Danger! Season 39 returned to KABC-TV with an all-new episode on Friday, April 7, 2023, featuring Three-Day Champion Brian Henegar and two new players. Until Thursday’s episode, the guest services agent in La Follette, Tennessee, had taken in $68,202. He was ready to defend his victory in the last episode for the fourth time.
The two new nominees included Rachel Clark, director of client strategy from Washington, DC, and Brandie Ashe, personal assistant from Panama City, Florida.
The official synopsis for the game show reads:
“A returning champion and two challengers test their buzzing skills and knowledge in a wide range of academic and popular categories.”
In Friday’s episode, all three players played pretty well and ended up scoring closer to each other.
Today Danger! the winner is Rachel Clark
Rachel Clark defeated three-day champion Brian Henegar on the April 7 episode for just $100. The latter took first place in the first two laps but came second in the final segment.
In the first round, categories included “Norway Is Famous For…, Americana, Landing On Planet Franchise, De-Composing, Good “E”, Two Shoes”.
Brian delivered the maximum number of correct answers in the first round. Although he lost the first Daily Double, he answered 17 questions correctly. Rachel gave three correct answers and one incorrect answer, while Brandie Ashe provided five correct answers with no incorrect answers.
The players’ scores in the first round were: Brian at $8,000, Brandie at $2,800, and Rachel at $1,000.
In round two of the episode hosted by Ken Jennings, categories included “You’ve Totally Ruled!”, Life and Death in Literary Titles, Science, Acronym Secret, Pop Culture, Animal Words .”
The Double Jeopardy round turned into an interesting match between Rachel and Brian. The Director of Client Strategy found the second Daily Double and took the lead. The third Daily Double went to Brian and he worked his way up the scoreboard. Brandie wasn’t far behind either as she came in third place. The scores of the three players were closer to each other.
Brian clinched first place with a score of $15,200, while Rachel took home $12,000 and Brandie scored $10,000.
In the Final Jeopardy round, neither player was able to correctly answer the final question. Interestingly, the scores for all three competitors ended up under $6,500. Rachel took the lead with $100, ending Brian’s winning streak after three wins. Brandie continued to hold third place.
So Rachel Clark won Danger! Today.
Last peril! results today
In the April 7 episode, the category for the final round was “Geography”, and the last clue/question was as follows:
“Of the 13 nations crossed by the equator, it is the only one whose coastline borders the Caribbean Sea.”
The correct answer was “Colombia”.
None of the players gave the correct answer to the final question. While Brian wrote “Brazil,” Rachel and Brandie’s responses were “Ecuador” and “Venezuela,” respectively.
Take a look at the final results from the April 7 episode:
Rachel Clark: $12,000 – $5,500 = $6,500 (What is Equator) (one day total: $6,500)
Brian Henegar: $15,200 – $8,800 = $6,400 (What is Brazil?)
Brandie Ashe: $10,000 – $4,000 = $6,000 (What is Venezuela?)
With today’s win, Rachel became the one-day Jeopardy Champion! Season 39. She beat three-day winner Brian, who could have earned a spot in the Tournament of Champions if he had won today’s game.
Meanwhile, Rachel will return to play her second game and defend her win next week.
The Emmy-winning syndicated show will air its next episode on Monday, April 9, 2023.
