Yesterday, Ryan Alley and Allison Solomon tied for the win. Ryan’s coming to our Hangout next week, as are Michael Wille, Jenica Jessen and Matthew LaMagna. I’ve reached out to others and won’t be surprised if there’s more.
Ryan
Tyler Johnson
Allison
As you can see in his picture, Tyler is a blogger from Buffalo. How funny; I just had a New York governor debate on TV, and it was taking place in Buffalo! I have a feeling I’ll be watching a lot of that this weekend. I wish I knew what Tyler blogs about. He seems cool, and I like that he went to TV Shows by Boss when he could.
Didn’t Trebek almost sound like he was trying to make excuses for the tie yesterday? (No, not the one he was wearing.) He also seemed annoyed, of course, when Allison found the Daily Double after we’d only seen one clue. She had 200 and wagered 1000. Here’s the clue, read by Sarah, in the category Meet Your Ancestors: “The census bureau map codes U.S. counties by the residents’ most reported ancestry. Most counties in Nebraska are coded as this, the most common U.S. ancestry from central Europe.” I care more that I was right than Allison was! Mine was a guess, and “central Europe” made the difference.
Well I wanted to avoid having to take pictures but I have to for this triple-stumper I got, still in Meet Your Ancestors: “Most residents in the purple counties identified as this two-word term, the most common ancestry in the deep South.”
I had said “African” in response to this clue immediately preceding that one: “People in the beige counties tended to identify simply as this, a phenomenon called the ‘unhyphenating’ of the country.” I took the picture but it wouldn’t upload promptly, and I think you can use the same one as above. Allison had said “Scotch-Irish,” and then Ryan said “Scotch-Irish” on the “purple counties” clue! (Still with me?)
At the first break:
Ryan 2200 (6 right and one wrong)
Allison 600 (One wrong)
Tyler 400 (One right)
I like that Ryan talked about detasseling!
I wish I’d rung in on this triple-stumper in Only One: “Is a county in England: Warwickshire, Oxenshire, Middleshire.” I got mixed up for a second thinking they wanted the one that wasn’t a county.
Didn’t Trebek seem surprised Tyler knew this one in TV Shows by Boss?: “Lou Grant of WJM-TV.” That was the easiest one! This is the only one I didn’t know: “Leslie Knope’s superior Ron Swanson.”
I wish I’d rung in on this one too, in World Holidays & Observances: “Monaco’s National Day is November 19, the date in 1949 of his formal accession to the throne.” And it was a triple-stumper.
There were 5 clues left when Trebek gave the less-than-a-minute warning. One was left behind.
Ryan 5000 (6 right and one wrong)
Allison 2800 (4 right)
Tyler 3000 (5 right and one wrong)
At first I counted my response to this one in “O” Canada right, but then I remembered the “Wimbleton” fiasco: “Born in Ceylon, this bestselling author of ‘The English Patient’ emigrated to Montreal in the 1960s.” I made a “t” sound where I should’ve made a “d” sound. This was a triple-stumper.
I wondered why Trebek didn’t rerecord this clue in Words about Words, since he said “ancient” instead of “accent”: “The accent aigu in lame is this type of mark added to a letter to change its pronunciation.” Turns out it’s because Ryan’s and Allison’s subsequent negs on it were overturned. And by the way, does Ryan know what “diuresis” is?? Ryan found the Daily Double in the category.
Ryan 10600 (6 right)
Allison 4400 (2 right)
Tyler 5000 (2 right and one wrong)
Ryan wagered just 1400 on this clue: “Swatch, formed from ‘Swiss’ & ‘watch,’ is this French-named type of word formed from parts of other words.” I couldn’t pull it out in time, but Ryan did.
I wish I’d rung in on this one in Creature Features: “1950: ‘Francis the Talking ____.'” Tyler almost looked surprised that he had it right.
Ryan looked like he was afraid a clue he selected would be the Daily Double. I was thinking we’d already seen them both, but we hadn’t. I was sad when Tyler negged on this triple-stumper in A Doll’s House: “The Hopi & Zuni are 2 of the many Pueblo tribes that make these ancestral spirit dolls.” It took him to less than half of Ryan’s score.
Like last round, Trebek gave the less-than-a-minute warning with 5 clues left. But we got to them all, and the last clue was the other Daily Double.
Ryan 18000 (6 right and one wrong)
Allison 6800 (4 right and one wrong)
Tyler 8200 (4 right and one wrong)
It was Allison’s. My impulse would be to bet all but a dollar. She bet just 3000 on this clue: “In doll collecting, M.I.B. isn’t ‘Men in Black’ but this desirable condition.” We both came close but were wrong.
The Final Jeopardy category was Inventions. For a patent attorney?! This was the clue: “This machine was invented in 1929; the govt. began buying them to help prevent any more in a series of army air corps fatalities.” I spent this 30 seconds trying to come up with a title to this post, but now that I’ve heard the correct response I think this was a sucky clue. Allison was wrong and lost 1800. Tyler was wrong and lost 500. Ryan was wrong and lost 1000. But he makes the ToC list.
Catherine Hardee $95,201 (4 wins)
Alexander Persaud $61,000 (3 wins)
Ryan Alley $56,800 (3 wins)
Bill Cossen $50,602 (3 wins)
Shane Curtis $42,001 (3 wins)
My Coryat was 23200 (25800 without negs).
