Final Jeopardy bets and winner for October 10th

In a closely fought match, Mark became a rare five-day champion by correctly answering the Final Jeopardy question and placing an aggressive bet.

Since Mark had $18,600 and Mike had $12,800 before the segment, there was no runaway. But Mark answered correctly and won $7,001, taking the win with $25,601. This pushed his total over $100,000 with $107,201.

Mike made the strategic choice to bet $0 even though he also got the answer right. This time it didn’t work out and so he finished in second place with $12,800.

Cynthia only had $4,400 in the bank before Final Jeopardy and lost $3,000 on her bet on Star Trek. She came in third with $1,400.

Last danger answer for October 10th

The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on October 10, 2024 is “What is Goodfellas?”

This is actually a two-part clue. The first is figuring out which HBO drama it is, and especially which series is said to have been inspired by a movie. This wouldn’t be Game of Thrones, Succession or The Wire. I think most TV fans would land on The Sopranos, given the prevalence of critically acclaimed films about the mafia.

From there it would be thinking about which famous films featuring crime bosses set in New Jersey would lead to Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. We won’t list every actor who starred in both the film and the HBO series, but some of the most notable include Lorraine Bracco as Dr. Jennifer Melfi and Karen Friedman Hill, Tony Sirico as Paule Gaultieri and Tony Stacks, plus Frank Vincent as Phil Leotardo and Billy Batts.
