I knew I was right and Mudcrab was wrong about this but I was having a hard time finding evidence to prove this so I let it go, but a game show twitter account just pointed out this article Jeopardy! themselves posted this on their own official website the day after we had this conversation:

The rules state, "...all contestant responses to an answer must be phrased in the form of a question." It's that simple. Jeopardy! doesn't require that the response is grammatically correct. Further, the three-letter name of a British Invasion rock band can be a correct response all by itself ("The Who?"), and even "Is it...?" has been accepted. So, Matt Amodio's no-frills approach is unique but well with guidelines.

No. If you finish with negative balance you don't get to play final Jeopardy.

I remember an Opie and Anthony doing a bit where they said that if they were ever on Jeopardy! they'd end their responses with isn't it instead of starting them with what is.
