17:02After an eventful game, Jamie comes into Final Jeopardy in the lead with 23,800.
17:07Here is the category for you three today.
17:10Opera.
17:10Are you opera fans?
17:11We may find out after the break.
17:20It's time for opera, everyone's favorite Final Jeopardy category.
17:23Here's the clue.
17:25The name of this opera means faithful.
17:27It's used as an alias by a character who implores a prisoner not to lose faith.
17:3230 seconds starts now, players.
17:34Good luck.
18:05Let's begin in the middle with Tini Howard, $2,800.
18:08And what Final Jeopardy response?
18:09Tini, you wrote down the opera Bidelio by Beethoven, and that is correct.
18:14And you said read more comics, and that's also correct.
18:16Everyone should.
18:16You're two for two.
18:17How much will you add to that score?
18:192,699 moves you up to 5,499.
18:23Toto Zhang was in second place with 8,400 after a great game, but a tough daily double miss.
18:27Will he be adding to that as well?
18:29He wrote down Fidelio, yes.
18:31And a prediction about the 2048 WNBA draft.
18:34We'll see what happens.
18:35I don't know yet if that's right or wrong.
18:37What did you wager, Toto?
18:382,622 moves you up to 11,022.
18:42Probably good for second place today because Jamie Ding has $23,800.
18:47Is he a fan of Beethoven's only opera?
18:49He has Fidelio as well.
18:51He wagered $6,200, bringing him to an even $30,000.
18:56What a game to end the week with.
18:57You're now a 26-game Jeopardy! champion, Jamie.
19:00Your total, $732,000.
19:03We'll be back here on the Alex Provex stage on Monday.
