You guys, don’t forget that the 90s piece of the Battle of the Decades tournament airs next week. I saw it in person, so come back here for the scoop.
Today Mr. Trebek said at the top of the show that Arthur Chu is number 3 in cash winnings from regular games. It reminded me of this tweet I’d seen earlier:
I thought it’d take a little longer, but I’m ok being dropped to #4 on the@Jeopardylist by a player as good as@arthur_affect. Congrats!— Tom Nissley (@TomNissley)February 28, 2014
I found it amusing that Mr. Trebek said one of the two with more winnings had won 19 games, and the other “of course” is Ken Jennings. As if we don’t know who the former is.
Dawn Volmert
Arthur
Semret Lemma
Surprising triple-stumper here in The Cookie Aisle: “This shortbread cookie has a literary heritage – it’s named for a 19th century novel heroine.” I’m almost sure I swept the category.
Arthur found the Daily Double of the round in States by Counties.
Arthur 1800 (4 right and one wrong)
Semret 2400 (3 right)
Dawn! 1400 (3 right and one wrong)
Arthur can’t wager 5000 this time. He did wager it all on this: “Nez Perce, Lincoln, Gem.” He got it right. At the first break:
Arthur 3000 (One wrong)
Semret 3000 (One right)
Dawn! 1600 (One right and one wrong)
WHOA WHOA WHOA they showed Arthur’s wife during his interview! I’ve gotta get a pic:
Another reminder of Nissley, who supported his wife’s dream too with his winnings. In Arthur’s case, his wife is writing a fantasy novel.
Next surprising triple-stumper, in States by Counties: “Petroleum, Lincoln, Big Horn.” Every clue had a “Lincoln” in it, but none of the correct responses was Nebraska! We do have a Lincoln county just a stone’s throw from me.
At the end of the round:
Arthur 7200 (9 right)
Semret 2200
Dawn! 3000 (5 right)
If Semret didn’t sweep Who Sang It First?, he came close. Soon he rebounded on an Arthur neg. Then it was Arthur’s turn to get a whole bunch right, before Semret found the first Daily Double in Photography.
Arthur 10800 (5 right and 3 wrong)
Semret 10200 (7 right)
Dawn! 6200 (2 right)
Semret wagered just 1200 (?!) on this clue: “In 1929 this 2-word phrase was coined for Erich Salomon’s spontaneous photo technique, later used by Allen Funt.” They must’ve expected Arthur to find this one, because it was easy. Semret got it wrong though!
Arthur found the next Daily Double in Rip Van Winkle. I was scared for his opponents.
Arthur 11600 (One right)
Semret 9400 (One right)
Dawn! 6200
Arthur wagered 8000 on this clue: “The strange men playing 9-pins were said to be this British captain & his crew, who would visit the area every 20 years.” Arthur got it!
At the end of the round:
Arthur 22400 (3 right and one wrong)
Semret 11400 (3 right)
Dawn! 7400 (One right)
The Final Jeopardy category was Modern Day Suffixes. What?? Even Mr. Trebek had to turn to read it from the monitor after the commercial break. This is the clue: “Dating from 1973, this 4-letter suffix indicates a person or thing that has become associated with public scandal.” For real? Come on, Jeopardy! Dawn got it right and added 4001. Semret got it and added 10600. Arthur got it and added just 400. He’d have tied Semret if he’d been wrong!

I didn’t track my Coryat again today. My Internet connection’s been slow with this hotspot, and I’m hoping to go somewhere tonight. Turns out it was fast, but oh well.
