Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Last night’s game was one of the most enjoyable for me to watch in recent memory. All three contestants seemed to me like they were having a good time, and I would love to see more of that going forward. And, Mattea Roach picked up her sixteenth victory! Today, your challengers are Christina Clark and Ben Hsia.

Correct response: Who is William Butler Yeats?
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.)
Famous Irish poet William Butler Yeats, the 1923 Nobel laureate in literature and was well known for poems like “Sailing to Byzantium”, part of his 1928 collection The Tower. When he died in France in 1939, he was buried there—he wished to be buried in France, and then have his body moved in time to County Sligo (which happened in 1948).
On a more personal note: Maybe literature just isn’t my strong point, but I really struggled with this Final to differentiate Yeats on this clue from any of the other Irish writers of that general time period (Shaw, Joyce, or even Beckett—who was really associated with France as well, even though Beckett didn’t die until half a century later.)

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: A Novel Look at the Novel; Finish the Old Proverb; The League MVP’s Team; Getting a “BA” in Botany; Which Comes First; The Chicken or the Egg
Mattea had a very strong start, running the botany category en route to a good lead after 15 clues. Meanwhile, the Daily Double didn’t come out until the final clue of the round—Mattea got to play it, but it was science-related and Mattea lost $2,000. She still held a lead after the opening round, though!
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Architects; Mountains & Hills; Miscellany; Celebrity Memoirs; The Ancient World; An Anatomy of Words
The fireworks came out in Double Jeopardy! today! Ben got the first five clues to take a commanding lead! But, Mattea stormed back and got the final Daily Double, for $8,000—she wished she’d bet more at the time, and that panned out, as she was just short of having a runaway! Scores going into Final were Mattea at exactly double Ben’s total—$27,200 to $13,600; Christina had $8,400.
In Final today, Ben and Mattea got Final, and Mattea made the correct play in betting $1; she’s now a 17-day champion!

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Though this comes up less often these days, viewers are reminded that since November 2014, ties after Final Jeopardy! are broken with a tiebreaker clue.
- Link to the box score: April 27, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Mattea $27,200 Ben $13,600 Christina $8,400)
Mattea: Your chances of winning are highest if you bet exactly $1, as you are more likely to lose in a tiebreaker by betting $0 than by betting $1 (and missing Final). Also, betting $1 is better than betting more than $1, as oftentimes second place doesn’t bet enough.
Ben: You have exactly one good bet: all in. Anything else significantly lowers your chances of winning.
Christina: Anything up to $8,399 is fine for you; you’ll take 2nd if Ben misses Final.
