Kaya Chua was in the audience for the semifinals and finals; she provided her thoughts back in November to The Jeopardy! Fan.

This is Day 1 of a two-day total point affair: today’s scores are added to tomorrow’s to come up with the tournament champion.

Meanwhile, knowing Alex Jacob’s strategy, we all knew it was going to happen: he was going to go big on the Daily Doubles. But it still doesn’t make things any less dramatic when it actually does happen. Alex put himself into an absolutely commanding position here with a big score! But Matt and Kerry are no slouches; anything could still happen in Game 2 of the final!

Final Jeopardy! category: FRENCH NOVEL TITLE HEROES

Final Jeopardy! clue: He “looked as if he had been shut up for a long time in a tomb and… been unable to recover the… complexion of the living”

  • Can you believe it where we live in mid Michigan wnemTV5 is not! Airing the last show if the tournament.instead they are showing a pre season football game.can you believe it?????

      My advice to you, Jim, would be to contact WNEM to express your opinion.

      (I can certainly understand, though, why a television station would elect to show a preseason football game over a Jeopardy! rerun. This is why the show does run six weeks of encore presentations over the summer, because affiliates often pre-empt the show for various reasons — preseason football and the Olympics among the most common ones).
