Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Maureen O’Neil is now a 3-day champion; she’s found her way onto this site’s ToC Tracker, at spot #25. She’ll absolutely need to keep winning to increase her chances of qualifying—Karson Leperi of Oregon and Hannah Langhoff of Chicago will try to stop her.

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.

Lizzie Borden—forever associated now with Fall River, Massachusetts—was acquitted in 1893 of the axe murders of her father and stepmother in August of the previous year. The events cited were the witch trials in nearby Salem, Massachusetts from two centuries earlier.

Game Recap:

Jeopardy! Round categories: European History, Sports, Good for the Stew, U.S. Military Branches, Suburbs of Chicago, “V”erbs

Maureen got off to a strong start in SPORTS, but 3 incorrect responses (2 in European History) saw her in the red at the first break. Meanwhile, Karson fell back to the field a bit after missing the Daily Double immediately before the break.

Shockingly (at least to me), Hannah, the Chicagoan, didn’t immediately go to the Suburbs category, and it nearly went unplayed—Ken had to give proceedings minute-to-go warning. Karson held a $2,200 lead at the end of the round.

Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Booze in Books, Vaccines, Political Geography, Starts & Ends with the Same Vowel, Women Make Passes, Guys who Wear Glasses

Today’s Double Jeopardy! round was very competitive amongst all three players. Maureen finally got to play a Daily Double, taking the lead after getting the first Daily Double in the round. Karson picked up the second one midway through the round, re-taking the lead. Then, Hannah picked up steam over the last 12 clues of the round, nearly taking the lead herself going into Final! Scores going into Final were Karson at $14,200, Hannah at $13,400, and Maureen at $9,600.

In Final, Maureen was the only correct player, meaning she’s now a 4-day champion! She’ll go for win #5 tomorrow.

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Thursday, March 10, 2022 Jeopardy! by the numbers:

Scores going into Final:
Karson $14,200
Hannah $13,400
Maureen $9,600

Tonight’s results:
Maureen $9,600 + $9,600 = $19,200 (Who is Lizzie Borden?) (4-day total: $58,200)
Hannah $13,400 – $12,601 = $799 (Who is Charlotte Cord)
Karson $14,200 – $12,601 = $1,599 (Who is Adams?)
