Final Jeopardy! Category: Geographic History
Final Jeopardy! Clue: About 10,000 sq. miles, this region was the subject of a 19th c. war, declared independence in 1917, reorganized in 1921 & is under dispute to this day
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 Crimea?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
Due to its strategic location on the Black Sea, the Crimean peninsula has been fought over and changed hands numerous times over the millennia. The Greeks settled the area near what is now Sevastopol in the 6th century B.C, while in the 19th century, the Russians fought against an alliance of the Ottomans and Western European states for control in the famous Crimean War. By the time of the Russian Revolution, the area declared independence in 1917 as the Crimean People’s Republic, before becoming the Crimean Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic in 1945. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, the government in the area asserted sovereignty, and since 2014, the area has been disputed between Ukraine and Russia, with Russia using the area to launch its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
I’ll be honest: it feels like there are a lot of moving parts to this clue, and I’ll be impressed with any contestant who can get through all of them to reach a correct response.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, May 6, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Big Business; 4-Syllable Words; Sports Nicknames; The Great State Of…; We Love Islands; I Got A Text!)

Tristan 9 correct 2 incorrect
Shannon 2 correct 0 incorrect

Tristan once did a “donut 5k”, where one eats 12.5 donuts and then runs 5k.

(Categories: Positively Prefixed; It’s Simple Physics; 5 By 5; 1840S America; Silence; Celebrity Bird Collective Nouns)
For the third straight day, the Daily Doubles were found on back-to-back picks. However, Tristan only split the Daily Doubles. He wasn’t fazed by the miss, though, still picking up 15 correct in the round to reach 30 for the game overall and cruise to a runaway. On this board, he went 4/5 in celebrity bird collective nouns and silence.

Tristan 30 correct 4 incorrect
Shannon 12 correct 0 incorrect
Lauren 4 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 11 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:

Shannon $7,400

Tristan having the runaway was crucial, as Shannon was correct in Final Jeopardy. Tristan only lost $400, though, and gets to defend his title tomorrow.
Tonight’s results:
Lauren -$800 (By rule, did not participate in Final Jeopardy)
Shannon $7,400 + $7,400 = $14,800 (What is Crimea?)
