Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for April 18

On the April 18 match, every competitor had a chance to win at Final Jeopardy. However, it was Liam who gave the right answer, propelling him forward and earning him the title of the latest champion.

As a thrilled spectator, I found myself on the edge of my seat as Liam maintained a narrow advantage with a sum of $19,600. He then made an audacious move by placing a cover bet of $12,801 against Rachael. The anticipation was palpable, but Liam’s right answer paid off handsomely, pocketing him a whopping $32,401!

Rachael trailed slightly with $16,200, but sadly responded with “Taft” instead of the correct answer, resulting in a loss of $12,000. In the end, she placed third with a total of $4,200.

Steven wagered a significant portion, approximately half ($6,000 from $13,800), in order to secure a victory outright. However, despite getting the correct answer, he was unable to surpass Liam’s overall total and ended up with $19,800.

Final Jeopardy Answer for April 18

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on April 18, 2025 is “Who is William McKinley?”

At the 1896 Democratic Convention, William Jennings Bryan delivered a speech titled “Cross of Gold,” which critiqued the gold standard. This powerful speech helped him secure the Democratic Party’s nomination at the tender age of 36. He later faced off against William McKinley in the presidential election, but unfortunately, he didn’t win. However, Bryan was again nominated by the party in 1900 and 1908, although he remained unsuccessful in winning the presidency. Interestingly, he served as Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of State from 1913 to 1915.
