Paolo Pasco, a puzzle writer from San Diego, leads with $33,600 after a contested Final Jeopardy question sparked fan debate on difficulty and fairness.

  • On Thursday, September 18, Paolo Pasco played on Jeopardy! and finished with $33,600, raising his seven-day total to $195,717.
  • All three Daily Doubles were answered correctly, and Pasco led early with $5,600 during Double Jeopardy, shaping the game’s progress.
  • The GoldenEye ruling drew immediate backlash, with commenters calling it 'terrible' after Ken Jennings pressed for specificity and Pasco's response was marked incorrect.
  • Pasco was set to return on Friday for his eighth game, but on the next episode, Steven Olson emerged as the new winner, taking down Pasco.
