S2·E107 Show #367

Episode recap

The episode identified as season two, episode 107 (show number 367) of the 1984 version of Jeopardy! follows the program’s established format, presenting a single contest between three civilian participants. The three competitors listed for this broadcast are Jamie Capwell, Paul Rouffa, and Garth Sturdevant. As with every installment of the series, the proceedings are hosted by Alex Trebek, with Johnny Gilbert providing the opening announcement and occasional voice‑over introductions.

The round‑by‑round structure adheres to the classic Jeopardy! layout. The first segment, the Jeopardy! round, offers six categories, each containing five clues whose monetary values increase from the lowest to the highest within the set. Contestants select a category and a dollar amount, hear the answer, and must respond in the form of a question. Correct responses add the indicated amount to the player’s score, while incorrect responses deduct the same amount. After all clues in the board are exhausted, the game proceeds to Double Jeopardy!, which mirrors the initial round but doubles the dollar values for each clue, thereby raising the stakes and allowing larger swings in the scoreboard.

Following the two main rounds, the episode culminates in Final Jeopardy! In this segment, a single clue is presented, and each contestant writes a response and wagers any portion of their accumulated total. The final scores are determined after the wagers are revealed and the correctness of each response is evaluated.

Throughout the broadcast, the production maintains the series’ trademark pacing and visual style, with the iconic blue and gold set, the familiar music cues, and the clear, concise delivery of clues. The episode’s pacing reflects the standard rhythm of the show: rapid clue presentation, brief deliberation periods, and the occasional brief commentary from Trebek that clarifies wording or provides additional context for a particularly challenging answer.

No additional narrative elements, guest appearances, or special themes are noted for this particular installment beyond the presence of the three named contestants. The episode therefore serves as a straightforward example of the program’s enduring quiz‑show formula, showcasing the competitive interplay among Jamie Capwell, Paul Rouffa, and Garth Sturdevant as they navigate the categories, clues, and wagering opportunities that define Jeopardy!.
