Final Jeopardy results for the first 4 days of the week were pitiful indeed. There was one triple stumper and the other 3 clues only got one right answer. That changed on Friday when everyone got the final clue. Going by those results, Tuesday’s clue was the hardest and Friday’s was the easiest. I don’t know… U.S. Cities was the only one I thought would stump the players.

I personally think as Jeopardy enters this super champ phase and much of the leadership has turned over, the clues on Jeopardy are getting more difficult. I often watch old episodes, and the knowledge base is a lot less obscure than what we see today. I dont know if it’s true, but it also feels like triple stumpers are on the rise. And the game pace in general seems faster. Ken reads the clues faster, the contestants buzz in faster. Even though there are tons of triple stumpers, contestants still clear the boards. From the point of keeping the game challenging for increasingly “trivial professional” contestants who compete in Trivia Nationals and Learned League as a minor league for Jeopardy, i get making the game harder, but the producers risk turning off the fans.
Hi lemmy, I invite you to read Spoiler Talk during the week If you want to compare some old clues to new clues. I post an old category on Mon & Fri, and an old row on Wed. I think you’ll find that triple stumpers are not increasing.
Also, once in a blue moon, an old clue will coincide with a current clue on the show, like it did on this World Aiports final on 11/29/24.
