00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Picture Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:13Let's meet today's contestants.
00:16A baseball usher, sports blogger, and physicist from Los Angeles, California, Ray Yen.
00:23A retired stay-at-home mom, originally from Queens, New York, Suzanne Kerla-Blank.
00:30And our returning champion, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Jamie Dean,
00:38whose 28-day cash winnings total $774,601.
00:47And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:54Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. Welcome to Jeopardy.
00:57Yesterday, for the first time in nine games, our champion, Jamie Dean, did not have the game locked up heading
01:03into Final Jeopardy.
01:04His back was against the wall, he had to be right, and he came up with a correct response of
01:08La Marseillaise.
01:09But we did learn yesterday that even a super champ like Jamie can be beaten on the buzzer.
01:14So, perhaps good news there for Suzanne and Ray.
01:16Good luck to all three of you. Here comes the Jeopardy round.
01:19Your six categories are...
01:22First, Amazing Andrews.
01:24Then, some familiar phrases.
01:26Do I look fad in this?
01:29Followed by primer, foundation, and lip gloss.

01:57Familiar phrases for a thousand.
01:59Answer.
01:59A daily double for you there, Jamie.
02:03How much of that $1,400 do you care to risk?
02:06True daily double.
02:07All right, you'll have $2,800 if you're right in familiar phrases.
02:11This phrase, meaning a commotion over something little, predates the Shakespeare title.
02:18Uh, what does matcha do about nothing?
02:20That's the right play.
02:21You double up to $2,800.
02:24Select again.

03:33The other guy in Wham!
03:34Or Andrew Ridgely.
03:35Back to you, Suzanne.
03:37Raises for 800.
03:38A serious incident on April 14th, 1970, led to this five-word phrase being used humorously for less serious situations.

03:50We have a problem.
03:51Back to you, Suzanne.
03:53Do I look fat in this for 800?

04:01this brand of poster.
04:06Remember Magic Eye?
04:07Back to you, Suzanne.
04:09Let's do lip gloss for 800.

05:04Do I look fat in this or 400?
05:07This craze from the aughts, also known as the lying down game, may be old news, but I'm still on

05:12I'm face down on the ground as we speak.
05:15Jamie.
05:16What is planking?
05:16Planking is correct.
05:17You're in the lead of the break, which I will spend lying down on the ground planking.
05:22I have to assume that Ray Yen from here in L.A. is the only baseball usher slash physicist we've
05:27ever had on the show.
05:28Welcome to Jeopardy.
05:30I understand the way you got here was interesting.
05:32You've been playing Jeopardy Bar League.
05:34Yeah.
05:34Yeah.
05:34So I've been trying to be on, get on the show since probably like 2010.
05:39Wow.
05:40And then I've been in the contestant pool several times, but, you know, love the gang, love bar trivia.
05:46So I go to the Alamo Draft House and...
05:49This is one of our Jeopardy Bar League live events.
05:51Right, right, right.
05:52And then I get to meet the contestant team.
05:55So that put me on the fast track and now I'm here.
05:57They spotted you in person.
05:59It's like seeing Lana Turner at the malt shop.
06:01They were like, we got to get this guy.
06:02Well, you're here.
06:03You did it.
06:04Good job.
06:04Suzanne Perla Blanc, originally from Queens, is a retired stay-at-home mom.
06:08And Suzanne, a 20-year veteran of what?
06:11Playing American Mahjong.
06:12Okay.
06:13Is this a weekly game?
06:14Same people or...
06:16A lot of the same people since I started playing.
06:18I've relocated a few times as an adult.
06:20And when I moved from New York to Baltimore, I met some women who said to me,
06:27do you know how to play Mahjong?
06:28And I said, who plays Mahjong?
06:29My grandmother plays Mahjong.
06:31So even after I kind of insulted them, they still invited me to play and they taught me how.
06:35And then I've moved twice since, and now I'm teaching some of my new neighbors how to play, so paying
06:41it forward.
06:41And it's a great way to meet people and socialize.
06:45I'm glad Mahjong culture is so forgiving and embracing.
06:47They welcomed you.
06:49Jamie Ding is our returning champion.
06:51And Jamie, in high school, you were in an unusual club, perhaps the only one of its kind.
06:54I was on the radio astronomy team S. The S was there to make it rats instead of just rat.
07:00What is a radio astronomy team? Is this competitive?
07:04No, because we were probably the only one.
07:06But we had a radio telescope on the roof, and we had trouble getting it working.
07:11But we also, each year, we would go on a field trip to West Virginia for a week to the
07:16National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
07:18Ah, that sounds great.
07:19And theirs works, unlike the one on the roof, probably.
07:22And Miss Harreld, she was the teacher. She has since retired, but she was amazing. It was all her.
07:27That's great. Shout out to the retired Miss Harreld.
07:29You have control of the board right now, Jamie. Make the next selection.

18:41Suzanne Perleblank saved $100 to play Final Jeopardy, and your response was,
18:45Suzanne, a black hole. Sorry, no. What did you wager? There goes $100. Thanks for
18:53being here, Suzanne. Ray Yen is in second place with $7,600. What did he come up
18:57with? Didn't have anything. He wagered $2,400. That'll leave him with $5,200.
19:04Second place, I believe, today because Jamie Ding could not be caught with
19:07$20,200. Was he correct in Final? He wrote down, Clay Pigeon. No. Before it was a
19:14spaceship, a flying saucer was a clay disc used by trap shooters. What did you
19:19wager, Jamie? Less room to maneuver today. You lose $1,199, leaving you with
19:24$19,001, and now a 29-game total of $793,602. We'll be back here on the Alex
19:32for Backstage tomorrow. I hope we see you then.
