Season 39

Mon 3-14: $33,198
On Jeopardy: $16,100

Nicole added two G’s and two O’s to her bonus puzzle that only came with one T. She was
H _ V _ N _ 🟪 _ 🟪 _ O U _ H 🟪 _ _ M E
with the first word in the puzzle, although she knew the rest of it. Well, who can blame her? The fact is most people think of the first two words as a recreational activity. The lost bonus prize was a MINI Cooper.

Tue 3-15: $26,405
On Jeopardy: $38,000

Chris got a D, a P and an O out of his letters. He had the right food in the

Wed 3-16: $17,450
On Jeopardy: $17,201

Crystal got a D and an I from her regular letters, and a C from her Wild Card. She started the first word with the wrong letter and that
_ H O I _ E 🟪 S _ U _ _ L E D 🟪 _ _ E 🟪 _ _ A N _ E S
of success right out of the gate. We haven’t seen that scenario in a while but we just saw the same results on Tuesday — no $39,000!

Thu 3-17: $13,200
On Jeopardy: $19,601

_ _ I N _ 🟪 W _ A _ 🟪 _ _ E 🟪 _ E C _
when the solution was revealed, I thought it for her. The bonus card was worth $45,000.

On Jeopardy: $20,001

Cherain put letters she was already certain of in the first word, namely the I and the G ending. She got one C in the second word and there was another I in there, too. None of it was much help in

to success. Cherain lost out on an extra $39,000, but she had already won over $40K, a feat few can match.
