“You’re a famous face on TV now, Isaac,” said Ken Jennings, “but I heard your car was famous before you.”

Isaac laughed before saying, “Absolutely. When you live in LA, some strange opportunities arise and my car was booked for an appearance on the sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”

He added: “I wasn’t booked to appear. I’m not in the sitcom at all, but you can see my car very clearly and people from my hometown have been messaging me saying, ‘We saw your car!’ So I’m basically famous.”

Ken asked, “Was your car any good in the game?” Isaac replied, “Yes, it looked suitably battered and old, which it is.”

The game then continued with Isaac leading by $5,800, Sarah trailing by $2,400, and Alex still nowhere to be found. When it came to Double Jeopardy, Isaac was still ahead by $7,000, Sarah had $3,000, and Alex had $400.

Then it was time for the finals, Isaac had a huge lead with $26,200, Sarah had $5,000 and Alex had $1,600. The clue to the finals was tricky because three of the four official languages ​​of Aruba were tested.

Isaac and Sarah got only two, not enough for points, and Alex got all of them. Despite missing Final Jeopardy, Isaac won for $22,200 and now has a three-day total of $70,186.

During his first game, Isaac revealed that his father was on Jeopardy! in the 80s but didn’t win. It was also revealed that Isaac had previously competed on The Chase.
