Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for January 29
With a runaway lead, Neilish became the winner of the January 29 match. Everyone was able to get the right answer for Final Jeopardy as well.
Neilish amassed $28,200 heading into Final Jeopardy, carefully providing correct answers throughout the game. He didn’t need to wager anything and came away with a place in the semi-final.
Weckiai was far behind with $4,600, but she was able to get another $2,999 with her bet. She ended up in second place with $7,599.
Meanwhile, Greg only had $800 after being unable to get several Daily Doubles. His correct response in Final Jeopardy gave him another $231 for third place with a total of $1,031.
Final Jeopardy Answer for January 29
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on January 29, 2025 is “What is The Pilgrim’s Progress?”
Written by John Bunyan in 1678, “The Pilgrim’s Progress” or more fully “The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come” is considered one of the most important pieces of Protestant literature. The second volume, or Part II as the clue says, was written six years after in 1684.
The quote “I see myself now at the end of my journey; my toilsome days are ended” is found in Chapter 10: The Pilgrims at Home. The line that follows is “I am going to see that head which was crowned with thorns, and that face which was spit upon for me.” But we imagine that including this in the clue would make things too easy.
