Yesterday, romance novelist John Campbell defeated 3-time champ Shane Curtis. Let’s see what he does today. First I want to show you a Twitter conversation I had this morning!
@vamosdavidOh, I didn’t see! 😀 that’s so awesome!!!!! Haha!— Love Reading Romance (@LoveReadRomance)October 16, 2014
Jim Hamilton
John Campbell
Chris Hoeh
Does anybody know of John’s books? Better yet, has anyone read them? And best, can anyone track him down for me? 🙂 Andy and I hoped to have our Hangout about this week’s episodes this weekend, but contestants are still making themselves scarce. Sorry.
John started with a tough category, Alexander Hamilton, Grumpy Guy, but he did well in it, going 4/5. Uh, I didn’t. I did sweep Music, so that includes this triple-stumper: “In 2004 he won a Song of the Year Grammy for ‘Daughters.'” At the first break:
John 3800 (6 right)
Chris 1400 (3 right and one wrong)
Jim 1600 (5 right)
John found the Daily Double of the round in Inventive Thinking.
John 4200 (One right and one wrong)
Chris 2600 (2 right and one wrong)
Jim 1600
John wagered 2000 on this clue: “More than Bell’s sidekick, he came up with a ringer that let a telephone caller alert the recipient.” John and I got it right. Again, one of the easier clues appears at the bottom of a category instead of the top!
The next clue was a triple-stumper I got right in Elements of the Fairy Tale: “Weavers don’t weave; a kid tells it like it is; out goes a G rating for not-so-brief royal nudity.” Jim was so close, and the other contestants still didn’t pick it up! I got it right before his neg. I also got this triple-stumper in Egging You On: “This 3-word Chinese-American dish also includes bean sprouts, water chestnuts, scallions & ham.” At the end of the round:
John 8400 (3 right)
Chris 4200 (2 right)
Jim 2000 (One right and one wrong)
There’d been 2 clues left in the round.
Double Jeopardy was brutally difficult, yeah? I’m sure you also noticed John was sometimes painfully slow to select. Near the end of the round I thought it was a strategy to see as few clues as possible and thus ensure his lock, but I can’t explain the other times! Really I think he needn’t have worried.
John found the first Daily Double of the round in European Rivers. (Yucky category.)
John 11200 (3 right)
Chris 4200
Jim 2400 (One right)
John wagered 3000 on this clue: “Iberus was the ancient name for the longest river entirely within this country.” Did you guys lose the coin flip like I did? John was right. Chris then negged on a 2000 clue! Ouch!
John found the next Daily Double too, in Social Science Books.
John 16600 (3 right and one wrong)
Chris 2200 (One wrong)
Jim 2400
This time John wagered 1000, on this (impossible?) clue: “‘What do school teachers & sumo wrestlers have in common?’ is one question asked in this ‘crazy’ 2005 book.” Why was crazy in quotes, anyway? Not that it matters. Of course John didn’t get it.
At this point, since John was selecting so slowly, Chris and Jim should’ve picked higher-valued clues. But they didn’t until Trebek gave a time-running-out warning. (Contestant coordinators advise contestants to do that no matter the situation.)
I got this triple-stumper in Feel-good Movies: “1952, starring Lana Turner: ‘The ____ Widow.'” I said what John did though (and was wrong) on this last clue of the round, in Social Science Books: “James Surowiecki wrote of ‘The Wisdom of’ these large groups, as opposed to Elites.” It was my only neg of the game. Two clues were left covered. I like books, so I’d like to have seen those.
John 17200 (3 right and one wrong)
Chris 4200 (3 right)
Jim 6000 (3 right)
The Final Jeopardy category was Literature. This was the clue: “This title 1864 adventure is embarked upon by a descent into Iceland’s Mount Sneffels.” I got this pretty easily. Chris and John got it, too. Pretty bizarre response of “Heidi” from Jim. A “title adventure”?! Poor Jim had to hear Trebek say he loved the humor, but I don’t think Jim was trying for laughs. Anyway Chris doubled his score, Jim lost 2400, and John added 1800. We’ll see him tomorrow. I hope I get to update the ToC list then.
My Coryat today was 17800 (18600 without the neg).
