It’s Thursday!
Also, to answer some of the search queries I’m seeing in my web stats? Fred’s married. Sorry, folks!
Today’s contestants:
Mara Apostol, a criminal defense attorney from Miami, FL |
Phyllis Kidd, a retired teacher from Glen Ellyn, IL |
Fred Vaughn, an Internet operations technician from Mineral Point, WI (4-day total: $65,700) |
Mara’s going to be on the next “Week In Review” episode of #JeopardyLivePanel, scheduled for Sunday, January 31st at 7 PM Eastern!
Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Fred $11,600
Mara $10,400
Phillis $8,400
Final Jeopardy! category: BRITISH MUSICAL THEATRE
Final Jeopardy! clue: A critic said, “I doubt if there is a single joke in” this 1885 work “that fits the Japanese. But all the jokes…fit the English”

Phillis 8400 + 3201 = 11601
Mara 10400 + 6401 = 16801 (1-day total: $16,801)
Fred 11600 + 5000 = 16600
Fred’s bet wins a Triple Stumper, but it doesn’t do much for him on a triple-get like this! But Mara’s the new champion! She’ll be back tomorrow!

HAIL MARA!!
Fantastic game, all! Really exciting!
I loved Fred. Hopefully he stays in the TOC running.
Congratulations, Fred, on being only the third four-or-more-time champion in the last seven months. While Fred will probably be invited to the next ToC, it’s interesting that the first person with a guaranteed spot will be the college champion.
