.
- James was going for November 22 in his 11/22 on his Final Jeopardy! bet.
- The record for “most correct responses in a player’s first five games” is at least 165; however, there are players who may hold that record whose entire runs are not in J! Archive.
