S4·E10 Show #695

Episode recap

The tenth episode of the fourth season of the American quiz show Jeopardy! (Show #695) presented three new contestants: Douglas Goodman, Babette Heistand, and Tom Bendycki. As with every installment of the series, the episode followed the program’s established format in which three participants compete to answer a series of clues presented as statements, responding in the form of a question. The competition began with the Jeopardy! round, during which the three contestants selected clues from a board of six categories, each containing five clues of increasing monetary value. Correct responses added the corresponding amount to a contestant’s score, while incorrect answers deducted the same amount and gave the remaining players an opportunity to respond.

Following the initial round, the contestants moved to the Double Jeopardy! round, which featured a second board of six categories and higher‑value clues. The structure of this round mirrored the first, with the added element of two Daily Doubles hidden among the clues, allowing a player who selected one to wager any portion of their current total before responding. After Double Jeopardy! concluded, the scores determined which contestant would advance to the final segment of the episode.

The episode culminated in the Final Jeopardy! round, in which the remaining contestants were presented with a single clue and a category. Each contestant wrote down a response and wagered any portion of their accumulated total. After the time limit expired, the correct response was revealed, and the wagers were applied to each contestant’s score, determining the final standings for the episode.

Throughout the broadcast, the host guided the contestants and audience through each stage, reading clues, confirming responses, and providing the customary commentary on the game’s progress. The episode adhered to the series’ long‑standing conventions, delivering the familiar blend of rapid‑fire trivia, strategic wagering, and the distinctive answer‑question format that defines Jeopardy!. No additional details about the specific categories, clues, or final scores were disclosed in the available synopsis.
