I have to admit one of the highlights of this week on Jeopardy! (and heck, overall!) was that a Jeopardy! game for the Wii has been created and is available now. I just got a Wii a few weeks ago, so I’ve been getting into browsing for games. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this until I saw a commercial for it after Final Jeopardy the other day. And I can’t believe I don’t own the game yet! I’m going to pick it up tomorrow morning, and I will be thrilled to fill you in on it soon. If anyone has played and wants to tell us about it, I would LOVE to hear from you.
My scores for Wednesday and Thursday:
Vito Cortese 21685 Anne McFadden 4000 Dave Ellis 7199 Me 4598
Jennifer Hill 1 Rony Josaphat 0 Vito Cortese 26800 Me 9998
Today’s contestants:
(from left to right; Vito Cortese, John Wen, Jeanne Breen) (Vito and John are both software engineers! )
Did you guys know this triple-stumper (and fist-pumper for me) in The “D”-List?: “AKA The Ten Commandments.”* And how was this a triple-stumper, in Colorful Quotes?: “Hamlet replies to Ophelia, ‘So long? Nay then let the devil wear’ this color, ‘for I’ll have a suit of sables.'”* I haven’t heard this quote, but you could use context clues, you know?
Vito found the Daily Double in the Jeopardy round, with 5 clues remaining and less than a minute to go. He was leading with 4600. John had 3000 and Jeanne was in the hole 400. Vito wagered 1200. The category was 2 of the 7, and this was the clue: “The Quirinal and the Aventine.”* (In other words, these are 2 of the 7 what?) He got it right! At the end of the round, with one clue left unseen, he had 6600, John had 3400, and Jeanne had 200. Did you guys catch Mr. Trebek revealing what the remaining clue was about! I haven’t seen him do that!
Speaking of Mr. Trebek, he had a more-striking-than-usual outfit on today:
By the time Vito found the first Daily Double in the Double Jeopardy round, he was handing John and Jeanne their butts, something he’s been doing to his opponents since he first came on the stage! He had 10200, John had 1400, and Jeanne had 1800. The category was New Jersey, and he wagered 2200 on this clue: “New Jersey’s smallest county in area, and most densely populated, it was named for an explorer and the river it borders.”*
How about this triple-stumper in It Happened November 5: “1757: This ‘great’ Prussian leader decisively defeats a combined Austrian and French army at Rossbach.”* The next clue, in the same category, was the other Daily Double, and John found it. He wisely wagered all of his 2200. Vito had 11600 and Jeanne had 3800. John got this one right: “1862: Lincoln orders this man out as commander of the Army of the Potomac.”*
The last clue of the round, though, pretty well summed up the week Vito has had: His opponents missed it, then he got it right. That had to feel good. It didn’t matter, though, because even if his nearest opponent John had gotten it right, the game was still a runaway. The category was National Geographic Great Migrations, and this was the clue (Pardon the scary photo!): “A female covers herself with secretions to prep for the migration of the bats called ‘flying’ these animals.”*
At the end of the round, then, Vito had 21600, John had 6400, and Jeanne had 1800. The Final Jeopardy category was Terms from the Bible. This was the clue: “In 2010 we heard of the fossil of a 12-million-year-old giant sperm whale given this Biblical name by its finders.”* John got it right, and added $42.00 (note the decimal point) to his score. Vito and Jeanne each got it wrong, but as mentioned, Vito had a lock on the game. He goes on vacay, now: Next week begins the College Championship (a new one, not a repeat). I’m told a University of Nebraska student is going to be in it! Go Big Red!
