Priscilla Emery: 3,000
Karen Ruckert: 16,400
Zachary Tomanelli: 6,000

The Final Jeopardy! category: LITERARY TITLE CHARACTERS

We had a similar situation Monday, where first had things locked up and second had exactly twice third. Zachary should just be happy with his position and wager zero.

Unsurprisingly, he went for some Pride Points, which could have cost him $1,000.
