‘Jeopardy!’: Error Changes Player’s Total in Double Jeopardy — Is Jamie Ding in Trouble?

On Friday, April 10, contestant Jamie Ding extended his Jeopardy! winning streak to 21 games, defeating Xaque Williams and Kathi Fitzgerald with a final total of $609,000.
During the Double Jeopardy round, writers reconsidered an answer Williams provided about a bathing suit style, initially deemed incorrect but later accepted, increasing his total from $1,800 to $3,800.
Ding maintained a substantial lead by Double Jeopardy's end with $24,800, while Williams held $8,200 and Fitzgerald trailed with $200 after Ding discovered Daily Doubles under 'One Piece' and '1826.'
In Final Jeopardy, Fitzgerald wagered $0 on an incorrect response, keeping her at $200, while Williams reached $15,200 and Ding finished with $36,400.
Ding now ranks sixth on Jeopardy!'s all-time leaderboard for regular-season winnings; he needs 75 consecutive wins to break host Ken Jennings' record, though he approaches the 21-game streak held by Cris Panullo.
