This must be European history week for Final Jeopardy. Three of the four Finals have been Europe based. The fourth, even though it was in the category “American Firsts” was based on the travels of a British ship. To me today’s clue is by far the toughest Final of the week, which you might expect for the finals. It would be great if they all get it.
A trivia fact about the movie is there were no speaking parts for women.
With scores like this today, tomorrow’s show is NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
That was my thought as well! The Coryat score speaks for itself. Maggie must be pretty impressive tonight.
If you’ve seen the movie, it starts with Lawrence crashing his motorcycle and being killed. If you’ve seen the movie its an easy Final J. But the movie, even though a top 10 of all time, is not all that popular and is way older than any of the Finalists….
As far as I remember Sharif shotts somebody a a water well because he did not ask for permission ( when T.E. asked him “why”). One of the most famous beginnings of a movie, as Sharif rides nearer and nearer and nearer…. boom!
“Sharif”?
Omar Sharif, the actor.
Amazing that Meggie is in the lead after going all in and missing from 7600, and then missing fj. All 3 of these players are TOC worthy.
Tough FJ as we got a triple stumper.
Meggie Kwai would make a terrific game show host!
I find it amazing that they all missed this easy Final. Lawrence of Arabia’s death in a 1935 motorcycle accident is a well-known fact. Besides this is not the first time that this clue has appeared in a Final.
The easiest final jeopardy clues are the ones that YOU know. kudos you knew it. I didn’t.
Do you have any idea why yesterday’s show (June 3) was rerun in the Denver market tonight instead of the June 4 semifinal? I’m so mad to have missed the competition between Will, Meggie and Ben!!
Contact your local station.
I’m angry too! I have no clue what happened here in the Denver area. So frustrating!
The fact that nobody got the Final aside, what a great game. Everybody is still in it. One thing the tough Final will probably do is ensure whoever ends up in third place tomorrow will not exceed the guaranteed $25K. I can’t remember the last time somebody won above the minimum in one of these two-week tournaments.
Few people know Churchill was obsessive about the use of the ampersand . . .
Who or what was this “Churchill”?
The Final Jeopardy to which I was referring aired of January 12, 2015. It read: ” Dr. Hugh Cairns, who tried but couldn’t save the life of this man in May 1935, became a pioneer in the use of motorcycle helmets.”
