Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Monterey Salka, a chef from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Quentin Powers, a returned Peace Corps volunteer from Arlington, Virginia
Noah Hamilton, a marketing manager from Saint Paul, Minnesota (1-day total: $9,990)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Noah Hamilton is your defending champion. He won $9,990 yesterday. Quentin Powers and Monterey Salka are your challengers.
However, I think there’s a much more pertinent reason to use this section this morning; the above paragraph is deliberately terse. After another period where multiple people in this community have aired (or attempted to air before being shouted down) complaints about bullying, this community needs to be brought to reckoning about how it treats people. Ken Jennings himself was happy to pile on one of them, to the point where a prominent creator in this community was so disheartened by Ken’s participation in an Internet dogpile—that went as far as revenge porn being posted—that she has chosen to permanently withdraw her work from the community. That creator was simply trying to bring attention to the way trans people are systemically treated by many in the mainstream media, many of whom are actively facilitating the elimination of the trans community, and has not in any way deserved the resulting reaction and treatment.

Final Jeopardy! Category: 20th Century Movie Memorabilia
Final Jeopardy! Clue: In 2025 a pine hardwood prop famously known by this name sold at auction for $14.75 million
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.
Correct response: What is Rosebud?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Apologies in advance for the spoiler for an 85-year-old film: Even though Citizen Kane saw “Rosebud” the sled be burned in a fire, multiple identical copies of the prop sled were made for the film (presumably in case multiple takes were required to get the burning just right). One of those, saved from the former RKO lot in the mid-1980s by director Joe Dante, went up for auction in 2025, where it sold for $14.75 million.
This feels like a current events final where half the point is to amplify a Hollywood news item that a lot of people may have missed. We shall see how it plays.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I know there are some fans who get upset any time a contestant shows any emotion whatsoever on stage. I say, let people actually show some emotion. I want to see contestants happy when they win!
- Unfortunately, I don’t know the significance of Quentin’s bet sizing at the moment. Maybe it will come out—if it does, it will make its way into tomorrow’s preview.
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Noah $12,800 Quentin $12,291 Monterey $5,000)
Noah: Standard cover bet today is $11,783. (Actual bet: $11,783)
Quentin: Any bet between $1,019 ($1 more than double the score difference between you and Noah, to cover his entire small range) and $2,290 (thereby keeping Monterey locked out) works equally well here. (Actual bet: $1,909)
Monterey: You will need an overbet from Quentin to have a chance here, but that happens more often than you think. Bet no more than $3,982 to stay ahead of Noah in case Noah makes the standard cover bet and is incorrect. (Actual bet: $4,997)
