She’s a five-time champion with $52,002. That’s a very low total for winning five games, but, hey, a win is a win!
And I have no idea who wins the $2k and $1k in case of a tie for second. Maybe they each get $1500?

I thought that FJ was very difficult. As, evidently, did the contestants.
Nope. One losing contestant had $2000, the other had $1000.
Which had which?
Tory got second place due to more money going into final Jeopardy. If tied, next tiebreaker is money going into double J, then money going into first commercial break (I think).

FJ wasn’t just hard, Megan had the correct track with her answer “crown” but they were looking for the specific term “monarchy” from Greek. (Frankly I never associated “mono” with “monarchy” - you learn something new everyday I guess.) I think the question was another poorly worded one.
Her total works out to just over $10,000 per win. From what I recall, the average winning total is about $20,000.
If I may humblebrag for a moment, I won more on the show in only three wins than Megan has won in five! (Okay, I guess that’s not so humble, is it? )
In the event of ties among non-winners, second and third place are determined by which player had more money going into FJ. If they were tied going into FJ, it goes back to who had more money at the end of the first round. If they were tied then, I don’t know what happens. Possibly the universe implodes.
The one who lives closest to Canada wins. It’s possible this rule is no longer in effect since Alex’s passing.
And Megan wins another squeaker. Today’s episode was a good game, especially Double Jeopardy.
Mayim has Covid. No news on how this will affect the taping schedule.
I wish her well.
Did anyone else catch the error in the “M. R.” Aye category?
Are you referring to the fact that, despite “M. R.” being in quotation marks, just the last name Ravel was accepted, and Mayim didn’t clarify it either?
Yes, I am.
Wow! Megan wins by $2. Again! The third time!
It’s rigged!
Wow. She is both really lucky and really good at wagering.
What are her chances of getting past the first round in the Tournament of Champions? I’m guessing not very high.
I can’t believe how much I now want to see her get a win there in the same Wait-What-Just-Happened fashion.
I’ll be sad to see her go. She’s the least irritating return champ in quite a while.
the last 2 games have been very good. the challengers came so very close.
I thought the FJ answer was easy, even though I don’t know any Greek. What else is a group of islands called?
I loved the squeakiness of the end!
