Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Novel Titles) for Monday, May 9, 2022 (Season 38, Game 171):
A 1590 poem written for the retirement of Queen Elizabeth’s champion knight shares its title with this 1929 novel by an American
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Emily Levant, an associate creative director from Los Angeles, California
Karim Oliver, a student at Vanderbilt University from St. Petersburg, Florida
Danielle Maurer, a digital marketing manager from Peachtree Corners, Georgia (1-day total: $15,600)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: The Mattea Roach era has ended on Jeopardy! after Danielle Maurer ended Mattea’s 23-game win streak. Today, Mayim Bialik resumes hosting as our new champion takes on Vanderbilt student Karim Oliver and Los Angeles’ Emily Levant.
It would be nice if the Jeopardy! website updated properly this morning; as of this writing, neither the Clue of the Day at the website nor the J!6 clues updated this morning on Jeopardy!’s website. (I’m slightly concerned now that today’s Clue of the Day went onto the website on Saturday, April 9 for some reason and I would have missed it, being that April 9 was a Saturday.) Thankfully, I have access to an actual edition of the New York Times, specifically for instances such as this.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is A Farewell to Arms?
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.)
A Farewell to Arms is Ernest Hemingway’s 1929 novel set during the Italian campaign of World War I, and was based upon Hemingway’s own experience serving in Italy during the war. The title comes from George Peele’s 1590 poem “A Farewell to Arms”, a poem written to celebrate the retirement of champion jouster Sir Henry Lee; Lee would joust in tournaments every November to celebrate the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth I’s ascension to the English throne.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: All About Amphibians; Colorful Albums; Prepositional Literature; Menace to Sobriety; International Rhyme Time; 2 “R”s Not To Reason Why
Karim struggled a bit in COLORFUL ALBUMS, which hurt even more for him because the first Daily Double was there. Danielle held a lead after the opening 16 clues. Coming out of the interviews, Danielle continued her strong play, picking up another 5 (for 10 total in Single Jeopardy); she had an $1,800 lead going into Double. Some of you in the past have taken umbrage with my usage of Single Jeopardy; this is another reminder that the term did in fact appear on Alex’s scripts and is not improper terminology.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: U.S. Geography; Autobiographical Movies; Let’s Get Nautical; You Said It; Make It Singular; The Nuremberg Trials
Karim’s struggles continued in Double Jeopardy!, with a “read the question” error on the game’s second Daily Double. Meanwhile, Danielle continued playing well, even though her bet was on the conservative side on the last Daily Double. (A more aggressive bet might have given her a runaway game.) There were two unplayed clues, but I’d say that was due to the length of the Nuremberg category and 14 Triple Stumpers overall in the game today. The scores going into Final were Danielle at $14,600, Emily at $8,400, and Karim just getting out of the hole before the end of Double Jeopardy! at $1,400.
Final Jeopardy! was a Triple Stumper today; but Danielle’s having a strong position led to her becoming a 2-day champion! She’ll come back in search of win #3 tomorrow!

Karim: Not really much you can do here today. However, if Emily does choose to bet to go to $14,601 and is wrong, she falls to $2,199. Keeping that in mind, you should probably bet at least $800 today to try to get second place.
Emily: You need to get to at least $12,400; your minimum bet is $4,000. If you limit your bet to $5,599, you are guaranteed of second place. However, being that your only chance of victory is to be right where Danielle isn’t, you can go all-in in an attempt to maximize your winnings.
