Today's Jeopardy! winner is Maya Wright

The latest episode of High School Reunion Tournament was full of surprises. The game didn’t seem to be in Maya Wright’s favor until the final round.

In the first round, the categories included “March Madness, American Composers, 'Y' On The Map, This Is How I Win, Mermaids, Anagrams Of Each Other.”

Tim Cho gave the maximum number of answers, while Caleb Richmond picked the first Daily Double and wagered everything. Tim correctly answered 14 questions and Caleb gave seven right answers and two wrong answers. Caleb’s incorrect responses held him back and landed him in third place, while Maya stood in second position by giving seven correct answers.

The scores of the players going into the second round were: Tim at $8,200, Maya at $3,400, and Caleb at $3,200.

The categories for the second round of the Mayim Bialik-hosted episode included “The Royal Past, College Talk, Science, Alliterative Authors, Official State Stuff, Recent Commercials.”

The scoreboard changed in the Double Jeopardy round. Caleb and Tim gave each other some tough competition, but both faced many obstacles. As the second round came with two Daily Doubles, each went to Caleb and Tim. None of them were able to correctly answer their respective questions. Caleb lost $4,018 and Tim lost $3,000. They also missed out on correctly answering a $2,000 question. Maya played rather well and landed in third place.

In the second round, the scores saw Caleb at $9,582, Tim at $8,800, and Maya at $7,800.

Hence, Maya Wright won Jeopardy! today.

Final Jeopardy! results today

The category for the final round in the March 7 episode was “Names in the Bookstore,” and the final question/clue read:

“This man made lists, perhaps to cope with depression; a set of lists he published in 1852 made his name synonymous with a type of book.”

The correct answer was “Peter Mark Roget.”

Only Maya gave the right answer to the final clue. Tim wrote “Webster,” and Caleb guessed “Smith.”

Take a look at the final results of the third semi-final episode of Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament 2023:

Maya Wright: $7,800 + $7,800 = $15,600 (Who is Rogett?) (Finalist)

Tim Cho: $8,800 – $6,801 = $1,999 ($10,000) (Who is Webster?)

Caleb Richmond: $9,582 – $8,019 = $1,563 ($10,000) (Who is Smith)

With today’s win, Maya became the third finalist in the tournament. She will compete against Jackson Jones and Justin Bolsen in the finale.

The game show will air the tournament’s final episode on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.
