Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century People) for Friday, September 29, 2017:
On June 28, 1838 an archbishop jammed a ring made for her little finger onto her 4th; she had to soak it in ice water to get it off
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Jim Bickford, an attorney from Aurora, Colorado |
Colin O’Bannon, a pool room owner from Columbus, Ohio |
Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York (3-day total: $96,100) |
[spoiler title=’Click/Tap Here for Final Jeopardy! Correct Response/Question’]Who is Queen Victoria?[/spoiler]
The 1838 coronation of Queen Victoria is generally considered to be the last of the “botched coronations”. (I’m sure our champion Austin would use more colorful language to describe it.) There was very little rehearsal, and it showed in that the Archbishop of Canterbury put Victoria’s sovereign ring on the wrong finger, and it only came off with great pain.
For coronations that followed after Victoria’s 1901 death, British historians devised a coronation program that was much better rehearsed in order to prevent these mishaps from occurring again.

I must admit I am in awe. Austin, if you’re reading this, great job.
Not only am I impressed, but THREE runaways in 4 games!
This puts Austin on the ToC tracker, does it not? 4 wins, $123,100 puts him ahead of Tim Kutz… and I suspect he’s not done yet.
It does!
Guess the only way Tim Kutz could stay alive for the ToC seeding is if the same situation happened on a previous ToC where Slowik was replaced by Japinga happens to one of the contestants in this ToC. Otherwise, that’s pretty much over for Tim Kutz.
The only other way would be if Austin runs his streak up to at least 29 games (that is, he’s the reigning champion when the ToC starts). Exceptionally unlikely, of course.
I think if Austin sweeps all 5 games this coming week he wouldn’t qualify for this ToC. To the best of my knowledge, the cutoff date is October 6.
To the best of my knowledge, the cutoff date is November 3.
Good to see a local boy make good!
Keep winning Austin. You are so much fun to watch!
The currant champ seems quirky , nothing wrong with that, but he has words and numbers he doesn’t like. Anyone else notice?
What “words” or “numbers” do you think Austin dislikes?
Austin Rogers got me hooked on Jeopardy again! Over the $100K mark in 4 wins! WOW…Keep winning!
I love Audtin but still sucks for Tim cause I had Tim as one of the favs for the TOC if he got in but now that looks to be over unless a player drops out or Austin keeps winning pass the toc.
Jim spelled albumin wrong but got credit.
You have confused “albumen” (the word referring to the white of an egg) with “albumin” (the protein contained within the egg).
Also see this link from Merriam-Webster about the winning word of the 1928 bee.
Love, love, love Austin. Wonderful, talented guy. Wondering if that is his hair or a wig. I say it’s his hair. Is it?
Pretty sure it’s his hair.
What do you love about him?
Is Austin john Laroquette’s double? He looks so much like a younger version of John.
If, hypothetically, Austin still doesn’t lose before the ToC cutoff date, does he still participate or does he have to wait until next time?
If Austin has not lost before the start of the Tournament of Champions, he will be in the next Tournament.
