Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Early 19th Century) for Wednesday, June 1, 2022 (Season 38, Game 188):
Admiral Pierre-Charles Villeneuve signaled “engage the enemy” around noon & surrendered at 1:45 PM during this battle
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Meagan Morrow, a real estate manager from Portland, Oregon
Vanessa Williams, an assistant dean from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Ryan Long, a rideshare driver from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (13-day total: $252,700)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ryan Long won his 13th game on yesterday’s program. Fellow Philadelphian Vanessa Willams, as well as Portland’s Meagan Morrow, would have seen yesterday’s dominant performance from the audience; I’m sure that it would have been very intimidating to see! Over the course of his run, Ryan has been attempting to buzz significantly more often than his opponents, making an average of 38.8 attempts per game, compared to the 29.7 average from his opponents.
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 the Battle of Trafalgar?
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.)
The famed Battle of Trafalgar, which took place off the coast of Spain (near Cape Trafalgar) on October 21, 1805, was a crucial battle between a combined French and Spanish naval force, commanded by Villeneuve, and the British Navy, commanded by Horatio Nelson. The British won a decisive victory in this battle, with the Franco-Spanish fleet losing two-thirds of their ships to zero ship losses, in spite of being outnumbered. Nelson, the British commander, lost his life in this battle in spite of the victory, and has generally been lauded as a national hero since. Moreover, the British navy was generally not challenged again until World War II over a century later.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: Picture the Novel; U.S. Government History; It’s a “Syn”; Coffee Break; Ballpark Fun; Dr. Mittens, Cat Obstetrician
Vanessa got off to a strong start in today’s game, but it was Ryan who held the lead after 15 clues. Coming out of the break, Meagan got three $1,000 clues to take the lead. Ryan and Vanessa were tied after Single Jeopardy! — with Ryan selecting first in Double Jeopardy. (The rationale given was different than has been given in the past, though, which I find very inconsistent and confusing as a home viewer. In the past, the rule has been “closest lectern to the host”. Today, the rule was given as “most recent correct response”. This confuses me.)
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: Bodies of Water; Pop & Rock Life Stories; Nobel Peace Prize Winners; 9-, 10-, & 11-Letter Words; What a Tool; Life in the Faust Lane
Double Jeopardy! started with Ryan running LIFE IN THE FAUST LANE, including $2,000 on a Daily Double. Meanwhile, Meagan made her comeback with the aid of BODIES OF WATER; Ryan lost $3,600 in that category, while Meagan got $3,000 on the Daily Double and a crucial $2,000 after both Vanessa and Ryan got it incorrect! Ryan made a late charge, but it wasn’t enough. Meagan led going into Final at $16,800, with Ryan second at $15,400 and Vanessa at $2,200.
Final Jeopardy! today was a Triple Stumper. Meagan didn’t cover, so it came down to the wagers. Ryan ends up surviving a scare after he wagered just small enough to be ahead by $600 when all of the wagers were revealed—he’ll try for win #15 tomorrow!

Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
(Scores: Meagan $16,800 Ryan $15,400 Vanessa $2,200)
Ryan: Bet between $2,801 (to defend against a very small bet from Meagan) and $10,999 (to stay ahead of Vanessa). (Actual bet: $8,000)
Vanessa: If Meagan covers Ryan and is wrong, she falls to $2,799. Thus, you should bet at least $601. (Actual bet: $2,200)
Meagan: Standard cover bet over Ryan is $14,001. (Actual bet: $10,000)
