Today's Jeopardy! winner is Claire Sattler

All the contestants played well in the latest episode 6 of the High School Reunion Tournament. The two players who gave each other some tough competition were Claire Sattler and Rohan Kapileshwari.

In the first round, the categories were “Home From College, What’s That Sci. Abbrev.?, Nonpotent Potables, Describing The Musical Instrument, Begins & Ends With “L”, Daniel Radcliffe On Harry Potter.”

The players took some time to get the hang of the game in the first round. Rohan took the lead by giving 10 correct answers, while Claire gave nine. None of them delivered any wrong answers. The third player, Rhea Sinha, gave eight correct and one incorrect response. The scores going into the second round were: Rohan at $9,200, Claire at $4,600, and Rhea at $3,800.

The categories for the second round of the Mayim Bialik-hosted episode included “The Golden Age, Companies In History, Southerners, Pure Poetry, Social Science, Before & After.”

In the Double Jeopardy round, the players didn’t play well during their respective Daily Double segment. Rhea picked the first Daily Double and lost $3,000. Rohan, who lost money in the first round due to the same, wagered only $5 for his Daily Double segment. He won the bet but left viewers disappointed because of the conservative wager. Rohan's move held him behind Claire, who took the lead in the second round.

The scores of the players in round 2 were: Claire at $11,400, Rohan at $9,205, and Rhea at $5,600.

In the Final Jeopardy round, Rohan was once again afraid of wagering a big amount. He bet $0 in the final round and won. Had he wagered a large amount, he might have advanced to the semifinals. But he landed in second place, while Claire topped the scoreboard. Both the players gave the correct answer to the final question. Rhea, on the other hand, failed to do so.

Hence, Claire Sattler won Jeopardy! today.
