@@raym4311 I don't think that was the reason for tiebreakers. If there was widespread cheating, the show would have dealt with that. For three contestants, who all probably just met on the show, to try and coordinate a tie, would be next to impossible. The reason mentioned was to preserve the flow of contestants. There are very few openings on the show, and they wanted to preserve knowing they'll at least be two new contestants on the next show.

They want to discourage contestants from intentionally tying games (collusion), and to encourage larger "Final Jeopardy" wagers. Similar to how overtime in football (and moving EP kicks back to 15 yard line) encourages teams to attempt TD's & 2 point conversions to win, rather than field goals & 1 point kicks to tie.

@@djm5687 There is no evidence of any collusion. However, Arthur Chu wagered to tie in all his non-lock games because 2003 College Champion Keith Williams argued it was better from a game theory perspective. thefinalwager.com/2014/01/21/guide-to-game-theory-dominance/comment-page-1/ That then led to other players reading Williams' blog and using the same strategy. I question whether it was really valid. After all, since the tiebreaker rule was implemented, players in a close second don't seem to bet it all any loss often.And, the most important advantage in Jeopardy! is being the only one with buzzer experience, as Scott's loss on the next episode showed. Also, tiebreaker or no, Scott could have bet $5,399 and won $2,799 more for himself with hardly any extra risk of loss, and then possibly won the next game for even more money. But, enough people bought into Williams' theories that Jeopardy! changed the rules. I find that unfortunate, since I would prefer to see co-champions when the tie is genuine (such as when two leaders or even all three players are tied going into FJ and double).

Correct. The contestants heard a little kid ask Alex during the commercial break before the Final Jeopardy! clue, if there had ever been a 3-way tie at the end of the game. They thought it sounded like a cool idea! So all 3 of them figured out that the two tied going in could get $16,000 maximum with a correct response, and told the champion what to bet. Then they all just hoped that they all knew the answer. It's the only time in Jeopardy! history, known, where the game was rigged.
