I liked the categories when the Jeopardy round started. It wasn’t my best Jeopardy round, though. I didn’t get more than three right in any category. Is it just me, or was General Science tough? The first clue of the round was a triple-stumper, and they all stumped me. I did get the “chainlink” triple-stumper in the round, which I was surprised was one. I got the “Runaway Ralph” triple-stumper, but I thought Andrew Dobbs had a decent guess with “Ramona.” In the Double Jeopardy round, I got the “Dunes” triple-stumper which I decided to try at the last second.
Would you guys accept “worms” when Jay Rhee said “earthworms”?
The Double Jeopardy round featured a theme with categories that were also ’80s Oscar Winners, including a category all about them. Jay seemed to hunt for the Daily Double again, and he did find the first one three clues in. Pat Connor found the second one. I was dismayed by her wagering this game. She wagered just 600 of her 1200 in the Jeopardy round, and in Double Jeopardy, when Mr. Trebek pointed out she was behind Jay by about 10000, she wagered just 2000 of her 6400. Playing not to lose, for sure. As a result Jay had a lock going into the Final. There were three clues left at the end of the Double Jeopardy round.
I got today’s Final, which was a triple-stumper. Too bad that doesn’t boost the Coryat. Mine today was 18600. Jay‘s was 16000, Dobbs’ was 3800, and Pat’s was 7600.
With four wins now under Jay’s belt, will we see him at the Tournament of Champions? I like Jay and I think he’s worthy, but here’s hoping Buddy Wright will still be there.
