Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for October 10
In a hotly contested match, Mark became a rare five-day champion by answering the Final Jeopardy question correctly and making an aggressive bet.
Since Mark had $18,600 and Mike had $12,800 before the segment, there was no runaway. But Mark answered correctly and won $7,001, snatching victory with $25,601. This brought his total past the $100,000 mark with $107,201.
Mike made the strategic play of betting $0, though he did get the answer correct as well. It just didn’t pan out this time, and so he left in second place with $12,800.
Cynthia only had $4,400 in the bank before Final Jeopardy and lost $3,000 with her guess of Star Trek. She placed third with $1,400.
Final Jeopardy Answer for October 10
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on October 10, 2024 is “What is Goodfellas?”
This is effectively a two-part clue. The first is figuring out which HBO drama it’s talking about, particularly which series would be inspired by a film. This wouldn’t be Game of Thrones, Succession, nor The Wire. I think most TV buffs would land on The Sopranos given the prevalence of critically-acclaimed films about the mafia.
From there, thinking about what famous films with crime bosses that are set in New Jersey would lead to Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. We won’t list every actor that was in both the movie and the HBO series, but some of the more notable ones are Lorraine Bracco as Dr. Jennifer Melfi and Karen Friedman Hill, Tony Sirico as Paule Gaultieri and Tony Stacks, plus Frank Vincent as Phil Leotardo and Billy Batts.
