Final Jeopardy! category: 20TH CENTURY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Final Jeopardy! clue: He was awarded a DFC in WWII for a combat mission as pilot of the B-24 bomber he named the “Dakota Queen”
Who is George McGovern? (Jill and Kaberi picked Bob Dole, Jason, “Charles who fixed my tie”)
Final Results
Today:
Jill 1600 – 1600 = 0
Kaberi 8800 – 0 = 8800
Jason 20800 – 0 = 20800
2-Day Totals:
Jason 22601 + 20800 = 43401 ($100,000)
Kaberi 4600 + 8800 = 13400 ($50,000)
Jill 10000 + 0 = 10000 ($25,000)
Interestingly, the “Dakota Queen” was actually named for McGovern’s wife Eleanor, whom he married in 1943 (they stayed married 64 years until her 2007 death).
