Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Mattea Roach has been motoring along—now at 18 wins—but she’s had some very exciting games this week! If she wins today, she ties David Madden and Jason Zuffranieri at 19 victories. Will she end another week as champion?

More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Modest Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”, one of his most famous works, was inspired by a number of artworks by Russian painter Viktor Hartmann; who had passed away suddenly of an aneurism in 1873. An 1874 exhibition of over 400 Hartman paintings was set up at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg; this exhibition inspired the composition of the piece. While the work was composed for piano, the best-known arrangement of the work was undertaken by Maurice Ravel in the 1920s and was adapted for a full symphony orchestra.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: States’ Most Populous Cities; Sitcoms; Newspapers & Magazines; The Language of Sport; The Atmosphere; Waits & Measures
One player today got off to a strong start; today, however, that strong starter was Julian, who picked up $2,000 over the first 10 clues. Unfortunately, clue #11 was the Daily Double—and Julian fell back to $0. Mattea held the lead at the interview break. In the second half of the round, Julian rebounded from the early Daily Double miss to re-take the lead! Mattea was second, and Terri got the honor of selecting first in Double Jeopardy.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Politicians in Their School Days; Entertainment Awards; Fun with Cooking Terms; The 18th Century; Felines in Fiction; Middle P
Mattea got to play both Daily Doubles in this round, and she split them; her losing $4,000 on the final Daily Double meant that the game wasn’t a runaway! Meanwhile, Terri dug herself out of a hole in the waning moments and got to play Final as well! The scores going into Final were Mattea at $17,000, Julian at $11,000, and Terri at $800.
In Final, Mattea was the only correct contestant, which means she sees out April as champion with her 19th win! She goes for #20 on Monday!

Mattea: Standard cover bet today is $5,001.
Julian: You need to get to at least $12,000, so you need to bet at least $1,000; if you keep your bet to $9,399, you’ll ensure you finish ahead of Terri.
Terri: Any bet but “all in” is probably acceptable here. The most likely overbet is Julian going all in himself, so you might as well play for that hope.
