Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Epitaphs) for Wednesday, March 9, 2022 (Season 38, Game 128):
Her epitaph, from a 1925 poem by her, ends, “She knows that her dust is very pretty”; “dust” was in another she wrote for herself
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Sallie Bieterman, an actor & museum educator originally from Seattle, Washington
Shelley Vinyard, an environmental advocate from Washington, DC
Maureen O’Neil, an executive assistant from Rye Beach, New Hampshire (2-day total: $21,000)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: New Hampshire’s Maureen O’Neil won her second game yesterday, rebounding from her $2,200 total on Monday with $18,800 yesterday. Today’s challengers are Shelley Vinyard from DC and Sallie Bieterman originally from Seattle.
Another thought I had, which came about from Ken saying “No harm, no foul” after all three players got a clue incorrect on yesterday’s show: in my opinion, “no harm, no foul, you all lost the same amount” is a more egregious statement to make in a Jeopardy! context than “Single Jeopardy” is. Because everyone losing the same amount of money, in most cases, affects the proportionality of the scores, one player is inherently harmed more from it, as it may lead to one or more players being in a worse position in Final Jeopardy.
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, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round categories: In Recent News, The Apollo Program, Literary Character Spoilers, Furniture, 3-Letter Movie Titles, “Cat” Got Your Tongue
Maureen went 3/5 in 3-LETTER MOVIE TITLES in the opening segment and parlayed that into a $3,000 lead after the opening 15 clues.
Post-interviews, Sallie found the Daily Double immediately, but couldn’t even hazard a guess; meanwhile, Shelley had a strong back half of the round, and nearly caught Maureen by the end of it.
Double Jeopardy! Round categories: So That’s What They Looked Like, From the State Song, 3 Consecutive Consonants, Dynasties of China, Names in Pop Culture, Eponymou Body Parts
Unfortunately for Shelley, she was unable to identify Grandma Moses, and sunk $4,000 on a Daily Double. She recovered to take the lead midway through Double Jeopardy. However, Sallie picked up the final Daily Double—getting this one correct—and Maureen picked up the final three clues to take a slim lead going into Final. Scores going into Final were Maureen at $9,000, Shelley at $8,800, and Sallie at $1,500.
Methodical play, and 16 Triple Stumpers, among our players today led to six unplayed clues—but at least they were at the $200 and $400 levels?
In Final, Maureen was able to solve what a lot of people in the comments weren’t able to in a single-solve Final Jeopardy, becoming a 3-day champion!

Today’s interviews:
Sallie got an unexpected raccoon guest at her birthday.
Shelley rode a bike from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK in college.
Maureen has attended 5 different colleges.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- While going all-in from the lead isn’t as egregious in a game this close, because if you’re betting to cover, you’re probably going to lose anyway if you’re wrong, it’s probably still best to bet as little as you need, just in case.
- Kudos to WXVT for sticking with Jeopardy! and not airing the Champions League pre-game show.
Final Jeopardy! betting suggestions:
Maureen: Standard cover bet here is $8,601.
Shelley: To stay ahead of Sallie, you should bet no more than $5,799.
Sallie: Your maximum bet today should be $1,099, to stay ahead of Maureen in case she’s wrong.
