Quick Recap & Final Jeopardy – December 9, 2015

So, in light of the Internet going gaga over Liz earlier this week, Kerry Greene suggested the following:

In light of everyone seemingly wanting @whatthefritz, @grnwaz has suggested I start a #Jeopardy dating site. Good idea, or great idea?

I thought it was amusing, but the idea seems to be gaining traction!

Onto the show. Today’s contestants:

Jon Lubbers, a mechanical engineer from Lafayette, CO

Bianca Howard, a waste reduction specialist from Cary, NC

Alex Maggio, a writer from Cincinnati, OH (1-day total: $15,100)

Quote of the day definitely went to Jon, when he decided that “What’s a dead hunchback”? was the best way of responding to this clue instead of “dead ringer”, under WORDS & PHRASES: An exact duplicate, not a deceased Quasimodo, it was a horse switched for another to defraud bookies

I didn’t find a problem with the clue, but others did:

Jon’s response of ‘dead hunchback’ made my day. Exactly what I would have said. Weirdly worded question. #jeopardy
