Jeopardy! delivered a clean runaway for returning champion Allegra Kuney, who converted Final Jeopardy! to lock a third straight victory and push her 3‑day haul to $85,001. She’ll go for win #4 on Monday.
The board, the buzzer, the breakaway
The early Jeopardy! board set six lanes: Around New York City, That’s A Fact, Crossword Clues “O”, We Are Family, I Wanna Put On My Bougie Shoes, and Disco Inferno. Allegra hit the Daily Double in We Are Family for $1,200 and led the first break with $3,800 on 8 correct and 2 incorrect. Larisa Mount sat at $600 (1 correct, 0 incorrect), and Mason Hendrix had $200 (3 correct, 2 incorrect).
By the end of the round, scores were Allegra $4,200, Larisa $1,600, and Mason −$400.
Double Jeopardy! and the runaway math
Double Jeopardy! rotated to Historic African Figures, The Television Setting, Facts About Classical Composers, It’s Fiction Science, Laying Down The Latin Law Lingo, and Triple Rhyme Time. Mason found DD2 but missed it and remained in the red; Allegra later converted DD3 to cement a runaway. End‑of‑round scores: Allegra $15,500, Larisa $4,000, Mason −$400 (thus ineligible for Final).
- Double Jeopardy! stat line — Allegra: 27 correct, 6 incorrect; Larisa: 7 correct, 1 incorrect; Mason: 11 correct, 6 incorrect.
- Unplayed clues this season: 6 (none today).

Analysis
With $15,500 to $4,000 before Final, Allegra’s runaway required only a cover bet against an unlikely double‑up. The clean conversion on a broadly gettable film clue pushes her to a three‑game total of $85,001. Given the post‑game probabilities listed (58.016% to reach 4 wins; 33.659% to 5), Monday becomes a line‑in‑the‑sand test for a budding streak.
Jeopardy today brought textbook control: early board tempo, aggressive but measured Daily Double play, and disciplined wagering. If she maintains a near‑48% first‑on‑buzzer rate and keeps Final clean, Allegra projects to an average streak length of 4.382 games.

Bottom line
Jeopardy today ends with Allegra Kuney at $20,000 for the day and $85,001 across three games. The board mix favored her strengths, the Daily Doubles broke right, and a 1960s film layup sealed it. On to Monday.
