Jeopardy Journey
The latest episode of Jeopardy aired on June 30, 2023, and featured Bryan White (two-day winner) along with two other contestants, Courtney Johnston and Elena Di Toro. The most amazing thing was that all three contestants were at zero until the first commercial break. After the break, Bryan had 13 correct answers and three wrong answers. Courtney Johnston got three correct answers and Ilena Di Toro got two correct answers. Later, Ilena gave two wrong answers, resulting in her getting a zero score. After the first round, Ilena had zero points with Bryan leading the game with $2,200 and Courtney with $1,200.
In the double jeopardy round, all three contestants gave wrong answers and netted less than $10,000. However, Ilena came out of the zero-point zone and Bryan was still in the lead while Courtney was in third place. In the final round, Bryan lost his top spot and Ilena got the right answers and led the game while Courtney still ended up in third place.
