He gave multiple wrong answers and was unable to beat Kelly in the buzzer war. The returning champion gave 11 correct and five incorrect answers. Kelly, on the other hand, gave only eight correct answers, but most of them were high-valued. She took the lead in the first round, while another new player, Mark Bernstein, landed in third place after missing the Daily Double. He delivered four correct and one incorrect answer.<\/p>\n<p>The scores of the players going into the second round were Kelly at $5,200, Stephen at $3,000, and Mark at $800.<\/p>\n<p>In the second round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/pop-culture\/who-is-ken-jennings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Ken Jennings<\/a>-hosted episode, the categories were \u201cThe Caribbean, Songs From Movies, Etymology, Irish Authors, Shape Up, Ship Out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Double Jeopardy round came with two Daily Doubles. Mark picked both but answered only one correctly. He remained in third place, while Stephen and Kelly\u2019s ranks interchanged. Kelly lost points due to a couple of high-value incorrect answers. This gave Stephen a little push to grab the first position on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n<p>The scores of the players in the second round were Stephen at $12,600, Kelly at $11,600, and Mark at $4,000.<\/p>\n<p>In the Final Jeopardy round, Stephen&#8217;s reign came to an end after winning eight games consecutively. His and Mark\u2019s final answers were incorrect and thus their scores went below the $5,000 mark.
