David Sibley, who won $78,098 after 4 matches, had a difficult time catching up to Pam Warren and Cris Pannullo in the first round of Jeopardy! In SUPERNATURAL STORIES, Cris found the round’s Daily Double, he bet $1,000 out of his $600 (which is the maximum bet if you have under $1,000) and came up with the correct question. There were 2 triple stumpers and 2 rebounds in the round. Going into Double Jeopardy!, Cris had $6,800, Kris had $4,800, and David had $2,000. In Double Jeopardy!, Cris made the game so difficult for David and Pam to catch up for the lead. In BODIES OF WATER, Cris found the round’s 1st Daily Double, he bet $7,000 out of his $8,400 and came up with the correct question. When I heard that Cris bet $7,000 on a Daily Double, I said, “Gutsy player, Cris, easy come, easy go”. In BEG, Pam found the round’s 2nd Daily Double, she bet $4,000 out of her $7,600 and came up with the correct question. The $400 clue in SAME FIRST & LAST CONSONANT remained hidden. There were 4 triple stumpers and 2 rebounds in the round. Going into Final Jeopardy!, David had $29,800, Pam had $14,000, and David had $4,000. The category was BEFORE THEY WERE AUTHORS. The category was, “While working for British naval intelligence during World War II, he was code-named 17F”. David came up with, “Who is Ian Fleming?”, which is correct and bet $3, which took him to $4,003. Pam also came up with what David said and bet $13,995 (pulling a Clavin by $7,995), which took her to $27,995. Cris did not come up with what David and Pam said, but instead he came up with, “Who was Orwell?” instead and bet $221, which dropped him down to $29,579. Cris Pannullo is the NEW JEOPARDY! CHAMPION. He’ll be back on Monday to defend. David Sibley leaves us as a 4-time winner with $78,098. It was a great week with him. We may see him in next year’s Tournament of Champions, but Luigi de Guzman is still the only player to secure his spot for next year’s tournament. @jeopardy #kenjennings #davidsibley #5games #recap #2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjJ4QivOBc7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
