Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for September 9
Adam became the new Jeopardy champion after being the only contestant of the three to get the right answer for Final Jeopardy. While he didn’t have a commanding lead going into the final segment, he was able to hold off his competitors.
Heading into Final Jeopardy with $10,600, Adam won $5,401 with his wager and finished first with $16,001. That’s not a bad sum for a single day’s work.
Unfortunately, both Amanda and Rachel weren’t able to provide the right response. Amanda guessed Rosalyn Carter, who passed away in 2023. This meant that her $4,000 total dropped to $0 as she risked everything, landing her in third place. Rachel had $8,000 but came up with actress Shirley Temple instead, making her lose $2,602 to end up in second place with $5,398.
