Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for October 11
Eamonn became the new Jeopardy champion after being the only contestant to answer correctly in Final Jeopardy. Mark also had a lot of uncharacteristic incorrect answers in Double Jeopardy that greatly hindered him throughout the match.
With $12,200, Eamoon didn’t have a runaway lead. But he won $1,500 with his conservative wager and became the winner with a total of $13,700. Meanwhile, Dot wasn’t close behind with $10,400 but she couldn’t come up with the right answer. She lost $599 and ended in second place with $9,801.
Mark struggled throughout the episode, ending up with $4,800. He chose not to bet anything in Final Jeopardy and left in third place with the same total.
Final Jeopardy Answer for October 11
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on October 11, 2024 is “Who is Margaret Thatcher?”
This clue is particularly tough if you don’t follow British politics. The main hint here is the year, 1975, which is when Margaret Thatcher became the first woman to be elected leader of a major British political party. The category of World Political History also generally rules out the United States.
Otherwise, William Whitelaw and John Peyton are rather obscure, as they appeared on the second ballot for the 1975 Conservative Party leadership election. Their names, however, might provide an indication as to which country the clue is talking about.
