Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Art & Artists) for Thursday, February 27, 2025 (Season 41, Game 124):

Born in Amersfoort in 1872, he helped found an art movement characterized by the use of straight lines & primary colors

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Juveria Zaheer, a psychiatrist from Whitby, Ontario, Canada

Jackson Jones, a conflicts analyst assistant from Louisville, Kentucky

Seth Wilson, an editor & adjunct professor from Oak Park, Illinois

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

The last of the nine quarterfinals in the 2025 JIT is being contested between Seth Wilson, Jackson Jones, and Juveria Zaheer. Seth won a dozen games back in 2016 before being invited back for the Tournament of Champions and the 2019 All-Star Games, while Jackson was very strong in both the 2019 Teen Tournament and 2023 High School Reunion Tournament. Meanwhile, Juveria was the breakout star of Season 40 after winning Second Chance and Champions Wildcard en route to a narrow defeat in the Tournament of Champions to Luigi de Guzman.

One thing that I’ve noticed in reading the words of numerous other contestants over the past year is that Juveria’s words have been incredibly helpful for many former players; I note especially what John Focht said recently about his own recovery from cancer: “Still, in even thinking about it at all, I knew that if I did get called for it again, cancer was either going to have to be part of my story or it was going to be something I deliberately ignored. Credit here in particular to Juveria Zaheer, who talked with me about these ideas last year and left me feeling more confident in using my own story in the ways that would work best for me. She was a huge help in working through the thought process that resulted in the chemo post last summer, and that work helped again on a morning in December.” Honestly, I believe at this point that Juveria is due some sort of recognition at Jeopardy! Honors for how much she has helped others.

Correct response: Who is Piet Mondrian?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Piet Mondrian was a founder of, oldest member of, and likely the most prominent member of De Stijl, the Dutch art movement founded in the early 20^th century. Mondrian’s incredibly distinctive artwork generally features grid-based paintings, with black lines separating rectangles of both white space and bold primary colors.

Personally, I found this to be a very straightforward Final Jeopardy clue—however, Mondrian is also one of my personal favorite artists; I generally find his works to be very aesthetically pleasing.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Juveria $16,000 Jackson $10,800 Seth $6,400)

Seth: You have to be correct to win; while you do have to bet at least $4,000, you might as well go all in to force a cover bet from Jackson. (Actual bet: $6,399)

Jackson: You can’t both cover Seth and win a Triple Stumper if Juveria covers. So, you have a choice: either bet between $0 and $399 and hope for a Triple Stumper, or you might as well go all in to force a cover bet out of Juveria. (Actual bet: $5,201)

Juveria: Jackson might be just inside of two-thirds, but he has to defend against Seth, giving Jackson reason to possibly go all in. Cover bet is $5,601. (Actual bet: $5,601)

Updated JIT odds:

Matt +450
Roger +530
Luigi +680
Jaskaran +700
