The names of all 3 contestants began with “L” today. Even more surprising, Mr. Trebek didn’t mention it. Maybe it was because we had co-champions today, sort of a rare occurrence.
Lanny Timan
Lloyd Caesar (Cool name)
Liz Greenwood
By the time Liz found the Daily Double in America Before the Revolution, I had only missed (clammed on) one of the previous nine clues, this one in Biolo”g”: “From the Greek for ‘stomach,’ this 7-letter adjective means pertaining to an organism’s stomach.” At Daily Double time, Liz had 2800, Lanny had 1800, and Lloyd had 400. Liz wagered 1200 on this clue: “It remained a separate colony for most of its 71 years until it was absorbed by Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1691.” Liz’s response of “Plymouth Plantation” was ruled incorrect.
Lanny reminded me of Vijay Balse (just briefly now!) when she said she watched Jeopardy! in college after coming from a foreign country.
I got two triple-stumpers in TV Private Eyes: “She portrayed ex-model Maddie Hayes.” And “This late actor drove a T-Bird as Dan Tanna.”
At the end of the round, Lanny had 3000, Lloyd had 2200, and Liz led with 7200, though she appeared to struggle to ring in at first.
In the Double Jeopardy round, Lloyd left Patron Saints for “Right” or “Left.” Luckily for him he was the one to come back to it – The Daily Double was the next clue there. He and Lanny both had 6600 while Liz had 12000. Lloyd wagered 2000 on this clue: “Born in 1225, this Italian is the patron saint of Catholic schools, universities, and colleges.” It was the only clue in the category I missed, having guessed “Ignatius.” Lloyd got it right.
I got this triple-stumper in Bestsellers: “In 2011 this son of a president published the moving memoir ‘My Father at 100.'”
Lloyd found the next Daily Double, too, in It’s in the Papers. This time he had 11400, while Liz still had 12000 and Lanny had 9000. Lloyd wagered 4000 this time on this clue: “The full title of a Dickens novel is ‘The Posthumous Papers of’ this club.” Lloyd got it right, and so did I, although I have to admit I really didn’t know what I was talking about.
At the end of the round, Lloyd trailed Liz slightly. He had 19800 and Liz had 20400. Lanny had 8600. The Final Jeopardy category is The 20th Century. This was the clue: “In the 1940s Franklin Roosevelt coined this term in reference to all the countries allied against the axis powers.” Lanny and Liz missed it, and so did I. Lloyd got it right and added 2559 to his total. ? Lloyd, then, is your new champ.
I noticed that in the Jeopardy round, I’d gotten 5 of the highest-dollar amount clues. In the Double Jeopardy round, I’d only gotten one. My Coryat, nonetheless, was 24000, which is higher than it’s been in a while but still not as good as I’d like. Lanny‘s Coryat was 8600, Liz’s was 21600, and Lloyd’s was 17000.
Now, you may remember that I had thrown out the idea of reading the works from which “Best Adapted Screenplay” nominees came, then watch the movie. I haven’t forgotten about it, but I was still deciding if I was going to do it. (There are so many books that lure me away!) I did see Accidental Billionaires at the used bookstore ($2!), which turned into “The Social Network,” and would be the first one on the long list. I bought it and started it today. It’s a fast read! So if you want to join me, maybe now’s a good time to start.
