Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category International Friendship) for Monday, August 15, 2022 (Season 38, Game 57):

The organization these International was founded in 1956; they’re partner-städte in Germany & villes jumelées in France

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Krys Fischer, a retired substitute teacher from Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Krys Fischer on Jeopardy!

Pam Schoenberg, a dentist & entrepreneur from South Salem, New York

Pam Schoenberg on Jeopardy!

Amy Schneider, an engineering manager from Oakland, California (9-day total: $342,200)

Amy Schneider on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Today’s game originally aired on November 30, 2021.

Week 3 of Jeopardy!’s “Best of Season 38” reruns continues with this game, which features Amy Schneider going for Win #10. Pam Schoenberg was invited to the Second Chance Tournament in October on the strength of her performance in this game.

One thing I am looking forward to today: the upcoming Tournament of Champions field and format will be unveiled 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 can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What are sister cities?

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.)

Although town or city twinning dates back centuries—Toledo, Ohio has a longstanding agreement with Toledo, Spain—the modern concept of “sister cities”—a social agreement between two cities for the sake of solidarity, cultural ties, or commercial ties—began with Coventry, England in the 1940 feeling solidarity towards other cities that had been bombed heavily in World War II. Coventry’s first agreement was with Stalingrad in 1944. Sister Cities International was formed in the 1950s (originally as part of the National League of Cities) when Dwight Eisenhower proposed that the United States enter into these agreements. In another example of sister cities, Indianapolis, Indiana is a sister city with Monza, Italy, as both locales have a very long history of auto racing.

That being said, today’s clue felt clunky to me. I know that the show wanted to ask about Sister Cities International, but I get the sense that “these International” will confuse many home viewers. I’ve been wrong recently; maybe I’ll be wrong today as well.

Game Recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: A Sweet Read; Fill In The Phrase; Sounds Serious; Johnny Gilbert Is The Action Movie Character; Splitting Hairs; “Black” On The Map)

Today’s Jeopardy! round belonged to Pam today—she picked up 10 correct, including a Daily Double, before the first commercial and held a massive lead after 30 clues! Last week’s Inside Jeopardy! podcast discussed that some of the staff thought this might be the day Amy loses!

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Pam 10 correct 0 incorrect
Krys 3 correct 0 incorrect
Amy 2 correct 1 incorrect

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Amy 6 correct 1 incorrect
Krys 5 correct 0 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Award-Winning Women; TV; Science: Odd But True; The Civil War; Roman Mythology; Ends In “Ex”)

The turning point today came on the first Daily Double, where Amy picked up $6,000 and nearly doubled her score! Amy ended up with 14 correct herself in this round, while Pam’s dropping $3,000 on her Daily Double attempt put her in second place going into Final Jeopardy.

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Amy 20 correct 1 incorrect
Pam 24 correct 1 incorrect
Krys 10 correct 1 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 8 (0 today).

Krys and Amy were correct in the Final today, which means that Amy won her 10th game! Tomorrow we’ll be seeing one of the Professors Tournament semifinals, highlighting Sam Buttrey, and we’ll see Amy again on Wednesday!

Today’s interviews:

Krys was visiting South Africa at the time when Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
Pam plays competitive squash.
Amy got her pearls as a gift from her girlfriend.

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Players with at least $11,200 at the end of the Jeopardy! Round have only lost 9.8% of the time since October 4, 2004. The most recent time it happened was November 9, 2020.
  • Viewers need to be aware that editing can make it appear that a variable amount of time can be given on Daily Doubles. However, this is not the case. It is obvious that a number of cuts of extraneous dead air were made in order to ensure that all 61 clues were seen today.
  • It feels to me that Amy’s strategy at this point is probably most similar to Austin Rogers’ strategy from Austin’s original run of games.
  • Today’s “Clue of the Day” was: It was the largest & westernmost of the 11 Confederate states; it was in the category The Civil War. The correct response: What is Texas?

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Amy $25,000 Pam $16,600 Krys $5,400)

Amy: Standard cover bet over Pam is $8,201. Betting more than $8,399 significantly decreases your chances of winning.(Actual bet: $13,000)

Pam: If Amy bets to cover you and she’s incorrect, she falls to $16,799. Bet at least $201; limiting your bet to less than $5,799 will guarantee you at least second place. (Actual bet: $300)

Krys: Not much you can do today; bet whatever you like.(Actual bet: $3,000)
