Yesterday Alexander Persaud made the ToC list (which will be updated at the bottom of this post). I love it, and I hope he kills it again today. Trebek said at the top of today’s episode Alexander seems to be getting better each day.
Alexander
Mike Harwood
Ali Palmer (What does she analyze?)
It was Mike who started strong though, getting 4/5 in Othello. And he didn’t slow down. At the first break:
Alexander 2800 (4 right)
Ali 800 (2 right and one wrong)
Mike 4800 (9 right)
I love Alexander’s choice of what he’s going to do with his winnings – going with his dad to the 2015 cricket World Cup in Australia/New Zealand. Trebek liked it too.
We (okay, Mike) finally found the Daily Double in Money Talks.
Alexander 5400 (4 right)
Ali 1400 (2 right and one wrong)
Mike 6800 (3 right)
Mike wagered 1400 on this clue: “Like Annie says, if something’s a sure thing, you can do this, put up the last money you have.” I got this but to my surprise, Mike didn’t!
It was too close for me to be comfortable at the end of the round.
Alexander 5400 (One right and one wrong)
Ali 1800 (One right)
Mike 6000 (2 right)
Alexander seemed to think his response of “Tinky Winky” was as funny as I did on this triple-stumper in Take the Stairs: “In a nursery rhyme, he runs ‘upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown.'” But good for him for knowing the correct response to this next clue, still in Take the Stairs!: “Some believe the spiral staircase in the Loretto chapel in Santa Fe was built by this patron saint of carpenters himself!”
I’ve seen that and it is cool. By the way, happy feast of Pope Saint John Paul II!
Ali found the first Daily Double, still in Take the Stairs!
Alexander 7000 (2 right and one wrong)
Ali 3400 (One right)
Mike 6000
Ali wagered it all – which I would’ve done – on this clue: “The Keats-Shelley Memorial House in Rome is located near the foot of these famous stairs.” She got it!
We were having quite an exciting game by the time Mike found the next Daily Double in Getting in Shape. It seemed like Alexander and Mike were taking turns responding correctly, and both seemed to be hunting for the Daily Double.
Alexander 11000 (3 right)
Ali 10800 (4 right and one wrong)
Mike 13600 (7 right)
Were you expecting Mike to get negged here for saying “pinchers” on this clue in Crabby!?: “A crab’s front legs develop into claws called chelae, better known by this ‘ouchy’ name.” Immediately after that clue was read, Mike seemed to pause waiting for Trebek to change his mind. At any rate, he wagered on this Daily Double clue: “It’s a diamond-shaped rhombus, or a medicated sore throat candy.” Mike got it. Like Ali before him, he faked me out as to whether he was going to get it. As a nurse, I dispense lots of those but I’ve never heard that word used in a geometry sense.
Oh man, these scores at the end of the round:
Alexander 16200 (5 right)
Ali 12000 (2 right)
Mike 18600 (3 right and one wrong)
Come on, Alexander!
The Final Jeopardy category was Eponymous Geography. I bet Alexander felt comfortable with this. This was the clue: “Named around 1616, it’s the world’s fifth-largest island & the largest named after a person.” Ali was right! She added 4300. Alexander was wrong!! He lost 7800. Mike was wrong too and lost 13801. Ali wins?!? Okay. We’ll see how she does tomorrow.
I did not track my Coryat today. This is the only World Series game I’ll be able to catch, and I had a church event tonight. In other words, I didn’t want to spend time watching the episode twice. 🙂 My Coryat yesterday, by the way, was 27600 (28600 without negs).
