A glimpse of Jeopardy! episode highlights - October 13, 2025, Monday

Jeopardy! Round

The Jeopardy! round started with some strong plays, particularly by Allegra Hill, who took the lead early. The categories included Intersecting With Insects, World Literature, and TV Title First & Last Name, among others. Allegra made a move early in the round, securing a substantial lead.

Allegra Hill led with $5,000 after the round, after performing well on clues. She answered 9 questions correctly, but one wrong answer lowered her score. After answering 9 questions correctly and 2 wrong, defending champion Aimée Fluitt tied Allegra at $5,000.

• Daniel Richman trailed with $3,600 after 8 correct, 1 incorrect answers.
• Aimée and Daniel remained close, but Allegra led the round with her consistent performance. Jeopardy! ended with the Daily Double still in play, which could change the scores.

Double Jeopardy! Round

Double Jeopardy! had harder clues and higher stakes, so contestants competed to win. Daniel Richman lost $4,000 after making the second Daily Double wrong in this round. This reduced his options as the round progressed. Allegra found and answered Daily Double 3, winning $3,800 and extending her lead. This round ended with these scores:

• Allegra Hill led Aimée by $1,000 at $12,800.
• Aimée Fluitt had $11,800, close to Allegra, but she needed a big Final Jeopardy bet to win.
• Daniel Richman, with $5,600, was mathematically out of the running for the top prize unless he had a perfect Final Jeopardy round.

Final Jeopardy! Round

The Final Jeopardy! category was The Oscars. 

The clue read, “The first 2 actors to refuse their Oscar trophies were in films with scripts that this man co-wrote.”

 The correct response was, “Who is Francis Ford Coppola?” 

• Allegra Hill, showing great confidence, bet $10,801 on the question and correctly answered it, securing her the victory with a final total of $23,601.
• Daniel Richman bet $0 and incorrectly responded, leaving him with a total of $5,600.
• Aimée Fluitt went for a smaller wager of $500, but she too got the question wrong, leaving her with $11,300.

Allegra’s correct response boosted her final total to an impressive $23,601, earning her the title of Jeopardy! champion for the night.
