Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category The Supreme Court) for Monday, June 30, 2025 (Season 41, Game 211):
In this case, “our consideration is limited to the present circumstances” about “equal protection in election processes”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Eileen Darragh, a teacher from Cincinnati, Ohio
Dave McBride, a compliance consultant from Fuquay Varina, North Carolina
Klay Frappier, an accountant originally from McHenry, North Dakota (1-day total: $20,001)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Klay Frappier, who hails from a town of 64 people and whose high school graduating class was 9, is your new Jeopardy! champion, and is only the fourth known champion from North Dakota. He defends his title today against Dave McBride and Eileen Darragh, as he looks to become the first player from North Dakota since Rocky Schmidt in December 1985 to win twice. Yes, that Rocky Schmidt—before becoming Alex Trebek’s assistant and working his way up to become a major producer with the show, Rocky Schmidt was a two-time champion in 1985, and is still the winningest contestant from North Dakota in terms of games won.
Certainly, Klay has made, in an unusual choice for 2025, the choice to take many categories top-to-bottom. I would say that overall, it might not be the best choice for finding Daily Doubles—but while it isn’t the optimal choice overall, it might be the best choice for Klay himself to get the most out of his own game. (Though, if he does go on a run and get to the postseason, it might be worth significant preparation time to get used to the idea of Forrest bouncing and Daily Double hunting.)

Correct response: What is Bush v. Gore?
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.)
In Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court decided, by a 5 to 4 margin, the 2000 Presidential election by ruling that the statewide recount requested by the Florida Supreme Court be halted; the tabulating machines had missed counting over 61,000 votes. The majority in this case—chiefly, the five Republican-leaning judges—ruled that it would be impossible to complete a full statewide recount in time to properly certify the state’s election results, therefore causing an equal protection issue for the state’s voters. In a decision that has been criticised by most legal pundits since, the decision handed the 2000 election to George W. Bush. Looking back, the decision very likely set the benchmark for the increased partisanship seen since on the Court in the 21st century, one that has certainly led to the America of today.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- While it may have worked out in Eileen’s favor today, Ken really needs to remind contestants every time that they can bet up to $2,000 on a Daily Double when their score is not that high.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Dave $12,200 Klay $11,200 Eileen $800)
Klay: Bet between $2,001 (to cover Dave’s small range) and $9,200 (staying ahead of Dave if he makes a cover bet and you’re both incorrect). (Actual bet: $1,001)
Dave: Standard cover bet today is $10,201. (Actual bet: $10,201)
Eileen: Bet whatever you like. (Actual bet: $799)
