This week, there were no triple stumpers in FJ and two triple solves, one on the last day of the semi-finals and the other in the second final match.

Jeff Xie and Alan Koolik finished in a tie at $54,200 and a tiebreaker clue was correctly answered by Jeff. He won the $75,000 top prize. “I knew that I had to get the Final Jeopardy! clue right, and when Alan also gave the correct answer, my jaw dropped because I knew we were tied,” Jeff said. “When the tiebreaker category – The Civil War – was announced, I was excited because history is a strength of mine. When I saw “Shiloh,” I knew the answer, and the rest, quite fittingly, was history.”

Alan won $54,200, more than double the guaranteed second prize of $25,000; and Cooper won $31,200, more than double the guaranteed third prize of $15,000.
