Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Alex Reyes, an authorization tech from Panorama City, California
Savannah Madeira, an arts administrator from Kempton, Pennsylvania
Peter McFerrin, an energy industry professional from Corona, California (1-day total: $18,999)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Peter McFerrin unseated an 8-game champion in yesterday’s game in Chris D’Angelo; today, he goes to defend his title against Alex Reyes & Savannah Madeira. One thing that I do want to note, even though this comes up every time it happens: Contestants are permitted to request to be seated for any reason whatsoever and do not need to disclose that reason to the public when that happens.
One thing that happened yesterday is that my Facebook page got hit with a spam attack from the friends of a contestant from last week beginning a “grassroots” Second Chance campaign. It is my hope that the show completely chooses to ignore such campaigns and only looks at the statistics, as I don’t think the show should be casting based on who has the most number of friends, instead casting for Second Chance based on merit in the game itself.

Final Jeopardy! Category: 20th Century Novels
Final Jeopardy! Clue: An introductory note to this novel offered gratitude to “the great profession of architecture and its heroes”
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 The Fountainhead?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
The Fountainhead was the first successful literary work from Russian-born American author Ayn Rand and details the work of Howard Roark, a young architect who defies convention and refuses to compromise with the establishment.
While a number of right-wing thinkers today have drawn inspiration from Rand, I would say that she herself was generally critical of many in that sphere who did find inspiration in her, and that certainly differentiates her from some authors in the modern sphere.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, June 2, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Chapter 1; Great Road Trip Conversation Starters; Hold Everything!; Movie Rules; European History; From Hand Grenades To Horseshoes)
Savannah had the most number of correct responses early, and she led through 15 clues. At the interviews today, the scores were Savannah $3,400 Alex $3,000 Peter $2,000.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Savannah 6 correct 0 incorrect
Alex 4 correct 0 incorrect
Peter 3 correct 0 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Alex wants to say hi to his parents and his therapist.
Savannah worked at a drive-in movie theatre.
Peter has taken out every blade of grass in his garden.
Alex’s questionable clue selection choices allowed Peter to gain his stride before finding the Daily Double; while Peter did go conservative, it also meant that Alex (or Savannah) couldn’t play it. Peter led through 30 after getting 3 in hold everything and European history, while Savannah got 3 in Chapter 1 and movie rules and Alex got 4 in words between hand grenades and horseshoes.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Peter 10 correct 1 incorrect
Alex 8 correct 1 incorrect
Savannah 8 correct 0 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Peter $6,200
Alex $4,200
Savannah $3,800
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: We’re Giving You Fitz; Shakespeare Goes Pop!; All Science; Geographic Before & After; French Phrases; Let’s Talk Business)
Peter picked up a combined $9,000 from the two Daily Doubles in this round, also getting 5 of the 6 $2,000 clues as he cruised to a runaway and was over $30,000 entering Final Jeopardy. Peter also got 4 in French phrases and 3 in geographic before and after (which would have been 4 had it not been for a phrasing misstep).
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Peter 25 correct 3 incorrect
Savannah 13 correct 1 incorrect
Alex 13 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 11 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Peter $32,400
Savannah $7,800
Alex $5,400
Alex and Peter were correct in Final, with Peter picking up another $16,799 in Final (the maximum he could without risking his lead) to take the show for nearly $50,000 today. He’ll go for win #3 tomorrow.
Tonight’s results:
Alex $5,400 + $5,400 = $10,800 (What is The Fountainhead)
Savannah $7,800 – $3,001 = $4,799 (What is the Brutalist?)
Peter $32,400 + $16,799 = $49,199 (What is The Fountainhead?) (2-day total: $68,198)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Was it just me, or did the Shakespeare category seem to lack iambic pentameter in its delivery?
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
