The 44-year-old staff recruiter, who had won $24,801, entered the stage to play against two new challengers: Eli Selzer, a post-production manager from Los Angeles, California, and Anne Martyn, a high school English teacher originally from Los Gatos, California. 

The Final Jeopardy! question for Tuesday, December 2, 2025, in the last round was from the category “Celebrities” reading:
