| Day | What airs |
|---|---|
| Mon, Nov. 2 | Doornek returns as champion; challengers not announced |
| Tue, Nov. 3–Fri, Nov. 6 | Contestants not announced |
How did Friday night finish?
| Player | Wager | Final |
|---|---|---|
| Erica Doornek (new champ) | $8,500 | $23,500 |
| Stefanie Landeweer (2-day champ) | $4,000 | $15,600 |
| Sam Neal | $2,399 | $4,799 |
Doornek, a federal employee originally from Glasgow, Montana, led into Final Jeopardy! with $15,000 to Landeweer's $11,600 and Neal's $2,400. All three got the response right. Doornek's $8,500 wager held the lead, and the order never changed. Final scores and wagers per J! Archive and The Jeopardy! Fan; Neal is a knowledge management analyst from Shawnee, Kansas.
What was the Final Jeopardy! answer on Friday?
The category was Art & Artists, and the clue was about a painter whose early experiments with falling paint and momentum were described by MoMA. The response was Who is Jackson Pollock? A rare triple-get: Doornek and Neal said Pollock, and Landeweer's written "Salvador Dali Pollock" was ruled correct, per J! Archive and The Jeopardy! Fan. On Thursday, Oct. 29 the category was Authors and nobody had Who is A.A. Milne?
Was it a well-played game?
Landeweer found all three Daily Doubles, but a miss on the third left Doornek ahead going into Final, $15,000 to $11,600. Coryat scores (no wagers) were Doornek $15,000, Landeweer $9,800 and Neal $2,400, per J! Archive. Landeweer was 18 right and 3 wrong; Doornek 18 right and 1 wrong. Neal buzzed first on 20 of 57 clues, more than either rival, and still finished third. Speed alone did not carry it. Wagering did: Doornek's $8,500 was the largest bet of the three, and had she bet nothing, Landeweer's $15,600 would have passed her $15,000.
Who is the champion going into Monday?
Erica Doornek, a federal employee from Glasgow, Montana, with one win and $23,500, per J! Archive; the Monday, Nov. 2 lineup is not confirmed here. She ended Stefanie Landeweer's two-game run at $30,000 ($19,400 plus $10,600). Anthony Cantor's four-win, $77,199 run still tops Rian Robertson's $64,101 as the biggest of the runs listed here.
