S4·E16 Show #701

Episode recap

The broadcast identified as season 4, episode 16 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! (show number 701) follows the series’ established format in which three contestants compete for cash by responding to general‑knowledge clues presented as answers. The episode’s contestant lineup consists of Judi Greenberg, Clare Dellemann and Bob Blincoe, as indicated in the episode synopsis. As with every installment of the series, the proceedings are overseen by host Alex Trebek, who reads the clues and confirms the correctness of each response, while announcer Johnny Gilbert introduces the categories and provides other on‑air announcements.

The game begins with the Jeopardy! round, during which the three participants select clues from a board of six categories, each containing five clues of increasing monetary value. Contestants signal their intent to answer by buzzing in; a correct response adds the clue’s dollar amount to the contestant’s total, while an incorrect response deducts the same amount and gives the remaining players an opportunity to answer. After the initial round, the Double Jeopardy! round proceeds with a second board of six new categories and doubled monetary values, following the same rules for selection, buzzing, and scoring. The episode concludes with the Final Jeopardy! segment, in which the remaining contestants write down a response to a single clue after a brief period of contemplation; those who answer correctly retain or increase their totals, while incorrect answers result in a loss of the wagered amount.

Throughout the broadcast, the production adheres to the series’ television‑G rating and its family‑friendly presentation, as noted in the series overview on The Movie Database. The episode’s structure, pacing and visual style remain consistent with the long‑running format described in the Wikipedia entry for Jeopardy!, which characterizes the show as a reality‑style quiz competition that has aired since 1984. No additional details about specific categories, clue content, scores or the ultimate winner are provided in the available sources, and the episode’s primary distinguishing feature is the participation of the three named contestants.
