Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament<\/em> 2023 came to an end, airing the final episode on Thursday, March 9, 2023.<\/p>\n

The competition started last month with 27 former teen players. Speaking about the tournament, the show\u2019s executive producer Michael Davis said:<\/p>\n

“We didn’t want to lose that sort of college energy [this season]. We knew we had these 27 players who are all of college age who come from our existing Jeopardy! community, so this was a great opportunity to bring them back.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Thursday, the tournament announced its winner among three finalists \u2014 Jackson Jones, a junior at Vanderbilt University from Louisville, Kentucky, Maya Wright, a senior at Emory University from Peachtree City, Georgia, and Justin Bolsen, a first-year student at Brown University from Canton, Georgia.<\/p>\n\n

Today’s Jeopardy! winner is Justin Bolsen<\/h2>\n

The finale consisted of two days. Day 1 aired on Wednesday, March 8, 2023<\/a>, where Jackson Jones was leading the game with a score of $24,000. Justin Bolsen ranked second ($13,570) and Maya Wright landed in third place ($3,370).<\/p>\n

In the latest episode, aka day 2 finale, viewers witnessed changes on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

The categories for the first round included \u201cCollege Sports Stuff, The Long-Ago 20th Century, Can We \u201cDis\u201dcuss?, A Business Major, One-Syllable Body Parts, Let\u2019s Get Dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first round seemed like a difficult segment for the players as a total of seven incorrect answers were delivered. Therefore, the scores were lower than on other days. Jackson found the first Daily Double but gave an incorrect response. Despite that, he took the lead in round 1.<\/p>\n

The scores going into the second round were Jackson at $3,600, Justin at $3,000, and Maya at $2,400.<\/p>\n

In the second round, the categories were \u201cFirst Words, 4-Letter Geography, There\u2019s A Name In The Title, Inside Ballet & Opera, You Robot, Take Me To Your Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Double Jeopardy round brought in surprising results. Maya led the game this time after winning a Daily Double and giving multiple correct answers. The third Daily Double went to Jackson but he gave the wrong answer once again. <\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s luck was not working in his favor in the High School Reunion Tournament<\/a><\/em> finale. He gave the highest number of incorrect responses (seven), while Maya gave one and Justin gave three.<\/p>\n

Maya and Justin\u2019s scores were closer to each other compared to Jackson\u2019s. The scores were Maya at $14,200, Justin at $11,000, and Jackson at $5,600.<\/p>\n

In the Final Jeopardy round, all three players delivered the correct answer to the final question. Jackson, who won day 1 of the finale, could not win day 2 because of his low scores from the second round. Justin played smartly and wagered almost all his earnings from today, while Maya fell behind due to her day 1 score.<\/p>\n

Hence, Justin Bolsen<\/a> won Jeopardy!<\/em> today.<\/p>\n
