00:54Our champion, Tristan Williams, spent all last week behind that champion's podium, pulling off three runaway victories and two wins
01:02that were much closer heading into Final Jeopardy!
01:04After Friday's game, Tristan told us he has spent 16 years trying to make it onto this stage.
01:09But with eight wins so far, it seems like being a Jeopardy! contestant has been worth the wait, I hope.

05:13A bingo winner, in fact, right?
05:15That's right, Ken.
05:16Um, at my elementary school, every year, the day before Thanksgiving break, we would do something called Turkey Bingo, where
05:23we would have a school-wide assembly, all the kids would get in the gym together, and we'd play a
05:28big, long series of bingo games for ascending series of prizes throughout.
05:33And the grand prize, if you got a full card at the very end, if you're one of, I think,
05:37five or six kids, you got to take home a frozen Thanksgiving turkey.
05:41Every year, I desperately wanted to win that turkey.
05:44Sure, what child wouldn't?
05:45Of course.
05:46So, one year, I actually did.
05:49Hey!
05:49And my sisters were joking amongst themselves, oh, we should probably go pick him up just in case he won
05:55that turkey.
05:56And then, lo and behold, they showed up, and I was at the principal's office struggling to carry this huge
06:01turkey.

06:19Wow.
06:20And then we both got speeding tickets.
06:21We were both under 18, so we went to defensive driving.
06:24So he had a day to show me he was worthy of dating.
06:28Love blossomed at defensive driving.
06:30It did.
06:30It sure did.
06:31Plus, you can tell he's a bad boy, right?
06:32Yes, exactly.
06:33This guy's got a speeding ticket or something.

18:29We'll start with Thomas Travato, who had a great game and had to come back after a bold
18:33Daily Double wager.
18:34What did you come up with in Final, Thomas?
18:36What is the Chrysler building?
18:38Yes.
18:39The Art Deco skyscraper never actually held Chrysler HQ, but it did showcase cars.
18:43What did you wager?
18:45Just $17.
18:46Lucky number 17 takes you to $1,217.
18:49Amy Dewey was in second place with $4,400.
18:52Was she thinking about the Chrysler building?
18:54Yes, she was.
18:56Her wager?
18:57$0.
18:58So she stays at $4,400.
19:00Probably good for second place today because Tristan Williams could not be caught with $22,400.
19:05Will he be earning more or less than that today?
19:07He has Chrysler building as a response.
19:10He'll be adding $7,600 for a nice, even $30,000 today.
19:14And you're now a nine-day champion, Tristan.
19:17Your total winnings, $188,501.
