More information about Final Jeopardy:
Lescot’s knowledge of architecture from illustrations in books and from Roman ruins in France, some sources claim that he did visit Italy, but others dispute this. He began his rebuilding of the Louvre in 1546 and was influenced by classical elements. Lescot designed part of the “Old Louvre” part of the complex, which served as a French royal residence before Versailles.
It currently serves as the home of the world’s most famous art museums.

It’s not fair for contestants to start a category across the bottom ie: so and so for $ 2,000.00 ….
And scooping up all the high amounts leaving $ 100.00s $ 200.00s for the other players! unable to accumulate larger amounts of $$$ !
Start at the top dollar amounts and go down!!! Love Jeopardy but it’s not correct to allow it!!!
I don’t think you understand how patently absurd this argument is.
The dollar amounts don’t change based on when people select them. Every single board has 6 clues at each dollar amount, and each contestant has the same chance at the clue, regardless of when it’s picked.
