Jeopardy! is back with yet another episode that aired on BravoTV yesterday. After returning for the third time, Mehal Shah entered the competition and went against Adam Hersh and Courtney Schooley. Let us find out if Mehal was able to hit a hat trick and win the championship for the third time.
Season 41 of the show has encountered a lot of exciting moments and fans have never been more thrilled. This week Mehal had everyone on the edge of their seats as his strategic gameplay has won him over $40,000 in the last two episodes. Yesterday Mehal came on stage as a threat to the other two contestants.
However, this turned out to be a bad day for him. The November 22 episode was all about the movies and it turns out that might not be Mehal's cup of tea after all. Defeating Mehal, Adam became the champion yesterday's.
Let's take a look at the recap of yesterday's episode.
