J! round categories:
WORD PUZZLES
1970s NO. 1 HITS
DESCRIBING THE ANIMAL

CHIPPING IN
LET’S PLAY SOME GULF
All 3 players had good luck on the buzzer over the first 15 clues! Scores at the first break:
Sarah $3,800 (6 right)
Blake $1,800 (3 right)
Jon $600 (4 right, 1 wrong)
I found myself glossing over the interviews today; nothing I could really take from them that I found too interesting!
CHIPPING IN $800 had the first Daily Double, and it was Sarah’s to play! Scores:
Sarah $4,400
Blake $2,200
Jon $1,400
Sarah bet $2,000. Her clue: Punning on a newsreel name, this charity that helped defeat polio made its first appeal in 1938. Had no idea as to the pun, but I did know the charity! Sarah got the correct response to move to $6,400. My father was happy to explain the pun afterwards.
Scores at the end of 30:
Sarah $8,800 (12 right)
Blake $3,400 (6 right, 1 wrong)
Jon $2,400 (7 right, 2 wrong)

Sarah $15,600
Blake $3,800
Jon $2,400
Sarah bet $2,600. Her clue: “Why are you here then?” “Because I bloody well stammer!”. A correct response put her at $18,200.
LOU GEHRIG $1200 had the final Daily Double, this one was Jon’s, and he needed to make a big move! Scores:
Sarah $18,200
Jon $5,600
Blake $1,800
Alex’s comments led to our first Tweet Of The Night:
“you trail sarah by… a lot”#jeopardy#trebekisadouche— caitlin parrett (@caitlinparrett)January 21, 2014
(Which reminds me of a link my friend KC shared with me the other day: Mean Alex Trebek)
Jon bet $4,000. Clue: A photographic plate taken at the Lowell Observatory on January 23, 1930 helped identify this object. A correct response from Jon put him at $9,600!
The remaining clues saw Sarah and Jon battle to see if Sarah could keep a lock game, and she cemented it on her final clue! If only Jon had bet more on that Daily Double…
And our second Tweet of the Night:
People can shut up about Sarah’s FJ wagering strategy. Non-issue when you can’t be caught.#jeopardy— Cecilia Grant (@Cecilia_Grant)January 21, 2014
Scores going into Final:
Sarah $22,200 (11 right, 1 wrong)
Jon $10,000 (6 right)
Blake $5,000 (5 right, 3 wrong)
FJ! category: GOVERNMENT SITES
FJ! clue: Begun as part of a 1930s project to reclaim Maryland mountain land, it’s officially “Naval Support Facility Thurmont”
Blake 5000 – 5000 = 0
Jon 10000 – 1620 = 8380
Sarah 22200 – 2001 = 20199
I got that Final instantly; I’m surprised that it was a Triple Stumper!
