TWO of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.
WHAT IS THE MOSSAD?
In 1990, Aliza Magen was appointed Mossad’s first female deputy director, serving as such under 3 successive directors before retiring in 1999. When Magen passed away on 4/14/2025, she was honored by the agency as “one of the pillars of Mossad, who left her mark on generations of Mossad employees who were educated according to her legacy and values.”
Over the course of her 40-year career, Magen collected intelligence in various high-profile operations. In interviews, she explained what makes women useful as intelligence agents. “Women can easily be in places where men have to make up a thousand and one excuses to be in,” she said, noting that she often used that ability to her advantage. In addition to blending in, Magen believed that a strong personality and impersonation skills were qualities a woman need to be a first-class agent.
Grace got it right. She bet $5,000 and finished with $$10,200.
TJ went with Interpol. That cost him $9,199 and left him with $5,201.
Spencer got it right, too. He bet $12,000 and won the game with $29,000. Spencer Janes is the new Jeopardy! champ.

Missed the first half of the game, but it sure was a good one. Thought Grace would go all in on the 3rd DD, but meekly bet $1000. All 3 DDs very gettable. Knew Final immediately but blanked on the exact name, All I could come up with was Masada which I knew was wrong.
Got the place of execution, Greek-named era, and the 200/800/1000 $ stumpers.
I don’t remember ever seeing so many stumpers in the first round!
The only clue I didn’t get in the Some Rhyme category was the one Spencer got. I thought that was funny.
I meant to say that the 3 I got were in that Rhyme Category. Other 2 eluded me.
I was 3/3 on DD and got FJ. I think TJ put his response to have something there. I, myself, thought the clue gave more than enough information to get it. For a moment, I thought of Shin Bet (internal security), but thought that such a clue would, alternately, be too difficult.
