Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category European History) for Friday, February 7, 2025 (Season 41, Game 110):

At his trial, revolutionaries referred to the deposed Louis XVI with this last name, one used previously for a dynasty

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Neilesh Vinjamuri, a software engineer from Lionville, Pennsylvania (0 wins)

Isaac Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California (0 wins)

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (0 wins)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

It is time for the finals of the 32^nd Tournament of Champions, as Adriana Harmeyer, Isaac Hirsch, and Neilesh Vinjamuri do battle in a first-to-3-wins competition. As I mentioned in my preview, Neilesh is favored at this point by virtue of having done slightly better than Isaac on Daily Doubles—despite the fact that Isaac has done better up and down the board. Additionally, Adriana is strongest of the three in Final Jeopardy.

One thing that I am also looking forward to on Monday is the unveiling of the field of the 2^nd Jeopardy Invitational Tournament, which begins immediately following the Tournament of Champions. I do want to point out a couple of important things: firstly, the three players relegated from Masters—Matt Amodio, Amy Schneider, and Mattea Roach—had JIT spots automatically offered to them because of their appearance in Masters. This is something that has been known to everyone involved the entire time, and the show has been very clear about this since the institution of Masters. Secondly, because of the relatively high likelihood that players might have chosen not to participate—either through other life events happening or a simple choice to “take a break” from the game—any accusations that the show is “snubbing” players are completely out of line, in my editorial opinion.

Correct response: What is Capet?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

As a direct male-line descendant of Hugh Capet, the dethroned Louis XVI was referred to as “the citizen Capet” at his trial during the French Revolution; after his execution, Marie Antoinette became known as “the Widow Capet”.

The Capetian dynasty has existed since its founding over 1,000 years ago; branches of its House of Bourbon still reign over Spain and Luxembourg. No, “Bourbon” shouldn’t be acceptable here—the clue clearly refers to Capet.

Andy’s Thoughts:

• The show wasn’t switching camera shots as often to a contestant close-up on responses—as someone who is definitely used to seeing the contestant respond with a close-up, it felt disconcerting to me. Of course, if this continues, it’ll feel like second nature to me eventually. That said: it did make me think that my television service was having video issues, even though I can see the advantage to staying on the “3-shot” from a “What’s the game state?” perspective.
• From a betting strategy perspective, one important change is that more unorthodox strategies can be attempted in a ToC final, because a failed attempt does not automatically mean elimination (unlike most other situations). To that end, I don’t actually hate Adriana’s Final Jeopardy bet today, considering the situation.
• Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Isaac $13,800 Adriana $11,400 Neilesh $11,400)

Adriana: I personally would pick either $0 or $11,400 here. The range between $4,801 and $6,600 does work as well if you think there’s a chance of Isaac betting small, but I personally would stay with either $0 or $11,400. (Actual bet: $6,000)

Isaac: Standard cover bet is $9,001. (Actual bet: $9,001)

Neilesh: I would pick either $0 or $11,400 here, depending on whether I liked my chances to be correct or not. The range between $4,801 and $6,600 does work as well if you think there’s a chance of Isaac betting small, but I personally would stay with either $0 or $11,400. (Actual bet: $11,400)

Updated ToC odds:

Adriana -120
Isaac +300
Neilesh +260

Finals length odds:

3 games: +720
4 games: +320
5 games: +220
6 games: +290
7 games: +680
