Jeopardy! is all set to return with a new episode on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, bringing back the Diamonds bracket of Champions Wildcard. This segment kicked off on Friday, October 20, 2023, after the conclusion of the first Champions Wildcard contest, which ended with Josh Saak entering the Tournament of Champions.
Now, 27 contestants from seasons 37 and 38 have returned for another round of challenges. This episode will see another set of three contestants battle it out for a potential spot at the Tournament of Champions, continuing the pre-season festivities of the show.
In the upcoming round of the game show, Carlos Chaidez will face off against Emily Sands and Phillip Howard. Of course, this will not be the first appearance for any of the participants. It would be especially interesting to see Emily return, who was one of the more aggressive players on her first appearance.
Jeopardy! is one of the oldest and most renowned game shows in the world. It began airing in the early 1960s and has since then continued to grow to become a global name. A large part of this is because of the game show's offbeat format and engaging nature, things that have made it stand out from the competition. Moreover, the final round of the game show also plays a huge part in this growing popularity.
The final round of Jeopardy! is arguably one of the best parts of the game show. This is because the final round allows viewers to participate from the comfort of their homes. Viewers can do this by guessing the correct answer to the final question ahead of the episode's air time.
Over the years, this has become a common practice for the cult fanbase of the game show. However, as this can still be a complicated process, we have compiled the question, answer, and other relevant details from the upcoming episode below.

The final question for the upcoming round of the game show reads:
"A letter from him begins, “On the thirty-third day after I had left Cadiz, I reached the Indian Ocean”"
This question is from the category "Historic Letters." This is a very offbeat topic and not one that participants expect on a regular basis.
