Ken Jennings revealed a difficult question for the final round, which appeared in a video clip uploaded to YouTube after the show aired.
“The decisive Jeopardy! clue in this heated game will worry historical people,” Ken said to present the answer.
“An island near Cebu City has a statue of LapuLapu and a monument to this man who LapuLapu is said to have killed in 1521,” he read.
At the start of the final round, Adriana was leading with $14,400, while Josh was second with $12,200.
Amy came in third place with a total of $6,200, which she reduced to $3,700 after betting with the incorrect answer, Atilla The Hun.
Josh also took a hit after writing down Captain Cook, which dropped his final total to $9,999.
Finally, Ken revealed Adriana’s response to realizing that she was lucky to escape.
The game show star wrote Captain Cook, but crossed it out and wrote the correct answer, Magellen.
“She wrote Cook, but at the last minute changed it to Magellen,” Ken told the studio.
“And that is correct, Cebu City, Philippines.
“So you’ll add $11,000, making it £25,400 for the day,” concluded Ken.
Adriana smiled with her big victory, which left her miles ahead of the other two competitors.
FAN’S LOVE
Fans flooded the comments section with relief at Adriana’s situation.
“It’s very rewarding to see players initially write an incorrect answer, then go back and write the correct answer. Like ‘wow, they [the player] got it right!’” wrote a relieved follower.
“That was a good move on her part to keep her winning streak going,” another added.
“I hope she continues on Monday!” said a third.
Before Friday’s episode, Adriana scored her second win on Thursday, totaling $46,200.
KEN’S COMMENTS
Thursday’s episode also featured an aggressive moment from Ken when dealing with a music-related issue.
Adriana appeared against Brad Miller and Sandee and Ken appeared to beat the others.
In double jeopardy! Third Eye Blind’s track read: “This ordinal band sang about a ‘semi-enchanted kind of life’ in a song with lots of doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doos.”
