'Jeopardy!' In Review: Jan. 31 - Feb. 4, Everything You Missed!

Welcome to "Jeopardy!" In Review! This week, we will be revisiting the episodes from January 31 through February 4.

This marks the first full week of contestants without super champion Amy Schneider, who currently holds the second-longest win streak in the game show's history with a record-setting 40 games.

It still doesn't hold a candle to the 74 games Ken Jennings set back in 2004, but speaking of Ken, he was absent from the hosting podium. This week, Mayim Bialik was back hosting. Many fans were unhappy to see her return, especially when Amy and several other contestants recently endorsed Ken Jennings to become the next permanent host.

But, as the late Alex Trebek always believed, the show is about the contestants, not the host, so let's take a look at how the contestants did this week!

On Monday, January 31, Jay, an engineer, returned to the podium after winning Friday's game with $13,600 dollars. He faced off against Riley, a student, and Matthew, a high school history teacher.

The first round contained categories like "Big Names On Campus," "From Book to TV," and "Stupid Answers. Going into the second round, Jay had $4,400, Matthew had $4,600, and Riley had $1,800 dollars.

The second round contained categories like "Outlaws," "Psychology Literature," "Music Biopic Subjects," and "On The 'M'ap." Going into the Final Jeopardy! round, Jay had $16,400, Matthew had $10,400, and Riley had $200 dollars.

The Final Jeopardy! category was "Women Who Write." The clue read: "Mimicking her style, a 1912 rejection note read: 'Only one look, only one look is enough. Hardly one copy would sell here. Hardly one.'"

Everyone missed the correct answer of "Who was Gertrude Stein?" Jay lost $4,401 to win $11,999 and create a two-day total of $25,599 dollars.

Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Jay dropped $4,401 to win with $11,999 for a two-day total of $25,599.

During the episode, there was some controversy when Bialik accepted an answer of "Who is Wahlberg?" Considering there were multiple options available, Bialik should have asked the contestant to be more specific.

On Tuesday, Jay, an engineer, returned to the podium with a two-day total of $25,599. He faced off against Scott, a software developer, and Zoha, a movement lawyer.

The first round contained categories such as "3 Stars of the Film," "4-Letter Geography," and "5 Random Things." Going into the second round, Jay had scored an impressive lead of $7,600 dollars. Scott had $3,800 and Zoha had $1,200 dollars.

The Final Jeopardy! category was "Historical Geography." The clue read: "This city on the Rhone River that is partly a World Heritage Site was papal property until the French Revolution."

Both Scott and Jay wrote down a correct answer of "What is Avignon?" Scott added $14,200 to win the game with $28,800 dollars and become the new "Jeopardy!" champion.

The Final Jeopardy! category was "Recent TV." The clue read: "The credits on “The Queen’s Gambit” included this man as 'special consultant.'"

Both Emma and Ben provided a correct answer of "Who Is Kasparov?" Emma added $10,000 dollars to come up with a winning total of $22,200. Ben had only wagered $0 dollars and cost himself a chance to win if both of his opponents had missed. It also cost him second place and the extra $1,000 dollars that comes with it.

Bialik came under fire again this episode. Just like with Monday's episode, she did not ask for a contestant to be more specific during a clue about the President between Cleveland and Cleveland. Harrison was accepted without asking for the contestant to be more specific.
