Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. City Names) for Friday, March 25, 2022 (Season 38, Game 140):
Adopted in 1845, the name of this state capital is a feminized form of a big body of water
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Nicole Wachell, a teacher & writer from Los Angeles, California
Jackie Kelly, a pension calculation developer from Cary, North Carolina
Ciara Donegan, an undergraduate student from Towson, Maryland (1-day total: $27,601)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: University of Maryland undergrad Ciara Donegan dominated on the signalling device yesterday, and returns today as champion looking to surpass her twin sister Kristin’s single-win performance from last month’s Jeopardy! National College Championship. If she can continue her buzzer dominance—Ciara’s got in 80% of the time in yesterday’s game when she attempted to buzz—she will have an excellent time again today. If not, either of today’s challengers may well take the spoils today.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is Atlanta, Georgia?
More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2022 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Atlanta, Georgia was originally named Thrasherville (in 1839) and then renamed to Marthasville (in 1842). Three years later, J. Edgar Thomson (chief engineer of the Georgia Railroad) suggested another renaming—Atlantica-Pacifica—which turned into Atlanta, also the feminine form of “Atlantic”. The city became capital of Georgia in 1868, as the previous capital, Milledgeville, reportedly refused to permit Black delegates lodging in the city’s inns for the state’s post-Civil War Constitutional convention.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: Pop Music Philly-Style; A Bit of Brit Lit; 3-Letter Words; Alphabet Land; Beer Today; Lawn Tomorrow
All three of our players started strong today, but it was the two challengers who tied for the lead after 15 clues at $3,800 apiece. It also seemed to me that Ciara wasn’t quite as dominant on the signalling device at the start of the game.
Coming out of the break, our players avoided the beer category a bit, but Nicole picked up $3,000 on the game’s first Daily Double late in the round; she held a strong lead after Single Jeopardy.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: What the Hill?; American Law; Scientists; Time to Call It a Day; History’s Mister “E”s; The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures
Ciara and Jackie split the Daily Doubles in this round; Ciara picked up $3,000, whereas Jackie dropped $4,000 late enough in the round such that she couldn’t get out of third place before the end-of-round signal brought end to the proceedings with three clues to play. (I wouldn’t really call it the fault of the players or even the host, but the Academy Museum category was a longer Clue Crew category because the Oscars are on Sunday.) Scores going into Final were Ciara at $15,200, Nicole at $12,000, and Jackie at $10,600.
As with many state capitals Final Jeopardy! clues, this one was a Triple Stumper. Jackie held back enough to become champion, and she’ll get to meet Mayim Bialik on Monday!

Today’s interviews:
Nicole has had a Shakespeare obsession since middle school.
Jackie had her family covered by the news in 2008 for the Phillies World Series run.
Ciara auditioned for the show on her 21st birthday.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- In case anyone is wondering: Ciara gave 42 correct responses on the show. Her twin sister Kristin gave 41 during the Jeopardy! National College Championship.
- I really have no major qualms with today’s Final Jeopardy! betting.
- Link to the box score: March 25, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
Ciara: Standard cover bet today is $8,801.
Jackie: In order to win a Double Stumper with Ciara, you need to stay above $6,400. Your maximum bet is $4,200 today.
Nicole: You can’t both cover Jackie and win a Double Stumper with Ciara (known by J! Archive as “Stratton’s Dilemma”, after Ted Stratton first posed the problem to the J! Archive team, regarding his appearance back in 2005). The cover bet is $9,201 and is your minimum on the high end. If you’re not betting to cover Jackie, you’re essentially betting on a Triple Stumper and should seriously consider just standing pat in that case.
