Happy Tuesday! Welcome to Day 2 of Savannah Guthrie’s hosting stint. Yesterday, $11,699 was raised for the Bowery Mission. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category American Women) for Tuesday, June 15, 2021 (Season 37, Game 187):

During her second marriage, she split her time among homes in New York, New Jersey, Paris & Greece & a yacht

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s contestants:

Erin Rion, a director of clinical services from Napanoch, New York

Erin Rion on Jeopardy!

Quan Do, a catalyst development engineer originally from Annandale, Virginia

Quan Do on Jeopardy!

Katie Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio (2-day total: $16,698)

Katie Sekelsky on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Katie has won twice now thanks to savvy wagering in Final Jeopardy! She’s above average on the signalling device, but she’s also already in the double digits in incorrect responses. If she can keep that statistic low, she’s got a better chance of win number three.

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. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the widowed first lady married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1968; he was one of the world’s richest men at the time. During their short marriage, ending with Aristotle’s death in 1975, the couple lived in many locations: Jackie’s penthouse apartment in the Upper East Side, Aristotle’s apartment in Paris, Jackie’s horse farm in New Jersey, his house in Athens, his private island in Greece, and his yacht, Christina O.
