Mattea should have wagered $21,399 but she said on Twitter she didn’t want to be too greedy

The one at 4:58 is the biggest shock, all three of them coming in with *different* wrong answers

aw I miss Alex so much. I just read his autobiography (first one I've ever read) and I didnt think I could love him anymore until reading his book. Recommend 😊

3:07 Was from footage of match in Ultimate Tournament Of Champions Jeff Richmond(23,300) win the match while other Billy Baxter(-600) and Bernard Hollway(-3,000) unable to play Final Jeopardy

Why would the people in first place wager everything if they didn't have to?? That's on them for losing a winnable game.

Well, it’s either one of 3 things: 1.) they want to risk losing in order to double everything. 2.) they leave it all up to chance. 3.) they might be a little to cocky & think they have the right answer until they don’t.

That first clip. I don’t know what episode that was from, but it seems like they all got back to where they started from, back to zero. And they were all one year off from the correct answer.

It's funny how nobody knew that the century starts in year 1, not zero. This was totally not generally known before Y2K. NYE 2000 got all the fanfare anyways though, not 2001. Sort of like when your car is at 99,999 miles.

He says it - Jan 1st 1901 This is from the Jeopardy Website but I still don’t understand it: The Final Jeopardy! category is "The Calendar" and the clue was "Calendar date with which the 20th century began"; the correct response was "What is January 1, 1901?" All three contestants had an incorrect response of, "What is January 1, 1900?” That was actually the first day of the last year of the 19th century, as years begin with a 1 and not a 0. This would later lead to confusion during the Y2K era, when people confused 2000 as the first year of the 21st century, when in reality, 2001 would be the first year.

@@andrewbomkamp3708 Contestants don't all end up with zero because every person was incompetent and therefore doesn't "deserve" to return. Typically, the only time this happens is due to a Final Jeopardy question that is practically impossible to answer within the 30 seconds they have to think & consider their choices (this video is a prime example). That's the fault of those who choose the questions for the show, not the contestants. Therefore, I don't think contestants who have proven they belong by doing reasonably (or very) well up to the last question should all be punished for the occasional "dud" question that pops up. I say let them all return for one more show under these unusual circumstances.
