Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Europe) for Friday, June 27, 2025 (Season 41, Game 210):

The EU has 5 metropolitan regions of more than 5 million people; this city is the only one on the Mediterranean

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Michelle Arguelles, a product marketing manager from Oakland, California

Klay Frappier, an accountant originally from McHenry, North Dakota

Rocco Graziano, a substitute teacher from Staten Island, New York (1-day total: $17,200)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

It’s been two weeks now since a multi-day champion has graced the champion’s lectern on the Alex Trebek Stage; will Rocco Graziano end the run of one-day champions? Certainly, Klay Frappier and Michelle Arguelles want to keep the carousel moving!

That being said: we still aren’t at the record in terms of consecutive one-day champions—we had long runs of 1-day winners in 2002 and in 2009, which tells me that it has nothing to do with how the show is being written (as much as some people want to use this as a cudgel to bash the writers), it just happens to be one of those things that comes along sometimes on Jeopardy! and is a result of the inherent variance that have made the show such an entertaining television property over the past 60 years.

Correct response: What is Barcelona?

As the clue says: there are 5 metro areas in the EU with more than 5 million people: Paris, Madrid, Ruhr (Dortmund/Essen/Duisberg, Germany), Barcelona, and Milan, with Barcelona being the only one of those five cities on the Mediterranean. The other two cities I considered on this Final were Rome and Athens—both of these cities have just 3.6 million people.

In my experience watching the show, European geography clues always generally tend to play harder than I expect them to; which means, at this point, we’ll probably see at least two guess of Rome and Athens.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• If you fail to phrase in the form of a question in Double Jeopardy, you risk being ruled incorrect at any point. Of course, there will be some fans who will use this ruling as a springboard for another batch of clickbait criticism of our host. Could we have just one day where everyone says positive things about Ken?
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Klay $12,000 Michelle $10,000 Rocco $8,000)

Rocco: Just wager $4,000. Seriously—it’ll bring you to Klay’s score, and on a Triple Stumper, you’ll stay $1 above Klay and Michelle’s cover bets. (Actual bet: $6,000)

Klay: Standard cover bet over Michelle is $8,001. (Actual bet: $8,001)

Michelle: Standard cover bet is $6,001. You should bet exactly this number, because if you and Klay both make your respective cover bets and are incorrect, you both fall to exactly $3,999. (Actual bet: $8,000)
