Correct response: What is Bangladesh?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Dhallywood is centered on the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka. The dominant film style in Bangladesh is melodrama; however, the industry in Bangladesh has definitely had cycles. Some eras have seen numerous critically acclaimed films, while others have seen chiefly low-budget melodramas and low-budget remakes of Bollywood hits from India.

I guessed India, thinking it was the Sanskrit spelling of Dollywood, but alas India is Bollywood. The winner gets $2 less than runner-up Kelly.
Weird bet by Andrew anyway, he was playing for a tie!!??
And yet another champ, so congrats to Andrew and the ToC list remains unchanged again, starting another “countdown”.
Curious Final bet by Kelly. She only had to bet $10,000 to cover anything the others could get to. It’s amazing how many of these really smart people try to see how much money they can win rather than just trying to win the game. Maybe she just felt confident about the category.
And yet…that doesn’t change anything from the fact that she didn’t have a response AND bets almost the whole farm. Likewise, I agree with you on that statement of her wager.
Nice math Maurine. The winner got $802. less than the runner-up!
What was that Machiavelli quote that was in the second round? I can’t remember enough to google search it.
“Previous victories are all canceled by present defeats”.
Calculator screw-up; he got $802 less than Kelly’s $2,000. But she had $16,200 from the day before.
I looked up the Bengali language. It does have the characteristics of the Hindu consonants and script. For practical business and education purposes, English is heavily used, although it is not mentioned as a second language in the constitution when Bangladesh became an independent country. (I studied Sanskrit, Homeric Greek, and Gothic when I was a graduate student at the University of Washington umpteen years ago.)
Under the category 5-Syllable Words, the answer was “This “stately” element was discovered in 1950″. The contestant answered California and was correct. If this was the date when California became a state, the year is 1850, not 1950. And if that is what the date was supposed to be, how come the contestant got it right? By the way, Mr. Trebek even said “Nineteen Hundred and Fifty”.
No. The contestant clearly said “Californium”. If he had said otherwise, the judges would have told us. The “Gangsta’s Paradise” incident showed us that the judges are keen-eared and check everything that could even be remotely considered incorrect.
Moreover, the judges have access to the direct audio from the contestants. We at home do not. Attempting to judge off the broadcast audio is wholly inappropriate.
In Bengali, “dh” sounds like “t” in English. That was the basis of a protracted stoppage in the 2016 Teachers Tournament, on which Alex’s ruling was overruled (and in fact, the judges reversed themselves following further research). Seeing the first three letters “Dha” and the similar pronunciation to Bollywood enabled me to get this one on sight…
…which is why I think it’s worth mentioning how the contestants actually see Final Jeopardy! on Stage Ten (as I understand it). The clue text appears just like any clue in the main game – in one of the 30 game board monitors, near the center of the board. (In the early years, Alex would stand next to the monitor, but now he remains at his podium, with the category on the big screen to his left.) Thus, they might have only gone off of Alex’s reading. That’s how I can see Andrew getting to the UAE through Abu Dhabi (and there, even the letters support that response) – or Senegal (capital: Dakar), as I’ve seen in discussion on other J! forums.
I thought of Kaberi’s response from Teachers as well.
