Ben, I really don’t get why you didn’t go all in there. You didn’t help yourself AT ALL in this scenario by not doing that. -__- (Zonk Contestant of the Week nominee)

Which brings me to giving this advice to any future J! contestant: When you find yourself trailing in a lock-tie going into Final Jeopardy! (having EXACTLY HALF the score of the leader), ALWAYS BET EVERYTHING even if it’s a potentially tough clue, ESPECIALLY given that the leader ALWAYS wagers $1 in this kind of scenario to avoid a tiebreaker.

Winner: Steve ($19,999 (2-day $38,400))

My Rating: 5 (D-)

Ismael’s Rating: 5 (D-)

Adam’s Rating: TBA

No bear only because of the DD sweep. Otherwise, there would be one due to an otherwise lackluster game and Ben’s lack of situational awareness.
