Relax man. All I'm saying is that if you're going to bid all of you money (like these three did), than be SMART and leave $1 on the board so you don't lose entirely. And I only know this (or advise it) because of watching Jeopardy through the years. With that being said, bidding is objective, of course everyone is going to think their way of doing it is the smart way! Lighten up, friend; This is the internet!

+AKenYProductions they gave them all third second and first place consolation money based off of their earnings before they all lost their money. the reason the two on the left both had 2000 was because they both had equal amounts to begin with. the lady on the right had the lowest so she technically got third place which is $1000, and the two others tied for second (and also first i suppose). it's all based on the money they had before losing it all. hope that makes some kind of sense.

It happened during a semi final game on the 2013 teen tourney. They picked the highest losing score among the non-winners to move on to the finals in that case. It happened twice during the first season with Alex Trebek, including on the second episode, and it happened during a game in season 14(only two players played in final J! as the third had a negative score going into final J!). I think it happened during a 1996 celebrity game with Matthew Fox, Carl Lewis, and Jon Lovitz as the celebs. It happened during a quarter final game years ago during the now defunct Seniors tournament as well.
Can only imagine the crew in the production truck. "Alright she's wrong and betting everything, she's out" "Okay she's also wrong and bet everything. She's done" "He's wrong and bet eve--holy crap we need 3 new people"
Not really because this clip made it to UA-cam as one of the more unusual endings of a game. There was also a game where all three contestants ended up with the same score (but it was more than $0)....in that case, they all returned to play again.

As a proud graduate of Little Rock Central High School, I knew the answer right away. The event in question is the Little Rock Central High desegregation crisis that took place in 1957. President Clinton declared the school a national historic site in 1998, when I was a senior. I can vividly remember that day because we watched it on television at school. Go Tigers!!!!!
I just learned about little Rock in my high school because we're learning about the civil rights movement. If I remember correctly, 9 black students enrolled and people had to come protect them. However, I wouldn't've known the answer to the question as I didn't remember the date.
Yeah I had to run through the subsequent presidents in my head but eventually realized that must be it (the Supreme Court had ruled school segregation unconstitutional in 1956).

Now I want to write a spoof where the rules are that all tied, leading players return for the next game. But then they all 3 come back and all tie at zero again... night after night. At what point do the producers have to face the music and change the policy? A comedic nightmare.
@@stevenroshni1228 Wouldn’t say they sucked. They had respectable scores going into Final Jeopardy. They were just stupid enough to wager it all. The next three contestants could’ve done the same thing.
In the almost 12 years since dropping the five day rule, and besides tomorrow's episode, J! had three new players on the show on 1/19/2009 and 12/21/2015 since dropping the five game limit. Priscilla Ball was the champ on Friday 1/16/2009 and came back at a later time, as she was sick during their next tape day. Claudia who was on tonight's show was the champ on 12/18/2015 episode and had a job she didn't want to miss and the producers gave her a chance to come back on a later tape date. Alex had knee replacement surgery which cancelled the taping for the 12/21/2015 show also IIRC.
Years ago I lived a few blocks from my ex in-laws. Jeopardy would come on at 4:30 and at 5 o'clock. I would watch the one at 4:30 at my house then walk over to my ex in-laws and watch the repeat . They thought I was a genius. Bahahahahahz
I got it. You just have to think what what events happened in the 1950s in a specific city. The Little Rock 9 occurred in 1957 so the answer would be Little Rock.
Ryan Nordheimer Good on you for getting it, but lots of things happened in 1957, in lots of different cities. The only thing to narrow it down is that you know that one president since 1957 has a library there. It was a very vague clue. I'm not at all surprised that nobody got it.
Joey Baseball I'm guessing you don't watch Jeopardy much? When you are tied with another player going into the final round, you have to bet everything. It is the only way to guarantee you a win. Also, they're not betting with real money, per se. You only get that money if you win. If you come second you get 2000 regardless of how much money you finish with. There was no point in doing a modest wager. The one who really screwed up was the lady with 6000. That was just a case of greed. There was no reason for her to wager all the money. P.S. Ever hear of Matt Jackson or Arthur Chu. Non-whites who are famous for their high wagers.
I like that he gave the name of the president before revealing the correct response. It gives the players, and us watching at home, a chance to sort of "redeem" ourselves with another guess. It was a very strong hint, but we can still pat ourselves on the back if we got it right after that.
Ryan Trylsson yeah but I think she should have got nothing. Jeopardy is supposed to be smart people and she made a horrible wager that cost her the game.
In the event of a tie, they use the score before final jeopardy to see who is second or third. No winner, so the top two got the second place price of $2000 and the third contestant got $1000 third place prize.
I never understood jeopardy prize money. This is the only game show requiring real intelligence and the contestants are so smart yet both winners and losers make so much less than chance games like wheel of fortune or deal or no deal
The prize is weighted towards 1st place since you're able to return and collect large winnings. The ideal strategy is to basically win the game in the 1st two rounds, since Final Jeopardy is designed to be tough questions. According to J! Archive, 55.7% of 1st place winners in last completed season (Season 34) get Final Jeopardy correct.
The woman is the last place should have bet $5,900. Betting all $6,000 will only get her to $12,000 if she win but still can't get to the top place. The 1st and 2nd place has the same amount so any player that bet less would lose if both player answer it correctly.
Toan Hoang Actually, it goes like this at the end of the show: Highest score becomes champion (or returning champion if announcer Johnny Gilbert introduces you third on the very next show) Second-highest score gets $2,000 cash Lowest score gets $1,000 cash
This is a great example of how the TV channel together with Jeopardy came up with a tricky question in order to not have one single contender coming up with the right answer. Why? Now they will throw in 3 NEW and fresh contenders (for the first time in a long time) and so the show will have TONS of viewers for the next program. Becomes sort of a "special event."
Would you imagine all 3 contestants not being around for final Jeopardy? Will Alex find any 3 guest contestants from the audience? Alex mentioned this happened one other time b4.
On the older version with Art Fleming, there WAS a show were all three contestants finished DJ in the red (negatives) or $0, resulting in no FJ. Instead, Art chatted with the three contestants, and of course, three new contestants on the next show.
@@saraflint2982 Actually, there used to be a Returning Champions limit on Jeopardy from March 30th, 1964 to September 8th, 2003, the limit was 5 total days. And if you reached 5, you were entered into the Tournament of Champions for that year.
In the first official episode of Jeopardy! from 1984, Alex said, "Since we don't have a returning champion today, we drew numbers backstage before the show to see who would go first." I wonder if that's how they still do that for something like this. That's how they used to determine who would go first on WOF.
You're correct! According to J! Archive, the next episode Show 7217 (January 19, 2016) had a coin toss between the three contestants. The winner of the toss (Hans) selected first. Hans lost the game by just $200 in Final Jeopardy. www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=5168
They had to. The top two players had equal money going into final, so the only way to guarantee winning if you answered correctly was to bet all of it.
The prize for second place is $2000. The prize for third is $1000. So, the two that were tied for the lead before the final jeopardy question both got the second place prize, since there was no winner. The other contestant who was in third before final jeopardy got the third place prize of $1000.
@@lewissmith4903 They are trying to get rid of ties. They now have an extra question if two people are tied for first after final jeopardy. There still can be a tie for second and third, but only if they were also tie before final jeopardy.
It's amazing how many people have lost Jeopardy due to poor betting strategies. So many concentrate on knowing things and being fast with the buzzer, but neglect on how to wager properly.
On the older version around the 70s, there WAS no Final Jeopardy because all three wound up $0 or in the negatives. Art Fleming instead used the time to do contestant chat. Of course three new contestants next show. This rule remains in place today.
I think the one woman got '1000' because she entered Final Jeopardy with a lower score, whereas the other two were initially tied with a higher amount.

Little Rock was my first guess. That may have been because I visited both the presidential library and the historic site last year.
I bet that lady on the right is _pissed._ She gets half as much as the other two just because of where she's standing
I think it's because she had the least going into final jeopardy
The clue was absolutely ridiculous. I don't know how they would expect anyone to get that.
I got it. You just have to think what what events happened in the 1950s in a specific city. The Little Rock 9 occurred in 1957 so the answer would be Little Rock.
Ryan Nordheimer Good on you for getting it, but lots of things happened in 1957, in lots of different cities. The only thing to narrow it down is that you know that one president since 1957 has a library there. It was a very vague clue. I'm not at all surprised that nobody got it.

I'm guessing you don't watch Jeopardy much? When you are tied with another player going into the final round, you have to bet everything. It is the only way to guarantee you a win. Also, they're not betting with real money, per se. You only get that money if you win. If you come second you get 2000 regardless of how much money you finish with. There was no point in doing a modest wager. The one who really screwed up was the lady with 6000. That was just a case of greed. There was no reason for her to wager all the money.
P.S. Ever hear of Matt Jackson or Arthur Chu. Non-whites who are famous for their high wagers.
Joey Baseball
Yes you do. It's simple logic. If two people have the same amount going into final and one wagers
+Joey Baseball
you have to do it that way if you want to guarantee a win. If you want to risk losing, then sure, you can bet less.
Alex "Thanos" Trebek....... Where are those Infinity Stones when he needs them the most, especially the Time Stone.
I love how the lady on the right still got less money than the other two
I always wanted to know what would happen in this kind of situation
+Jason Kreitzer *by Fenslerfilms
Fixed it.
$2000 and a supply of Aleve ain't bad though ;)
I like that he gave the name of the president before revealing the correct response. It gives the players, and us watching at home, a chance to sort of "redeem" ourselves with another guess. It was a very strong hint, but we can still pat ourselves on the back if we got it right after that.
My dad and I actually watched this episode yesterday. I was ranting about them wasting their hard earnings.
If only I knew that then...
*What did it cost you? Everything.*
Why did the third contestant only get $1,000? They all lost so there shouldn’t be a first, second, or third place.
Perhaps because he had 6k before and the other 2 players both had 13.8k.
I still dont think that's right. Its final outcome which is all tied for last or you can argue first lol
Ryan Trylsson yeah but I think she should have got nothing. Jeopardy is supposed to be smart people and she made a horrible wager that cost her the game.
In the event of a tie, they use the score before final jeopardy to see who is second or third. No winner, so the top two got the second place price of $2000 and the third contestant got $1000 third place prize.
My3dviews thanks! that makes sense
Conglaturations, you played yourselves!
Alex looks pretty amused at the end xD
This is jeopardy! Rest In Peace Alex
"Dey ain't gettin' da home voision"
The only thing missing is the Price is Right losing horns.
Trebek knew the shit was going to hell as soon as he read the question...
I never understood jeopardy prize money. This is the only game show requiring real intelligence and the contestants are so smart yet both winners and losers make so much less than chance games like wheel of fortune or deal or no deal
James Holzhauer turned that on its head
The prize is weighted towards 1st place since you're able to return and collect large winnings. The ideal strategy is to basically win the game in the 1st two rounds, since Final Jeopardy is designed to be tough questions. According to J! Archive, 55.7% of 1st place winners in last completed season (Season 34) get Final Jeopardy correct.
The woman is the last place should have bet $5,900. Betting all $6,000 will only get her to $12,000 if she win but still can't get to the top place. The 1st and 2nd place has the same amount so any player that bet less would lose if both player answer it correctly.
Toan Hoang Actually, it goes like this at the end of the show:
Highest score becomes champion (or returning champion if announcer Johnny Gilbert introduces you third on the very next show)
Second-highest score gets $2,000 cash
Lowest score gets $1,000 cash
The shade was real 🤣🤣 salute to da 🐐 Mr. Alex
Remember the champion Mike did not leave empty handed.
0:31-0:33 Where the line original came from avenger
The question is absurd.
You're right.
It came with a lot of hints
@@benaiah93 ._. did you...respond to yourself? And not change accounts? Really?
@@ganrice2984 oh shit lol
The Biggest yEET I didn’t even notice the name.
I completely understand the two with $13,800 betting it all - they almost had to. The woman with $6,000, WTF? In no way can you justify that wager.
This is a great example of how the TV channel together with Jeopardy came up with a tricky question in order to not have one single contender coming up with the right answer. Why? Now they will throw in 3 NEW and fresh contenders (for the first time in a long time) and so the show will have TONS of viewers for the next program. Becomes sort of a "special event."
Roger that (y)
Would you imagine all 3 contestants not being around for final Jeopardy? Will Alex find any 3 guest contestants from the audience? Alex mentioned this happened one other time b4.
On the older version with Art Fleming, there WAS a show were all three contestants finished DJ in the red (negatives) or $0, resulting in no FJ. Instead, Art chatted with the three contestants, and of course, three new contestants on the next show.
this had never happened since 1984 when they had 3 new players, not counting the limit of returning champs
There is no limit of returning champions. They play until they lose.
@@saraflint2982 Actually, there used to be a Returning Champions limit on Jeopardy from March 30th, 1964 to September 8th, 2003, the limit was 5 total days. And if you reached 5, you were entered into the Tournament of Champions for that year.
In the first official episode of Jeopardy! from 1984, Alex said, "Since we don't have a returning champion today, we drew numbers backstage before the show to see who would go first." I wonder if that's how they still do that for something like this. That's how they used to determine who would go first on WOF.
until the toss ups were invented right?
You're correct! According to J! Archive, the next episode Show 7217 (January 19, 2016) had a coin toss between the three contestants. The winner of the toss (Hans) selected first. Hans lost the game by just $200 in Final Jeopardy.

SOMEONE MUST BE THE CHAMPION!!!
Hahaha why did they bet all there money?
Their*
Learn proper grammar before going onto the Internet
They had to. The top two players had equal money going into final, so the only way to guarantee winning if you answered correctly was to bet all of it.
+Duncan Ice-Breeze their are better thingz to do then to criticize people for there grammar on the Internet
+Sergio Cordova their*
Duncan Ice-Breeze lol, read again, is that the only one?
it's the 5th time it's happened in the history of Jeopardy
The ONE episode that I decided to miss. xD
As Alex said on the 2nd episode of Jeopardy! when the same situation happened, "EASY COME, EASY GO".
That was a VERY easy question. I knew the Little Rock 9 instantly.
Joey Baseball
lol. what is.. Joey is correct. Good call
Joey Baseball
I happen to live in Arkansas , so i blurted out the answer to quick lol
Joshua thehand okay so that gives you an advantage though. But for most Americans who don't live in or near Arkansas, we wouldn't know it.
Ow. That's gotta hurtz
You should NEVER bet everything. Bet everything minus $1, to make sure you have a dollar left for situations like this one.
Why did 2 end up with 2,000, and the one lady only got 1,000?
The prize for second place is $2000. The prize for third is $1000. So, the two that were tied for the lead before the final jeopardy question both got the second place prize, since there was no winner. The other contestant who was in third before final jeopardy got the third place prize of $1000.
@@my3dviews still seems weird to me, it shouldn't matter what you had before final jeopardy, they ended in a tie.
@@lewissmith4903 They are trying to get rid of ties. They now have an extra question if two people are tied for first after final jeopardy. There still can be a tie for second and third, but only if they were also tie before final jeopardy.
The trailing contestant didn’t have to wager anything and could easily have been the winner.
It's amazing how many people have lost Jeopardy due to poor betting strategies. So many concentrate on knowing things and being fast with the buzzer, but neglect on how to wager properly.
Would there be no final jeopardy if all three finished negative after double jeopardy?
I think so, yeah
I think that Alex's head would explode if that happened. LOL
On the older version around the 70s, there WAS no Final Jeopardy because all three wound up $0 or in the negatives. Art Fleming instead used the time to do contestant chat. Of course three new contestants next show. This rule remains in place today.
so all three of them Should get the third place consolation prize, but the 'final' scores read 2000 2000 1000...
I think the one woman got '1000' because she entered Final Jeopardy with a lower score, whereas the other two were initially tied with a higher amount.
“What did it cost you? Everything.”
😳 Alex is Thanos
Aww, why couldn't I have no players and three money?
What? You’re not competing
