Explaining the rounds of the game show, the synopsis further states:
"In the third round, ‘Final Jeopardy,’ the contestants can name their own jackpot -- as long as it's within the amount of money they've already earned. If a player finishes the second round with zero dollars, they are eliminated [from the final round]."
In the upcoming episode, Dee Williams and Jake DeArruda will be seen competing against the six-day champion Troy Meyer. After his sixth win in the previous episode, Meyer now has a total of $214,802.
