Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Week number 11 of Season 41 of Jeopardy begins today with Paul Clauson returning as champion. We’re also 15 episodes away from the Tournament of Champions cutoff—and I suspect that we’ve still got a couple of spots left to be claimed in the field! Michigan’s Paul Clauson returns as your defending champion after a runaway victory in Friday’s game; today, he hopes to get win number two by defeating Ohio’s Amy Fleenor and Massachusetts’s Jonelle Lonergan.

More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Carrie Nation was a turn-of-the-century temperance advocate who became famous for using a hatchet to demolish bars. Her first destroyed bar, though, was Dobson’s Saloon in Kiowa, Kansas on July 7, 1900—two days after she claimed to receive a voice from God. Originally using rocks, her husband at the time suggested Carrie use a hatchet to increase the damage—and the famed hatcheting began. She became so famous that many bars of the era took up the slogan “All Nations Welcome But Carrie.”

Got the first name right away, but could not come up with the last name within 30 seconds.
I’m surprised that more people didn’t remember Carrie Nation, but I guess that there was nothing in the clue to suggest that “den of vice” referred to a bar. It was the first thing that came to mind for me.
Right with you there! [It is not uncommon for me to immediately realize who the clue refers to but not be able to think of their whole name, or even more often their actual name at all, but this time it came to me in like 2 seconds.]
I think I might’ve gotten the first Final Jeopardy of the week-if I hadn’tbeen distracted when the clue was revealed. ButI was, so 0-1.
The Baltimore Fox affiliate flipped Family Feud and Jeopardy! on their schedule, at least for today. Turned to the channel just before 7pm Eastern and caught the end of Jeopardy’s credits. My DVR and the station’s web site both show the regular FF at 6:30 and J! at 7 for both today and tomorrow. I know who won the game, but can catch the DC ABC affiliate’s showing at 7:30 for the clues.
Who would break up a den of vice in the early 1900’s, why, Carrie Nation, of course. Fairly easy for old-timers.
Was that a little mistake that Ken made at the end of Final Jeopardy, telling Jonelle that Carrie is spelled with a “y” instead of “ie”?
Not really a mistake on Ken’s part, Myron, he was just going by her official name. According to historians, in 1903, she officially changed her name to “Carry,” saying it meant to “Carry A Nation for Prohibition.” There’s no way they could have not accepted the alternate spelling of “Carrie” as that was her name before she changed it. Ken was going by what she officially changed it to but the former name was okay, too.
p.s. Her actual name was Caroline Amelia Nation, so neither Carrie or Carry but she chose Carry.
At the point where there were four clues left, the only way Paul could’ve lost the lock game is if both the $1600 and $2000 clues were played. Staying on the top row seems to have been the tactically correct play there.
I concur – if he was running out the clock as he was doing, best to leave the high value clues unplayed.
But the unplayed clues were both in the top row for $400. All of the highest value clues were played anyway. Not that it made any difference in the long run as he had a runaway despite the high value clues being played.
Didn’t know it. 0 for 1 on the week and 6 for 51 on the season.
Retro congrats to our 2 game winner!
