Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category National Anthems) for Friday, June 30, 2023 (Season 39, Game 210):

The name of this country’s national anthem translates as “His Majesty’s Reign” & its lyrics come from a 1,000-year-old poem

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Ilena Di Toro, a public relations specialist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Courtney Johnston, an attorney from Denver, Colorado

Bryan White, a senior regulatory compliance analyst originally from Santa Maria, California (2-day total: $32,007)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Bryan White is now a 2-day champion on Jeopardy!; yesterday, he picked up his second runaway in two games. Today, which serves as Mayim Bialik’s final game as host this season, Courtney Johnston & Ilena Di Toro are your challengers.

Correct response: What is Japan?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2023 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

“Kimigayo”, the national anthem of Japan, is said to translate to “His Majesty’s Reign”—though that translation has not been enshrined by law. Its lyrics come from an anonymous poem first published anonymously c.920 in the Kokin Wakashū. While the song had been Japan’s de facto anthem since 1880, the Act on National Flag and Anthem in 1999 formally established both Japan’s current flag and “Kimigayo” as the country’s official flag and anthem.

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Venn Diagram Intersections; Welcome To The Big Urban Area; Business; Numbers In The News; Sports Rookies; Compound Words)

Thanks to a missed True Daily Double, today’s game was $0–$0–$0 through 12 clues! Incorrect responses after the break kept the scores down, but Bryan still led after 30.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Ilena 1 correct 0 incorrect
Bryan 9 correct 1 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Historic Greats; Serenity Now!; Science & Nature; Let’S Get “Down”; Pop Eye; The Sailor Man)

Double Jeopardy! saw some high-value incorrect responses keep the scores down. Meanwhile, Bryan found the last Daily Double on the second-to-last clue, and didn’t take clue #30 into account when making his bet sizing. This let Ilena break the runaway by getting clue #30 correct!

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Bryan 22 correct 4 incorrect
Ilena 10 correct 4 incorrect
Courtney 7 correct 3 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 35 (0 today).

Scores going into Final:

Bryan $9,300
Ilena $5,400
Courtney $4,000

Ilena was the only player correct in Final, so her correct get on clue #30 won her the game and dethroned Bryan! She’ll be back on Monday with Ken Jennings hosting.

Tonight’s results:

Courtney $4,000 – $3,810 = $190 (What is France?)
Ilena $5,400 + $4,100 = $9,500 (What is Japan?) (1-day total: $9,500)
Bryan $9,300 – $1,600 = $7,700 (What is Norway?)

Andy’s Thoughts:

• There was a perfect bet size on that final Daily Double: $2,700. (Well, anything between $2,601 and $2,799, but $2,700 is the only multiple of 100 in the range).

• Today’s box score: June 30, 2023 Box Score.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Bryan $9,300 Ilena $5,400 Courtney $4,000)

Bryan: Standard cover bet over Ilena is $1,501. (Actual bet: $1,600)

Courtney: Bet at least $3,801 to ensure you’re ahead of Bryan if he gets Final incorrect and you get it correct. (Actual bet: $3,810)

Ilena: Bet at least $2,601 to cover Courtney. (Actual bet: $4,100)
