It was the same old story in the “Jeopardy!” round as Mattea Roach built herself a comfortable lead. She finished the round with $7,000, while Kelly Flynn had $3,000 and Jaime Sisson had $2,600.
In “Double Jeopardy!,” things only got more comfortable for the defending champion. Roach wound up with $28,400. In second place sat Sisson with $6,600. Unfortunately, Flynn finished with -$2,600 and couldn’t qualify for the final clue.
With the game out of reach, Roach had no pressure in “Final Jeopardy!” once again. Still, she answered the clue correctly. However, she did not wager anything. Her 22-day total now stands at $534,984.
