Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for May 20

In the May 20th competition, Brendan’s supremacy during the second round secured his victory, as all competitors were left puzzled by the Final Jeopardy riddle.

With a strong $19,200 banked, Brendan’s advantage going into the round allowed him to confidently place a bet of $5,601. Unfortunately, his prediction of “Minnesota” turned out to be incorrect. Despite this error, he still finished in first place with $13,599 remaining.

In the second round, Mitch didn’t do badly; instead, he accumulated $12,400. However, his choice of “Indiana” resulted in a loss of $6,180, which dropped him to the second place position with a total of $6,220.

In addition, Wendy had a stake of $11,900. She bet $8,100 on “Colorado” and ended up winning $3,800, placing her in third position.
