Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Games) for Thursday, March 13, 2025 (Season 41, Game 134):
This game inaugurated a craze that “scandalized the puritanical and drove chiropractors wild with delight”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Liz Engelhardt, a teacher from Concord, New Hampshire
Jack Goldfisher, a screenwriter & director from Los Angeles, California
James Corson, a nuclear engineer from Frederick, Maryland (2-day total: $70,800)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After a pair of very impressive victories, James Corson goes for victory #3 today against Jack Goldfisher and Liz Engelhardt. James’s performance so far, picking up over $70,000 in two wins, should be enough to at least see him into Champions Wildcard at this point. However, he will likely need another victory, if not two, in order to get him into the Tournament of Champions.

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 1966, the recently-released game Twister was in trouble: Sears was about to pull the game off the shelves out of fears that it was too risqué. Then, Milton Bradley publicists managed to get a copy of the game in the hands of Johnny Carson and The Tonight Show, and on May 3, 1966, Carson and Eva Gabor played the game on late-night television. Audiences went wild for the scenes of the two stars climbing over each other while playing the game, and the game started flying off the shelves, selling more than three million copies over the next year.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Despite the words I put below, I do want to state that all three of our players made strategic and generally defensible wagers here, and my words below are meant to be incredibly minor quibbles with the strategic choices, for the benefit of future contestants when analyzing this situation. It was not an easy wagering situation today and I thought our players did okay with it.
- Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Jack $20,400 Liz $16,200 James $13,200)
James: A bet of no more than $4,800 wins on a Triple Stumper where Liz bets big. However, you can force Liz into being correct herself and making a bet by betting at least $3,001 here. (Actual bet: $0)
Jack: Standard cover bet today is $12,001. (Actual bet: $12,001)
Liz: You can’t both cover James and win a Triple Stumper. If you think James is going to go big, bet at least $10,201—but you might as well go all in to force a cover bet from Jack. If you want to go small, a bet between $1,801 and $2,999 forces James to be correct to pass you, while also defending against his entire small range. (Actual bet: $10,400)
