Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category U.S. Business) for Wednesday, June 11, 2025 (Season 41, Game 198):

The “stencil” logo released in 1979 for this chain used only 2 colors, one of which emphasized “energy” & “value”

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Rob Forrester, a stagehand from Portland, Oregon

Rob Forrester on Jeopardy!

Jan Zimmerman, a retired elementary school music teacher from Newark, Delaware

Jan Zimmerman on Jeopardy!

Matt Massie, an attorney originally from South Charleston, West Virginia (1-day total: $30,000)

Matt Massie on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Matt Massie went aggressive on his Daily Double betting yesterday and walked away with a victory. Today, he faces off against Jan Zimmerman and Rob Forrester.

One thing I want to remind readers, especially about the prediction model: Jeopardy! is a game with a significant amount of variance, even at the regular play level—and part of that variance comes from the fact that we don’t actually know how strong (or weak) the challengers are on any given day. Against average opposition, the prediction model thinks Matt is 63% to win at this point (and a lot of that comes from the inherent advantage that a Jeopardy! champ has against two new players.) But against stronger opposition, that number comes down significantly. So, I don’t exactly appreciate the hate mail that I receive when someone who is considered 60% to win a regular play game happens to lose. It’s completely inappropriate and says more about you than it does me (or the Unified Prediction Model.)

Correct response: What is The Home Depot?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

The logo of The Home Depot, as asked about during Final Jeopardy on June 11, 2025.

The orange-and-white stencil logo of Home Depot, unveiled when its first stores opened in the Atlanta area in 1979, was selected by Don Watt because he believed that the orange color would cause customers to perceive the fledgling chain as one of value and energy.

Business clues in Final Jeopardy always seem to trip players up a lot—while the way into this is to think of a chain with a stencil-looking logo, it always feels more difficult on stage to do so. We’ll see how this one plays.

Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, June 11, 2025 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Lookin’ Back, Texas; Mother’s Milk; Do The Write Thing; Sometimes You Just Gotta Know Stuff; “Old” Songs; Woe-Pourri)

Even though Matt got the Daily Double incorrect, he was the only one with money after 15 clues. At the interviews, the scores were Matt $3,400 Rob -$800 Jan -$1,000.

Statistics at the first break (15 clues):

Matt 7 correct 1 incorrect
Rob 2 correct 3 incorrect
Jan 1 correct 2 incorrect

Today’s interviews:

Rob once met Dick Van Dyke.
Jan had a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 68.
Matt played the viola in youth orchestra.

Both challengers got out of the hole as Matt still led after 30.

Matt 12 correct 3 incorrect
Rob 7 correct 3 incorrect
Jan 5 correct 2 incorrect

Unsurprisingly, this Final Jeopardy turned out to be a Triple Stumper; this one is probably shaping up to be one of the toughest of the season. Matt bet just $1,000 and is now a 2-day champion. He’ll go for #3 tomorrow.

Tonight’s results:

Jan $3,200 – $3,199 = $1 (What is Staples? Meow)
Rob $6,600 – $5,999 = $601 (What was K-Mart?)
Matt $29,000 – $1,000 = $28,000 (What K-Mart) (2-day total: $58,000)

Andy’s Thoughts:

  • Today’s runaway game means that no wagering suggestions will be posted.
  • As was demonstrated multiple times during the opening round, viewers are reminded that the rules of the show are such that incomplete song titles are incorrect, while overfull song titles that contain a correct surrounding lyric are considered correct.
  • Today’s box score will be linked to when posted by the show.
