Previously on "Jeopardy! Masters"...
Victoria Groce had a pretty good lead
heading into Final, but did she know it was Luanda?
There we go. She's correct,
aking her to 20,001 and making her tonight's first winner.
In tonight's second game,
Victoria Groce was in second place this time.
she wrote down "What is anaphylaxis?"
And that is correct.
So you have 18,801,
and you're just behind Yogesh Raut.
Did he know it was anaphylaxis?
He didn't get it.
So by just two points, Victoria Groce
comes from behind.
Victoria, undefeated so far in the semis, is in the top spot.
Yogesh is next thanks to both of his second-place finishes.
Isaac and Juveria have some catching up to do,
but there are still two games left for them to do it.
We began with nine Masters,
But it's down to the Final Four.
In the end, only one will emerge as the champion.
This is "Jeopardy! Masters."
In tonight's first semifinal game,
we have Juveria Zaheer.
Isaac Hirsch.
And Victoria Groce.
And now here is your host, Ken Jennings.
Thank you folks. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
And welcome to our last two semifinal games
of this year's "Jeopardy! Masters."
By the end of this hour, we will know
who will be advancing to the finals.
Up first, it's an all-new Masters matchup.
Victoria, Isaac and Juveria playing each other
for the first time in this combination.
Good luck.
Let's get right into the Jeopardy! round
where we have these categories for you tonight...
And finally...
I'm Henry Louis Gates Jr.
I've spent my entire career studying
African-American history and sharing what I found in books,
TV shows, and today a category for the Masters.
Victoria, you're up first.
I'll take Architecture Terms for 1,000.
Turns out there's a name for the low railing
that can stop you from falling off a balcony,
this 10-letter one.
- Victoria. - What's a balustrade?
Balustrade is correct for 1,000.
Architecture, 800.
It's a semi-circular recess at the end of a church or niche
to hold a statue.
- Victoria. - What is an apse?
- Right again. - Architecture, 600.
- Victoria. - What's a mezzanine?
- Yes. - Books Of The Bible, 1,000.
- Juveria. - Who is Philemon?
Philemon is good for 1,000.
Books Of The Bible for 800.
- Victoria. - Who is Hannah?
Yes. Books Of The Bible, 600.
Answer -- a Daily Double.
The only one in the round, and you found it, Victoria.
How much of your 3,200 do you want to put at stake here?
3,200.
True Daily Double attempt in Books Of The Bible.
Going for 6,400 if you're right.
Here's your clue.
What are the Ten Commandments?
That's correct.
Also there in Exodus.
You now have 6,400 and command of the board, Victoria.
Black History for 200.
Here's Professor Gates.
While many Black surnames are those of the families
that owned our ancestors, another common name,
this one of an Oscar-winning actor,
was taken after the Civil War to indicate no ownership.
- Isaac. - What is Freeman?
- Yes. You're on the board. - Black History, 600.
Back to Professor Gates.
After emancipation, many African-Americans still lived
off the land owned by others.
If a relative success, one could be this type
of farmer who, unlike a sharecropper,
owned a portion of what he grew and paid rent from the proceeds.
- Victoria. - What's a tenant farmer?
- You got it. - Black History, 400.
Skip Gates.
For decades, one of the best jobs for Black men
and one of the few that showed them a wider world
was this job in railroad cars.
The brotherhood of them was the AFL's first Black union.
- Isaac. - What is a porter?
- Right. - Black History, 800.
Professor Gates.
The average African-American has about 23% European ancestry,
and although Malcolm X rightly said
that Plymouth Rock landed on us, in 2023,
I showed this legendary activist
that she had a white ancestor on the Mayflower.
- Victoria. - Who was Davis?
- Angela Davis is correct. - Black History, 1,000.
One more time, Henry Louis Gates.
Many of our enslaved ancestors who came to America
were Mende people of Sierra Leone.
One famous Mende was this leader of the Amistad Rebellion.
- Victoria. - Who is Cinque?
Joseph Cinque. Well done.
Architecture, 400.
- Victoria. - What's a buttress?
- Good. - Architecture, 200.
- Juveria. - What's a keystone?
You got it.
Bible for 200.
- Isaac. - What are Psalms?
Right.
Get Hyphenated, 600.
- Isaac. - What is an alley-oop?
- Right. - Get Hyphenated 800.
- Juveria. - What's clean-cut?
Right, from clear-cut.
Hyphenated for 1,000.
[ Beep ] That's where we get third-rate.
Those were third-rate ships.
Back to you, Juveria.
Bible for 400.
- Isaac. - What is Luke?
Right.
International Athletes, 600.
- Juveria. - What's lacrosse?
Sorry. No.
- Victoria? - What is hurling?
- That's the right Irish sport. - International Athletes, 800.
Kenya's Faith Kipyegon is the women's
world record holder in the mile and this event
that's 359-feet shorter.
- Victoria. - What's the 1,500 meters?
- Well done. - International Athletes, 1,000.
- Victoria. - Who is Graf?
Good for 1,000.

of these French-named awards.
- Juveria. - What's Ballon d'Or?
- Right. - Athletes for 200.
- Isaac. - What is downhill?
No.
- Juveria? - What's cross-country?
That's right. I think 50 kilometers a little too long for a downhill,
Isaac, now that I think about it.
- Very long hill. - Back to you, Juveria.
Hyphenated for 200.
- Juveria. - What's a merry-go-round?
- Yes. - Hyphenated for 400.
- Isaac. - What is Chick-fil-A?
That's right.
Alphabetically First, 200.
Juveria.
What's Estonia?
- Yes. - Oh, no.
Alphabetically First for 400.
- Sorry, it's all we got. - Oh, God.
Victoria.
What are Brown and Yale?
You got them both.
First & Last, 600.
[ Beep beep beep ] That's tough.
"What are actinium and zirconium?"
Victoria, two clues left. First Or Last, 800.
- Victoria. - What is Saskatchewan?
- That's it. - Oh! Sorry, Juveria.
First Or Last, 1,000.
Here's the final clue.
- Juveria. - What's Zama?
Zama is correct.
It means you'll finish the round in second place to Victoria,
who's got a big lead.
But anything can happen in Double Jeopardy!
We'll be back with that when "Jeopardy! Masters" continues.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's chat with our Masters.
Juveria Zaheer, we always hear a big whoop here in the studio
when we say your name. Who do you have here?
You must have a big cheering section.
I do. I have my two beautiful daughters who are so wonderful
and brave, and my husband,
who is extremely patient, my brother who is just okay.
And then friends I've collected along the way.
And most importantly,
I am the medical head of the largest emergency department
for psychiatry in Canada.
And so when you run away a lot, it's probably bad.
But Dr. Torfason there
and her very patient husband make sure
that everything goes smoothly and nothing burns down.
So I'm so grateful for her.
You got cover? Some of the doctors are here?
Yeah. She's here, which means no one's looking.
No. I'm kidding. [ Laughter ]
We found a victim.
- Thank you, Tracy. - Well done.
Isaac Hirsch, you've told us about your dad's
appearance on "Jeopardy!" back in the '80s.
Do you feel like this was meant to be?
Are you destined to be a "Jeopardy! Master"?
I would never use a word like destiny, but sure.
[ Laughter ] Yeah. Why not?
I mean, both my parents are trained librarians,
and they met in library school,
so I grew up surrounded by reference books
and frequent dinner table arguments before the Internet
where they're like, "No, it was this actor."
And they ran over to pull out
"Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide" or whatever.
So that's just sort of --
And also, I have the kind of personality
where if someone makes an allusion and I don't know
what they're talking about, it irritates me.
So I must know what they're alluding to.
It's good for parents to know,
I think, that you can mold a "Jeopardy!" champion
just by having a very nerdy household.
Don't do that. Don't -- [ Laughter ]
It was all voluntary. I want to be very clear.
Don't mold your children into Jeopardy Masters.
- Let them independently come to it. - Let them find their way to it.
- Exactly. - Maybe we'll see Juveria's daughters up here sometime.
We don't know that.
Only if they want to. If they want to.
[ Laughter ]
Victoria Groce, you told us in a recent game
that you'd recently picked up crossword puzzles
and went to a tournament. Any other new hobbies?
Yeah. So this year I got my Level 1
certification from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust.
So basically I got some materials to study.
I went to Durham and took a really fun, um,
daylong tasting and lecture course.
And then I took a test.
And now I'm a Level 1 sommelier.
Do they give you the test after you've just had a ton
- of wine all day? - Yes.
We had 11 different wines over the course of the day.
Well, now that you're used to doing tests
after having a little wine,
have you thought about playing "Jeopardy!" that way?
Oh, I've thought about it, but they won't let me.
They won't let you?
But I'm hoping to get the Level 2 certification this year,
so now I can-- I'll hopefully know fancier wines
- that I can play "Jeopardy!" with. - Ah, exciting.
Yeah. It's time to play Double Jeopardy!
so you three can pick up your signaling devices.
Isaac, you'll be making the first selection
from these categories.
We have -- ooh -- Books of the Bible?
This time with a question mark. Then...
Responses here end with the letters Q-U-E.
Isaac, what will it be?
Broadway Change A Letter, 1,200.
- Juveria. - What's Pilates of Penzance?
That's right. [ Laughter ]
Oh, boy. Science Class for 1,200.
Getting away from that one.

about 200 million years ago,
forming the modern continents and the Atlantic Ocean.

Answer -- Daily Double.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Pretty commanding lead at the moment, Victoria.
But you have to think "How much do I want to risk
- on a single clue?" - Yeah.
I don't think I'm too comfortable with this.
I'll do 2,000.
2,000 at stake. Going for 18,000.
Here's your clue in Celebrations.
What is Lupercalia?
That is correct, yes. Could've wagered more,
but that takes you to 18,000.
Select again.
Let's do On "Que" for 2,000.
[ Beep ] That's cooking Veronique.

- Victoria. - What's the triple point?
- Yes. - Broadway Musical, 1,600.
- Victoria. - What is Annie Get Your Nun?
Yes. Not a big Broadway success, that one.
Broadway Musical, 2,000.
- Victoria. - What is Hedwig and the Angry Inca?
Yeah, I bet those two get up to some trouble.
Yeah. Ah. Geography, 800.
- Isaac. - What is the Kalahari?
- Right. - Hey! Books of the Bible?, 1,200.
[ Beep ] That's called "The Shadow Docket."
- Isaac. - Books of the Bible?, 1,600.
- Victoria. - What is ragazzi?
- Yes. - Books of the Bible?, 2,000.
Answer there -- the final Daily Double of the game.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Once again, a solid lead for you, Victoria.
- Yeah. 1,200. - Alright. Going for 32,400
if she's right. Here's your clue, Books of the Bible?
- Who is Russell? - Bertrand Russell is right, yes.
You add 1,200.
[ Applause ]
- Where to now, Victoria? - Celebrations, 1,200.
- Juveria. - What's Vesak?

Back in the day, Gypsy Rose Lee was famous
as this type of performer.
- Juveria. - What's burlesque?

You finish in second place with 7,400.
Victoria's got a big lead heading into Final.
Here's your category, Masters --
Medieval Times.
We'll pause for a moment, and then we'll return with the clue.
Don't go anywhere.
For Final Jeopardy! we're headed to medieval times.
The times I assume, not the restaurant.
Here's the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll begin with Isaac Hirsch and his 1,200 points.
What did you write down, Isaac?
"What is fealty?" That's right.
The vassal swore homage and fealty.
The Lord swore nothing at all.
It's good to be the Lord, I guess.
What did you wager, Isaac?
You will add just 100 points, taking you to a lucky 1,300.
Juveria Zaheer was in second with 7,400.
Did she come up with fealty?
- She got it. So she will be adding... - Oh, no wager.
So she still has 7,400 points
and will likely finish in second
because Victoria Groce had a big lead.
Did she come up with fealty?
Ah, she didn't have it.
But it may not matter unless she wagered very riskily.
2,600. Knocks her down to 29,800.
But that's another big win for you, Victoria.
You finish the semifinals undefeated.
Three more match points for you.
One match point now for Juveria Zaheer in second place.
No match points in that game for Isaac.
Masters, let's take a look at the leaderboard.
Victoria Groce, with nine match points,
has secured her spot in the finals,
but who will be joining her?
We're going to find out in the next game.
You get to take a break, Victoria.
Yogesh, Isaac, and Juveria will be out here
for the second half of tonight's "Jeopardy! Masters" semifinals.
Back in a moment.
Welcome back to the semifinals of "Jeopardy! Masters."
Competing in tonight's second game...
Welcome back to the final game of this semifinal round.
Facing each other for the very first time,
we have the trio of Yogesh, Juveria, and Isaac.
And with the two remaining spots in the finals on the line,
every match point is critical here.
Good luck, Masters.
We'll get into the game with the Jeopardy! round
and these categories.
First...
Each response here can be found backwards within the clue.
And finally...
Yogesh, you're up first.
I think we have to go with around India for 1,000.
Answer there -- a Daily Double, Yogesh.
[ Applause ]
No pressure just because you went there first.
You can wager up to a thousand points.
I will bet 1,000 rupees.

and he will select first
when Double Jeopardy! begins right after this.
Isaac Hirsch, earlier in this hour,
we met Juveria's cheering section in the crowd.
Do you have anyone here today?
I do, yeah, my wonderful girlfriend is here.
She has sat through so much "Jeopardy!"
at this point in her life. Been here for everything.
Her dad is here, as well, as well as her grandmother,
who is 96 years old and has been here for this whole thing,
- which is incredible to me. - Wow.
- I could never do that. - Yeah.
Well, thanks for coming. It's great to see you all.
Juveria, some good news for you.
Our judges have decided to allow your response of kreplach
when it comes to the Jewish deli.
So you're getting 800 points back.
I want to ask you this.
You're an emergency room psychiatrist and a medical --
And you've said that that very stressful environment is
good "Jeopardy!" preparation. What do you mean by that?
Yeah, absolutely.
Our workplace can be very chaotic, it can be very busy.
You don't know what's going to come through the door,
but all you can do is do your best
to make people feel comfortable and make them feel safe
and have processes in place to make things run smoothly.
And it reminds me very much of this team.
You know, you might not always agree.
You always have each other's backs.
You always take such good care of each other.
And you take such good care of us.
So it feels very familiar to be here.
Well, that's great.
Does that mean "Jeopardy! is as stressful
and unnerving as an emergency room, though?
Is that what I'm taking away from this?
It depends on the shift. And it depends on the game.
[ Laughter ]
That's a smart answer.
Yogesh Raut, I'm just learning this now.
"Jeopardy!" was not your TV debut, right?
Where did dedicated Yogesh fans first see you?
So, when I was in kindergarten,
so not quite five, I was on the local news.
I had somehow gained all the information
of states and capitals, and I was --
I went around to local high schools
and gave demonstrations with, like, a blank map.
Did this annoy high schoolers to have a four-year-old
showing them up on geography,
- or were you a hit? - I never really asked them.
[ Laughter ]
But my parents made sure to record
the news broadcasts on a, you know, VHS tape.
And if you're ever in Springfield, Illinois,
they will show it to you, whether you ask --
whether you ask them to or not.
Whether you want it or not.
Well, it sounds like your TV life course was set early on.
It's time for Double Jeopardy! players.
Isaac, you'll be making the first selection,
so pay close attention as I list off your categories.
We have...
What'll it be, Isaac?
Painted Love, 1,600.

That's "secession" in German, sezession.

We'll try it again.
The 1928 painting "The Lovers" is by this surrealist,
no stranger to obscuring faces.
- Juveria. - Who is Magritte?

Read It for 1,600.
Answer -- a Daily Double for you, Juveria.

Answer -- the other Daily Double.
[ Applause ]
You did not bet big last time, Juveria.

- 1,800. - 1,800 again.
You'll have 9,600 if you're right in Female Activists.
Who is Cookman?
Sorry, no.

at the end of the Double Jeopardy! round.
Final Jeopardy! is up next,
and it will decide who goes to the finals.
Two of you three will be joining Victoria.
Here's your category --
Island Countries.
You three make your wagers.
We'll come back with the clue after this break.
Island Countries is the category.
Here's the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
Isaac Hirsch is up first with 3,600.
What did you write down, Isaac?
Oh, wow. "What a great time I had.
Congrats to the final" --
Oh, but look, you buried the lede. "Also St. Lucia?"
That is correct. St. Lucia in the Caribbean.
The only country named for a woman.
But all the sentiment is lovely, as well, Isaac.
What will that do to your score?
You wagered 615, taking you to 4,215.
Juveria here was in second place with 10,400.
Did she know it was St. Lucia?
She got it. She wagered...
nothing at all.
Interesting. So she will stand pat at 10,400 points.
Yogesh Raut had a pretty big lead heading
into Final Jeopardy!
Did he come up with St. Lucia?
What or where? You prefer "where."
"Where is St. Lucia?" That's correct.
So what did you wager, Yogesh?
2,001, meaning you wind up with 20,801.
You are the second winner tonight.
That's three match points for Yogesh
and one very important match point for Juveria Zaheer.
Here it is, for the last time in "Jeopardy! Masters"
this year, we're going to take a look at the leaderboard.
Here are the standings.
Victoria of course in first place with 9 match points.
Yogesh now in second with 5.
Juveria finishes in third with 2 match points,
leaving Isaac in fourth place.
And that means, Isaac,
we will be saying good-bye to you here.
The good news is there's $100,000 for you
as our fourth place finisher.
Well, we loved having you with us, Isaac.
And congratulations to Yogesh and Juveria.
You have made the finals
along with Victoria Groce,
and all three of them will be back here
on the Alex Trebek Stage in the finals.
We'll see you then.
