Deb, dressed in an elegant leather jacket to match her relaxed clue-selection style, won a $3K Daily Double late and was almost on the runaway.<\/p>\n

She had $16,500, Daniel $8,300, and Jeremy $8,000.<\/p>\n

‘EASIEST EVER?’<\/h2>\n

All were correct when they answered: “John Williams?”<\/p>\n

The Star Wars\u00a0composer\u00a0is the most Oscar-nominated person alive, having also scored the theme music to Jaws, and Schindler\u2019s List to name just a few.<\/p>\n

Deb tacked on a $101 safe to maintain her large lead. She won a total of 16,601.<\/p>\n

Although fans appreciated her appearance, not everyone felt that the final clue was up to Jeopardy! standards.<\/p>\n

What is the easiest Final Jeopardy? ever?” Reddit users asked: “Have you ever?” <\/p>\n

Another person wrote: “The Walt Disney hint from last week is incredibly simple to me.”<\/p>\n

A third said, “It’s been a few weeks since four Final Jeopardys that were tough and one Final Jeopardy randomly laid out.”<\/p>\n

Randy Newman is a great guess, as his Hollywood discography has a huge number of albums. “I don’t believe this was as simple as some posters suggest,” said a fourth.<\/p>\n

Final Jeopardy that is FLUCTUATING! CLUES<\/h2>\n

Final Jeopardy fans have complained that clues have become increasingly difficult. There have been five triple stumpers this month alone.\u00a0Jeopardy.com\u00a0<\/a>It’s surprisingly easy.<\/p>\n

Final Jeopardy on April 10 read: In 1966, his year of death, he discussed plans for an experimental community prototype in Florida.<\/p>\n

Walt Disney’s answer was accurate and no one thought this quiz episode ended in a fantasy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a bit perplexed by Final Jeopardy today, not because there was a problem with it, but that clue felt like it should have been on the $200 space in the Jeopardy round, not an FJ answer,” one person wrote on Reddit.<\/p>\n

Another user commented, “Even the 5-year-old of my cousin knows what happens at the end.”<\/p>\n

That said,\u00a0recent 3-day champ Brian Henegar\u00a0took to a Reddit AMA- or “Ask Me Anything- and discussed one of his Final Jeopardy clues.<\/p>\n

On April 8th’s episode Under “Fashion History” it read: “These decorative items get their name from their origin in the port city of Strasbourg, on the border of France & Germany.”<\/p>\n

No one was correct with “rhinestones,” at the time which even host\u00a0Ken\u00a0Jennings, 48, admitted was tough.<\/p>\n

He explained to them that Strasbourg is the port of the Rhine River, and this is why rhinestones are named. It’s a bit tricky.”<\/p>\n

Brian told internet users “On the third game\u00a0(with the rhinestone FJ!),\u00a0Ken\u00a0mentioned that he stared at that clue for five minutes before it hit him.”<\/p>\n

One fan said: “Very intriguing.” This should give the authors a good idea that the puzzle is too hard.<\/p>\n
