Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category From the French) for Wednesday, January 3, 2024 (Season 40, Game 83):
With murder, shadows, a nosy reporter & Peter Lorre, 1940’s “Stranger on the Third Floor” is the first example of this, some say
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Rachel Cohen, a consultant originally from Chevy Chase, Maryland
Randall Rayford, a solar project developer from Houston, Texas
Andrew Whatley, an academic administrator originally from Beauregard, Alabama
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
In today’s second Second Chance semifinal, we see Andrew Whatley, Randall Rayford, and Rachel Cohen. Andrew put up over $20,000 going into Final Jeopardy against Yogesh Raut (much like Michael Cavaliere, who won yesterday), while Randall lost to Cris Pannullo and Rachel Cohen lost to Ray Lalonde. I suspect Andrew is the strongest player of the three, but that’s certainly no guarantee of on-stage performance!

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Film noir (literally translated as “black film” or “dark film”) is a famed Hollywood film genre whose heyday was in the 1940s and 1950s. While the definition is oft-debated among film historians, the genre is often seen as the film extension of Depression-era American crime fiction. Classic films in the genre in the National Film Registry include The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, The Big Sleep, Sunset Boulevard, and Notorious.

Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: History Of The Americas; 11-Letter Words; Scientists; Paint, By Numbers; Mil. Abbrev.; William Blake In Pop Culture)
Andrew found the Daily Double immediately; unfortunately, he gave an incorrect response and lost most of his score. (I fell for the same trap he did.) Two-thirds of the way through the round, Randall found the Daily Double, and shocked Ken with a successful True Daily Double! By the end of the round, Randall lead, but the scores were very interesting, as Andrew’s and Rachel’s total equalled Randall’s!
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Randall 21 correct 4 incorrect
Rachel 18 correct 3 incorrect
Andrew 14 correct 4 incorrect

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Kudos to all three players for their general strategy today.
Playing along at home, I certainly had a knack today of matching contestants today on crucial Daily Doubles. I matched Andrew’s response on his today, and I also acted identically to Brendan over on the UK end of things earlier in the day. Whoops!
Today’s box score: January 3, 2024 Box Score.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Randall $19,600 Rachel $13,200 Andrew $6,400)
Andrew: You pretty much need to go all in here to have a hope of victory. (Actual bet: $6,400)
Randall: Standard cover bet over Rachel is $6,801. Don’t go any higher, though, because of the A = B + C situation. (Actual bet: $6,801)
Rachel: Keep Andrew locked out; limit your bet to $399 or less. (Actual bet: $399)
