S3·E215 Show #670

Episode recap

The episode identified as season three, episode 215 of the long‑running American quiz program Jeopardy! (show number 670) presents three competitors: Bill Wray, Elaine Brewer, and Eric Berman. As with every installment of the series, the contest follows the format described in the program’s reference entries, in which three participants are introduced at the start of the broadcast and then compete across three distinct rounds. The first segment, the Jeopardy! round, features a board of six categories with five clues each, valued from $200 to $1,000. Contestants signal their intent to answer by buzzing in, and must respond in the form of a question; correct responses add the clue’s dollar amount to the player’s score, while incorrect answers deduct the same amount. After the initial board is cleared, the Double Jeopardy! round proceeds with a second board of six new categories, this time offering clues valued from $400 to $2,000, and includes two Daily Doubles that allow a contestant to wager any portion of their accumulated total. The episode concludes with the Final Jeopardy! round, in which a single clue is presented, and each contestant may wager any or all of their current earnings before writing their response. The player with the highest total after Final Jeopardy! is declared the winner and is invited to return for the next game, while the other two depart with the amounts they have earned. The show is produced under the guidelines of the series’ established rules, which are outlined on its official database entry and the encyclopedia article for Jeopardy!. The episode’s structure, contestant lineup, and adherence to the standard three‑round format exemplify the consistent presentation that has defined the program since its inception.
