Final Jeopardy Wagers and Winner for June 16
Challenger Sarah had a tight match with Katie at the start but had a clear runaway by the end of the second round. To put the cherry on top, she was the only contestant to nail the Final Jeopardy clue too.
Sarah’s high number of correct responses in the second round got her $15,000. She didn’t need to bet anything to win, so she only wagered $50 and ended up the winner with $15,050.
Katie had $5,600 and risked $3,000, but she couldn’t come up with a response. She finished with $2,600 for third place.
Tom rallied back from the negative numbers to have $4,000. He then bet conservatively with $800 on an incorrect guess of “Wide Sargaso Sea” and ended up in second place with $3,200.
Final Jeopardy Answer for June 16
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on June 16, 2025 is “What is Jaws?”
This clue is made a lot easier when thinking about famous movies around 1974. While it asks specifically about the cover of the book, Jaws, written by Peter Benchley, the movie poster for the more famous film adaptation is pretty much the same. it features the mouth of a shark in the water heading toward a small female swimmer going across. There are many variations of this book cover, with the original having a completely black background and later editions having the more famous watery background instead to capture the scene better. That version, drawn by Roger Kastel, was eventually reused for the iconic movie directed by Steven Spielberg.
