It would have been a perfect 2 out of 3 week in Final Jeopardy! but everybody got it on Friday. We’re not complaining, by any means. We can’t remember the last time we saw an 11/15 week. The final clues were not that hard, it’s true. Still, I didn’t get the Holiday Songs one. I have never seen the musical that song was in, even though I really like musicals.

This week’s winners:
Mon 12/22/25 $17,201 Guy Branum
Tue 12/23/25 $26,401 Michelle Tsai
Wed 12/24/25 $40,800 Melanie Hirsch
Thu 12/25/25 $19,200 Michelle Tsai
Fri 12/26/25 $15,201 Michelle Tsai

This was a Second Chance Tournament so the above figures are just scores. The top prize on Friday was $35,000, which went to Michelle Tsai for having the highest score at the end of the last 2 games.

Jeopardy! also paid out $15,000 to the other 2 contestants: Guy Branum and Melanie Hirsch.
