Danger! The January 13, 2025 episode marked the beginning of the Champions Wildcard Quarterfinals. It was an exciting battle of wits and strategy. Contestants included history lecturer Will Yancey of Banquete, Texas; Jane Feldman, a high school teacher from Brooklyn, New York; and Paul Clawson, a tax analyst from Michigan.
Will Yancey, who won a total of $13,800 to advance to the semifinals, closed out this closely contested episode. Final Jeopardy! The clue involves historical currency.
The question was about the first pound coin struck by Henry VII: “Henry VII struck the first pound coin in 1489, as it was called, also a term for Henry.”
Will answered correctly by saying “Sovereign”, giving him the win.
Paul Clawson also solved the final clue correctly but became second runner-up because his score was lower than the top scorer. Jane Feldman did not solve any Final Jeopardy! Clue but remained in contention for the wildcard spot due to her consistent gameplay throughout.
Will Yancey, a historian from Banquete, Texas, had previously led the Double Jeopardy round with skillful strategy, ultimately emerging as the winner. Other categories were featured on this Jeopardy!
