Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for May 27

In the May 27th contest, it was Tyler who emerged victorious. The result was influenced significantly by aggressive bets placed during the Final Jeopardy round, as no contestant managed to correctly answer the final question.

Initially leading Jackie by just $400, Tyler risked a significant portion (nearly 93%) of his total funds ($10,401 out of $11,200) on one wager, guessing “Ferguson.” Unfortunately, he lost the bet. However, by the narrowest of margins, he ultimately secured first place with a remaining balance of $799.

Initially having $10,800, Jackie decided to take a risky move and wagered $10,500 for the big win. Unfortunately, her chosen response, “John Brown,” resulted in a significant drop of her score to $300. Eventually, she finished in second position.

At the same time, Judith was still vying for $6,400. However, she decided to gamble everything, choosing “Gary Powers” as her answer, which meant she walked away with nothing and ended up in third place.

Final Jeopardy Answer for May 27

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on May 27, 2025 is “Who is Dred Scott?”

Back in the 1800s, I found myself at the heart of an unforgettable legal battle known as Scott v Emerson. As a man of African descent, I took a stand for my freedom in 1847.

This decision sent shockwaves across the nation, driving a wedge between the Northerners and Southern slaveholders and fueling a highly divisive political climate that would eventually lead up to the Civil War.

Fortunately for Scott, even though the initial decision was made, his former masters’ sons turned out to be the new proprietors of him and his kin. Later on, they granted them to Congressman Taylor Blow. Eventually, in May 1857, the Scott family was freed by Taylor Blow.
