S3·E205 Show #660

Episode recap

The episode identified as season three, episode 205 (show number 660) of the 1984 version of Jeopardy! presented three competitors: Linda Dragas, Alan Rosenberg and Bob Verini. As with every installment of the series, the contest unfolded in the program’s three‑round structure. The opening Jeopardy! round introduced a board of six categories, each containing five clues whose monetary values increased from the lowest to the highest, reflecting the conventional difficulty progression described for the series. Alex Trebek, the long‑standing host, read each answer‑style clue while the iconic voice of Johnny Gilbert provided the familiar opening and closing announcements.

After the first board was cleared, the contestants returned for Double Jeopardy!, where the same six‑category format was repeated but the clue values were doubled, following the format outlined for the show’s later rounds. Throughout both rounds, the three players selected clues, buzzed in to supply the correct question, and accumulated or lost money based on correct or incorrect responses. The competition adhered to the established rules governing wagering, daily doubles, and the strategic elements that define the series.

The episode concluded with the Final Jeopardy! segment. Trebek presented a single clue, and each contestant wrote a wager and their response on a card, as is standard for the program. After the time limit expired, the correct response was revealed, and the final scores were tallied in accordance with the show’s scoring system. The episode’s format, pacing, and presentation matched the typical production values of the 1984 series, which is classified as a reality and family program in the United States. No additional narrative elements, guest appearances, or special themes were noted beyond the standard contest structure and the identification of the three competing contestants.
