A brand new episode of Jeopardy!<\/em> Season 39 aired on Friday, March 24, 2023, featuring three contestants. One of the players was the returning champion, Alec Chao, who banked $15,505 on Thursday\u2019s episode. In the latest installment, the management and program analyst from Fort Lauderdale, Florida played his second game against two new players \u2014 Tamara Ghattas, an editor from Chicago, Illinois, and Michael Murphy, a test engineer from Gilroy, California.<\/p>\n

The official synopsis of the game show reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cA returning champion and two challengers test their buzzer skills and their knowledge in a wide range of academic and popular categories.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The current week ended with the winner who is set to return for the next episode that will air on Monday.<\/p>\n\n

Today’s Jeopardy!<\/em> winner is Tamara Ghattas<\/h2>\n

In the March 24 episode, Tamara Ghattas defeated one-day winner Alec Chao<\/a>, who struggled to top the scoreboard in all three rounds.<\/p>\n

The categories for the first round in the latest episode were \u201cU.S. Metropolitan Partners, Cats: The Non-Musical, Finnish Him!, What\u2019ll It \u201cB\u201d?, Change A Letter, The WWE.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alec gave the maximum number of correct answers in the first round. He delivered 13 correct and one incorrect response, while new player Michael Murphy answered 10 questions correctly and one incorrectly. However, Michael found a Daily Double and won $4,000, which gave him a lead. While Michael landed in first position and Alec in second, Tamara struggled to get herself out of the minus score. But she did it in the end and landed in third place.<\/p>\n

The scores of the players going into the second round included Michael at $8,800, Alec at $7,000, and Tamara at $800.<\/p>\n

In the second round of the Ken Jennings-hosted episode<\/a>, the categories were \u201cThe Fog Of War, Before & Actors, At Rest In Westminster Abbey, U.S. Colleges, Rejected Authors, 6-Letter Rhymers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Double Jeopardy round worked in favor of Tamara as viewers saw a jump from third position to first. She found two Daily Doubles that helped her to change her game and score $13,800. While she came first, Alec continued to be in the second position. He banked $7,800 and Michael $7,200. Unfortunately, the California engineer\u2019s luck didn\u2019t work in the second round as his rank dropped from first to third. Plus, the round ended with three unplayed clues, which was something that rarely happens on the game show.<\/p>\n

In the Final Jeopardy round, only Tamara gave the correct answer to the final question. While viewers thought the judges would give Alec a win as well, they didn\u2019t accept the alternate answer. He came second and Michael landed in third place.<\/p>\n

Hence, Tamara Ghattas won Jeopardy!<\/em> today.<\/p>\n
