    Becca looked like Amy Farrah Fowler to me and my folks! Wish she had bet it all. That would’ve been an epic first day total.

    Becca looked like a 20-game champion going into Final Jeopardy.

      For sure but ended up as a 1 game runner up.

        If this were a tournament quarterfinal game, she would have definitely already gotten a wild card to the semis and could have won the Tournament of Champions.

    In the Final’s explanation, why is the punctuation placed outside the quotation marks in the first three cited “works” but inside them on the last two? Nailed a Final at last. I was starting to feel suicidal…

    Same comment several others have already noted, in the Biblical pairs category. Don’t understand how the writers made such a glaring error in the question that had the response of Mary and joseph. I couldn’t even concentrate on the rest of the game, wondering how they got that so wrong!

    But Keith disappeared after December 2016 without any announcements and never came back.
