Jeopardy! recap for Wed., May 30 – Here are today’s contestants:

– Amy, an attorney from Bloomfield, NJ, who has seven cats accidentally;
– Amanda, a librarian from Houston, TX, who was nearly four when she took her oath of citizenship; and
– Jeffrey, a private investor from New York, NY, who is going to marry a rabbi. Jeffrey is a one-day champ with winnings of $25,000.
