Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Awards & Honors) for Quarterfinal #5 in the 2017 Tournament of Champions, on Friday, November 10, 2017 (Season 34, Episode 45):

The Victoria Cross is for military bravery; this cross first given in 1940 & named for Victoria’s great-grandson is for civilian bravery

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Throughout November, in memory of Cindy Stowell, I’ll be making a donation for every item sold from this site’s online store! More details are below the information about Final Jeopardy.

Today’s contestants:

Jon Eisenman, an attorney from Los Angeles, California

Justin Vossler, a high school history teacher from Homer, New York

Andrew Pau, an associate professor from Amherst, Ohio

If you appreciate the work I do here on The Jeopardy! Fan and would like to make a one-time contribution to the site, you may do so here!

Named after and first awarded by King George VI, the George Cross was devised due to the increasing number of stories detailing civilian bravery during The Blitz in 1940. It’s currently the second highest award in the UK honours system, awarded “for acts of the greatest heroism or most conspicous courage in circumstance of extreme danger”. As the existing civilian awards were judged to be insufficient for this purpose, the George Cross was created as an award on September 24, 1940. Since its inception, it has been awarded 408 times. Interesting, one of the recipients was the country of Malta in 1942, whose George Cross is actually shown on its national flag.

In memory of Cindy Stowell, I’ll be donating $2 to the Cancer Research Institute for every item sold in November from our store!. Here are our top sellers; all prices are in US dollars!

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Tonight’s results are below!

Scores going into Final:
Andrew $26,800
Justin $16,000
Jon $3,800

Tonight’s results:
Jon $3,800 – $3,800 = $0 (What is the Edward Cross)
Justin $16,000 – $7,000 = $9,000 (What is the George’s Cross?)
Andrew $26,800 + $2,200 = $29,000 (Automatic semifinalist)

Note: “George Cross” is not a possessive. A response of “George’s Cross” creates ambiguity with the heraldic “St. George’s Cross”, the red cross on white background that is the flag of England, which would explain why “George’s Cross” was not accepted.

Automatic Semifinalists:
Monday: Buzzy Cohen, $30,000 ($16,400, $8,400)
Tuesday: Jason Sterlacci, $23,000 ($18,800, $5,000)

Miscellaneous:

• A $16,000 score for a 2nd place finisher, knowing no other scores, [per my prediction model](https://thejeopardyfan.com/2017/03/strategy-talk-tournament-wild-cards.html), has a 99.8% chance of advancing. A $9,000 score for a 2nd place finisher: 77.7%. Justin’s bet was the equivalent of taking a lock game and turning it into a crush scenario.
