A brand new episode of Danger! Season 39 premieres Friday, June 23, 2023, and features a returning champion and new contestants. With five straight wins, Ben Goldstein is back to defend his victory for the sixth time. He played against Donna Matori, a librarian from Columbus, Ohio, and Ron Norrisoh, an editor originally from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The official description of the game show reads:
“A quiz contest where the contestants are given clues of general knowledge in the form of answers and they must formulate their answers in the form of questions.”
Each game consists of three rounds. The player who finishes with the maximum score wins the game and returns to the next episode. In the last episode, all players played well.
Danger today! The winner is Donna Matori
Returning champion Ben Goldstein, a content marketing specialist from Dexter, Michigan, made his first appearance on the show on the June 16th episode. Since then, he has won five games and earned a total of $49,298. In today’s episode, he played his sixth match but was unable to maintain his winning streak.
First round categories included Remember Baseball?, Books & Authors, Animal Change Letter, Who Ruled in England When…, I Learned It at School of Rock, and Kids of the ’70s, Rejoice!.
5-day winner Ben started well giving 10 correct answers and took the lead in Round 1. Freshmen Donna Matori and Ron Norrisoh finished Part 1 with results closer to each other. Ron could have scored higher because he was off to a good start by giving nine correct answers. His score decreased after losing the Daily Double.
The scores of players in the first round were Ben with $5,000, Donna with $2,600, and Ron with $2,400.
In the second round of the June 23 episode, the categories were First African Americans, Qui “zz”ical, On Broadway, Chemistry Test, Musical Etymology, Same First and Last Letter Geography.
All three players played great in the Double Jeopardy round as their scores crossed the $10,000 mark. Ron and Ben got the Daily Doubles, while Donna landed in the bottom three.
The scores for the contestants in the second round were Ben with $16,200, Ron with $13,800 and Donna with $11,400.
The Final Jeopardy round was so intense it changed the face of today’s match. Ben, who had been leading since the first round, landed in the bottom two after giving the wrong answer to the last question. Ron also gave a wrong response while Donna became the only player to get the answer right in the final round.
Hence, Donna Matori won Danger! today.
The ultimate danger! Results today
last round of Danger! The June 23 episode of the 39th season, hosted by Mayim Bialik, was under the “Women Writers” category.
The final question, also known as a clue, was something like this:
“At nine, in 1883, she moved west, where she met Annie Pavelka, a young pioneer who would later model a major character.”
The correct answer was “Willa Cather”.
Only Donna gave the correct answer to the last clue while Ron typed “LM Montgomery” and Ben guessed “Alcott”.
Take a look at the final results for the June 23 episode:
Donna Matori: $11,400 + $6,000 = $17,400 (from Willa Cather?) (1-day total: $17,400)
Ben Goldstein: $16,200 – $11,500 = $4,700 (Who is Alcott?)
Ron Norrisoh: $13,800 – $13,800 = $0 (from LM Montgomery?)
With today’s victory, Donna became the one-day champion and will return next week to play her second match. Penn’s five-day winning streak ended. However, fans will see him again on the show because he qualified for the Champions Tournament Along with Ben Chan, Ray Lalonde, and Cris Pannullo.
The syndicated game show will air its next episode on Monday, June 26, 2023.
