Correct response: Who is Spike Lee?
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.)
Renowned filmmaker Spike Lee won a Student Academy Award for 1983’s “Joe’s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads.”, which was his master’s degree thesis at Tisch School of the Arts. His films include 1989’s Do the Right Thing, often considered to be one of the biggest Best Picture nomination snubs of all time. Lee finally won a competitive Oscar, for Best Adapted Screenplay, for the 2018 film BlacKkKlansman—the film itself received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. One last point: Because I always say this, by saying “in 2019”, the clue is sufficiently pinned, as the award was presented to Lee in calendar year 2019 (in spite of the film being a 2018 film). Also, I enjoy the use of the term “competitive Oscar”, as this came four years after Lee was awarded an Honorary Academy Award.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: In The Zoom Room; 19th Century America; Handle With Air; A Country Of Laws; Your TV Host With The Most; Homophonic Pairs)
The opening 15 clues saw a good battle between Mattea and Katie, with Mattea holding a small lead (helped by both Allan and Katie taking a $1,000 neg at the bottom of IN THE ZOOM ROOM). The second half of the round saw Allan play very strong, going from -$1,000 to the lead at $4,800 (including $2,000 on a Daily Double.)
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Mattea 5 correct 0 incorrect
Katie 6 correct 1 incorrect
Allan 2 correct 3 incorrect
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Allan 10 correct 3 incorrect
Mattea 9 correct 1 incorrect
Katie 7 correct 1 incorrect
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Saintly Spots; Trios; Scientific Canadian; These Songs Really Move; Female Literary Characters; 5-Letter Wordles)
It was Allan who found the first Daily Double, but he only bet $2,000 at the $800 level—a bigger bet might have been better for him. Meanwhile, Mattea, in spite of her strong play, seemed spooked by the SCIENTIFIC CANADIAN category; it might have been worth going there just to keep the Daily Double out of Katie’s hands! Katie doubled her $7,000 with only three clues left in order to prevent a runaway! Scores going into Final saw Mattea just in “crush game” territory at $21,800, Katie at $14,000, and Allan at $10,000.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Mattea 22 correct 1 incorrect
Katie 14 correct 2 incorrect
Allan 16 correct 4 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 64 (0 today).
Mattea and Allan got Final correct today to finish first and second; Mattea picks up win #9!

Katie went to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD.
Mattea got to work at the Parliament of Canada as a tour guide.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- It shouldn’t come as a surprise after his low Daily Double bets, but Allan didn’t bet enough in Final to give him any chance whatsoever at victory.
- Link to the box score: April 15, 2022 Box Score
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Mattea $21,800 Katie $14,000 Allan $10,000)
Mattea: Standard cover bet today is $6,201. (Actual bet: $6,201)
Katie: You’re safe to just cover Allan; bet $6,001. (Actual bet: $8,000)
Allan: Your only chance of winning is a single-get Final and a sufficiently large bet. Go all-in—but your absolute minimum is $5,600. (Actual bet: $5,000)
