[Warning: The following post contains MAJOR spoilers for the Friday, October 3, episode of Jeopardy<\/em>!]<\/strong><\/p>\n A freak event happened on Jeopardy!<\/em><\/a> as the game show<\/a> contestants all wagered the same amount on Final Jeopardy. Only one contestant answered it correctly, so it all came down to the wagers.<\/p>\n TJ Fisher, from San Francisco, California, returned for his second game on Friday, October 3. He has a one-day total<\/a> of $15,089. In his second game, Fisher faced off against Roberto Carabeo, from New York, New York, and Ellie Baker, from Louisville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n Fisher, a marketing specialist, took a big lead when he answered five clues correctly before finding the Daily Double on clue nine. With $2,800, he wagered $500 in \u201cThe Elements.\u201d The clue read, \u201cOak Ridge National Laboratory predictably has a webpage for this superheavy element, no. 117 on the periodic table.\u201d \u201cWhat is uranium?\u201d he answered incorrectly, dropping down to $2,300. The correct response was tennessine. Fisher still kept the lead despite the wrong answer.<\/p>\n He answered three of the last six questions correctly, giving him $3,300 by the commercial break. Fisher maintained the lead throughout the rest of the round and ended with $8,100. Carabeo, an environmental designer, had $1,200. Baker, a lawyer, was in third place with $800.<\/p>\n In Double Jeopardy, Baker moved into second place by answering the first two questions correctly after Carabeo answered one wrong. She also found the first Daily Double on clue three. With $3,600 in her bank, she wagered $2,000. In \u201cGods & Goddesses,\u201d the clue read, \u201cThe protector deity of Alexandria was Serapis, an amalgam, as his name suggests, of this ruler of the dead & Apis.\u201d<\/p>\n She hesitated before host Ken Jennings<\/a> prompted her to answer. \u201cWho is Osiris?\u201d Baker answered. She was right, moving up to $5,600, creating a narrower gap for first place.<\/p>\n As the round continued, Baker took the lead by $300. Fisher found the second DD on clue nine and tried to take back his lead. He decided to wager $4,500 out of his $8,900. In \u201cSafe Words,\u201d the clue was \u201d A word meaning safely isolated, it\u2019s the title of Catherine Coldstream\u2019s memoir about her \u2018Years as a Nun.’\u201d \u201cWhat is cloistered?\u201d Fisher answered correctly, taking back the lead with $13,400.<\/p>\n Fisher had a runaway game with $23,800 by the end of the round. Baker was in second place with $10,000. Carabeo had $800.<\/p>\n The category for Final Jeopardy was \u201cGroundbreaking Drama.\u201d The clue read, \u201cAct I of this 1879 play opens in a room with \u2018a small sofa\u2019, \u2018a small table\u2019 & \u2018a cabinet with china and other small objects.’\u201d The correct response was \u201cWhat is A Doll\u2019s House<\/em>?\u201d which only one of the contestants got right.<\/p>\n Carabeo had the right response and wagered $0, giving him $800. Baker answered, \u201cWhat is The Glass Menagerie<\/em>?\u201d which was wrong, but she didn\u2019t lose any money because she also wagered $0, leaving her with $10,000. The reigning champion answered, \u201cWhat is Uncle Vanya<\/em>?\u201d He wagered $0, leaving him with $23,800. He was the first two-day champion in about a week. Fisher will return for game three on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cNo one wanted to wager a thing, and that means TJ Fisher is a two-day champion with $38,889,\u201d Ken Jennings said.<\/p>\n According to The Jeopardy Fan<\/a>, this is the first time in regular play that all three contestants have wagered $0.<\/p>\n
