 Here are today's contestants:

- Peter McFerrin, an energy industry professional from Corona, California; and

- Chris D'Angelo, a content manager from Washington, D.C. Chris is an eight-day champ with winnings of $194,201.


Jeopardy!


A BAD HARE DAY // BRAZILIAN GEOGRAPHY // FEAR NOT THE PHOBIA // BILLS & BILLYS // CODE RED // COMPLETE THE PROVERB


DD1 - $800 - CODE RED - He began organizing the Red Army in 1918 but lost his post as people's commissar for war in 1925 (Peter added $2,100 up to $7,700.)


Scores at first break: Chris -$1,200, Peter $4,200, Camryn $4,200.


Scores entering DJ: Chris $600, Peter $8,300, Camryn $5,000.


Double Jeopardy!


THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE // ENDS IN "SS" // SIGNS & SYMBOLS // CELEBRITY MEMOIRS // PRETTY LITTLE // LYRES


DD2 - $1,200 - SIGNS & SYMBOLS - An interrobang combines these 2 punctuation marks into a single one (Chris moved into second by doubling to $10,800 vs. $15,500 for Peter.)


DD3 - $800 - THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE - 1533: No. 2 in a series, she's crowned Queen of England, briefly (Chris dropped $3,600 down to $10,000 vs. $19,500 for Peter.)


Peter dominated most of the way, but after a very slow start, Chris was able to get back into the game with a double-up on DD2 and barely kept it alive into FJ at $11,200 vs. $20,700 for Peter and $10,200 for Camryn.


Final Jeopardy!


IDIOMS AND EXPRESSIONS - In the 1830s, cities on the Mississippi banned cardsharps, creating more of these, now meaning one who takes big risks


Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Peter dropped $1,701 to win with $18,999.


Final scores: Chris $0, Peter $18,999, Camryn $0.


Clue selection strategy: After DD2 was found, Peter chose twice from the same category while DD3 was still available, helping his trailing opponents to have a better opportunity to select it and possibly make a big move.


Correct Qs: DD1 - Who was Trotsky? DD2 - What are exclamation point and question mark? DD3 - Who was Ann Boleyn? FJ - What are riverboat gamblers?
