Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, bringing back the last quarter-final in the Champions Wildcard Diamonds bracket, meaning that there would be only nine players remaining after this episode.
So far, the entire 40th season has seen only returning contestants for the pre-season competitions. This season is yet to feature someone new for a normal game. Following today, the Diamonds bracket of the contest will move to the semifinals.
In the upcoming episode of the game show, Dana Hill, a stay-at-home mom from Thousand Oaks, California, will face off against Nancy Donehower, a retired college admission counselor from Portland, Oregon, and Dave Rapp, a writer from Valley Village, California.
Of course, Dave stands out because of his initial appearance where he won three games back-to-back. Nancy Donehower, meanwhile, was a giant killer in her original appearance. It all goes to prove that this would be a round worth watching, with nothing separating the three at the beginning.
