S2·E162 Show #422

Episode recap

The episode identified as Season 2, Episode 162 (Show #422) of the long‑running American quiz program Jeopardy! presents three competitors: Susan Sanchez, Randy Amasia, and Kurt Weldon. As with every installment of the series, the contest follows the established three‑round format that has defined the show since its inception. In the opening Jeopardy! round, each contestant selects clues from a board organized by category, with each clue presented as an answer. Players must respond in the form of a question to claim the monetary value attached to the clue, and correct responses add to the contestant’s score while incorrect answers deduct the same amount. The round proceeds until all clues have been addressed or time expires, after which the board is reset for the Double Jeopardy! round, which features higher‑valued clues and two Daily Double opportunities that allow a contestant to wager any portion of their accumulated total.

Following Double Jeopardy!, the three participants move to the Final Jeopardy! segment. In this single‑question round, each contestant writes a wager based on their current score, then attempts to provide the correct question‑form response to a final clue. The outcome of the wager determines whether the contestant’s total increases or decreases, ultimately deciding the episode’s champion.

The episode adheres to the series’ family‑friendly standards, carrying a TV‑G rating, and is catalogued in the database of The Movie Database (TMDB) as part of the 1984‑era Jeopardy! series. While the specific categories, clue values, and final scores for Susan Sanchez, Randy Amasia, and Kurt Weldon are not detailed in the available synopsis, the structure of the competition remains consistent with the format described in the series’ official overview and the Wikipedia entry for Jeopardy!. The episode thus offers viewers another example of the program’s blend of general‑knowledge testing, strategic wagering, and rapid‑fire recall that has made it a staple of American television.
