Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Small Countries) for Wednesday, April 6, 2022 (Season 38, Game 148):
French, Italian & Swiss nationals make up about half of its population of 38,000
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Lana Altman, a digital programming manager from Southington, Connecticut
Vernon Ng, an associate professor of English from Tacoma, Washington
Mattea Roach, a tutor from Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1-day total: $32,001)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Canadian Mattea Roach won last night’s game, unseating another strong champion in Camron Conners. The preview at the end of yesterday’s episode showed Mattea in a deep red blazer that I’m sure that Lilly on Twitter (@OneEclecticMom) will absolutely love.
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.

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.)
Jeopardy!’s website issues continue today, as the Clue of the Day as printed in the New York Times differs from the Clue of the Day on the website. Here, I’ve decided that the New York Times printing is more likely to be accurate. In this clue, Monaco—the wealthy principality situated on the French Riviera near the France-Italy border—is one of the world’s smallest and least populous countries. The country is best known for the Casino de Monte-Carlo—Monegasque citizens are forbidden from entering the gaming rooms—as well as playing host to a yearly Formula 1 race around the streets of the principality.
We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: U.S. Bodies of Water; It’s All Relative; In Describable; Tombstone; The Magnificent Seven; Westerns
This round belonged entirely to Mattea. She gave 11 correct responses in the first 15 clues and another 10 after the break. Vernon struggled, giving four incorrect responses, and Lana only got in first four times (two of her four correct being rebounds of Vernon’s incorrect responses.) Even a conservative Daily Double bet didn’t keep Mattea from racking up $12,800 after Single Jeopardy.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Physiology; Landmark Legislation; Parts of the Whole; In Your Preface; Women in Music; “On” the Double
Mattea’s dominance continued — she picked up both Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy (picking up another $6,000) in amongst 14 correct in the round (and 35 total in Single and Double Jeopardy). Vernon did manage to get himself out of the hole and tied with Lana for 2nd going into Final. At the end of the round, Mattea had $28,800, to Vernon’s $2,200 and Lana’s $2,200.
Mattea’s amazing game was capped in Final by her being the only player to get Final correct—she’s now a 2-day champion at over $70,000.

Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Mattea $28,800 Lana $2,200 Vernon $2,200)
Mattea: You’ve got a victory if you bet anywhere between $0 and $24,399.
Vernon: Because Lana holds the tiebreaker for second (by virtue of her having the better score after the first round), you should bet $0 in this Prisoner’s Dilemma and hope she gets the clue incorrect.
Lana: You’ve got the tiebreaker for second if you finish tied with Vernon. Bet everything.
