‘Jeopardy!’ Fans React After Wild Wagers Decide Dramatic Game

  • On Monday, May 26, Jim Carpenter from Vermont competed against Judith Friedman and Miles Tepper in a high-stakes Jeopardy! Game.

  • Friedman will return to compete on May 27 against new opponents, and fans praised the game's high scores and her aggressive Daily Double strategy as decisive.
