Who won the November 8 episode?

The game show took a break between the quarter-finals and the semi-finals by airing an episode where the highest-scoring champions of season 38 competed against each other. Amy, Matt, and Mattea played an exhibition match on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, which was not a competitive game.

Although they earned points for the correct answers, those scores would not be added to the players’ semi-final total. In short, there were no losers or winners in the November 8 game. However, Mattea defeated the other two champions by delivering the maximum number of right answers.

She scored $17,600 in the final round, while Amy’s score was at $904 and Matt’s at $3,600. Speaking about her expectations from Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions 2022, Mattea said:

“It puts a little bit of pressure because the implication is you’re one of the strongest players in the tournament. And so for me, I just really hope my performance in the semifinals will live up to me being a seeded player.”

Matt and Amy, too, shared their thoughts in an interview with Jeopardy!. Matt stated:

“I’ve been told many time that 'This is just gravy, you’ve done so well, don’t worry about it.’ And that’s easy for other people to say, but internally, I’m putting a lot of pressure in myself.”

Amy mentioned:

“To an extent, I knew that I was going up as a representative of my community. I know that I’ve done so much good for them, and that I’ve represented them so well is something that I’ll always be proud of.”

Only time will tell whether their winning streak will work for them in the semi-finals or if other competitors will grab their final spot.
