Samantha added one C and one I to the bonus puzzle. Both words
S _ A R _ E D _ I _ H A _ O _ E L
and not the one she chose. That is often a problem and this time was no exception. Samantha missed out on a bonus $33,000.

Tue 8-25-20 (rerun from 5-3-16) $54,478
On Jeopardy: $26,801

Emily put two P’s and one O into the puzzle. She knew the last word as soon as those letters came up and
I _ _ I _ N ‘ _ _ A K _ L _ N _
at all for her to figure out the first word. That was good for an extra $33,000 to more than double the $21,478 she already won.

On Jeopardy: $22,401

Sherri got one F on the consonant side, and four O’s with her vowel choice. With a headstart like that,
_ O U _ A _ ‘ _ _ O W R O _ _.
Sherri didn’t and she won a Ford Escape worth $31,145 on top of the $26,200 win that got her to the bonus round.

threw her off and cost her an extra $33,000 in the main game.

Fri 8-28-20 (rerun from 5-6-16) $53,352
On Jeopardy: $100,000

James added 2 G’s, one H and one O to the puzzle. What super luck! He didn’t get any letters in the last word but
H _ D _ D N ‘ _ N _ _ D _ H _ M
It was obvious that whatever was on the card was in the bag and he won $33,000 on top of $20,352.
