Correct response: What is My Fair Lady?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The musical My Fair Lady was based of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, and gets its name from the last line of the nursery rhyme which opens “London Bridge is falling down”. London Bridge was relocated to Lake Havasu City, Arizona when the London structure was replaced in 1968, where it currently links the mainland with the marinas of Lake Havasu.
Interestingly, the show has gone down this “My Fair Lady”-London Bridge route before with Final Jeopardy, back in 2007, when it also linked it to Pygmalion.

Tournament of Champions projections:
With a projected 123 regular-play games to go prior to the Tournament of Champions cutoff, after 500,000 simulations, our model shows:
An average of 3.4808 5+-time champions (standard deviation 1.5603).
An average of 6.2997 4+-time champions (standard deviation 1.9309).
An early cutoff took place 3.165% of the time (or a 5-game winner will be left out).
Dana Wayne qualified 5.856% of the time.
Eric R. Backes qualified 88.014% of the time.
Anneke Garcia qualified 72.092% of the time.
Dave Leffler qualified 48.230% of the time.
Jonathan Dinerstein qualified 22.411% of the time.
Alex Schmidt qualified 5.602% of the time.
John Presloid qualified 0.793% of the time.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- It is absolutely clear to me that Matt did fail to respond in the form of a question to IT’S TWOSDAY $800, especially compared to how he responded the remaining 20 times he responded. Alex was absolutely correct to rule against him. Regarding the fact that one red bar was still remaining on Matt’s timer when Alex ruled, the show often will compress silence in post-production in order to ensure the viewers at home get to hear as as many clues as possible.
- A similar silence compression appeared to happen on Rachel’s missed Daily Double.
- Effective in first on buzzer stats: Dana 40.38% (21/52), Matt 30.77% (16/52), Rachel 28.85% (15/52).

He seemed to mumble something before giving his answer. The judges must have taken a few listens to be sure that he had not included proper phrasing.
On a related note, anecdotally, it seems like score corrections at DDs and at the end of the round have become less frequent of late. Does anyone know if the show has changed its procedure for verifying responses when a question of their validity arises?
I think your Q on 2/19 regarding Forever 21 might have been wrong on 1 fact. The answer will still be the same. Did you say two brothers came from Korea or did you say a man and a wife.
My question?
