Whitaker’s final score was $21,999, besting his competitors Samantha Meier, an assistant principal from North Reading, Massachusetts, and Wilder Seitz, a cashier and writer from Los Angeles, California. Both Whitaker and Seitz successfully answered the Final Jeopardy! category, with Seitz walking away with a total of $999 and Meier walking away with $7,400.
