I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only person who’s shocked that there have been so many five-time-plus champions since the last Tournament of Champions!
In any case, it’s Andy here starting off another week of recaps at TJ!F.
This week’s players:
Elissa Burr – Annandale, NJ (WABC)
Julia Collins – Kenilworth, IL (WLS)
Michelle Flaherty – Natrona Heights, PA (WPXI)
Mallory Howe – Brea, CA (KABC)
Bob Kochersberger – Raleigh, NC (WTVD)

Today’s contestants:
Sarah’s Hometown Howdy failed to make a Rob Ford joke. I’m disappointed.
J! round categories:
WHAT “ITIS” IS IT?
TENNIS TIPS
GETTING POSSESSIVE
2-LETTER SCRABBLE WORDS
APPROXIMATE WEIGHTS & MEASURES
REIGN
Sarah did very well in “Scrabble Words”, though. I’m slightly less disappointed.
However, both of our challengers did very well over the first segment. Our 5-time defending champion was in third place! Scores were:
Sarah $2,800
Bob $2,000
Julia $1,400
Sarah’s husband is a home brewer; when they found out that Sarah was going to be on Jeopardy, he made a Belgian beer, and called it the Daily Dubbel!
Julia fell asleep in the middle of her SATs!
REIGN $1000 had the Daily Double. Of course it was a video (Harumph.) Julia’s to play, the scores were:
Sarah $3,400
Bob $2,000
Julia $2,000
Julia bet $1,500. Her clue, presented by Torrance Coombs: Even though my character, Bash, has feelings for Mary, she is betrothed by my brother, who boasts this French title as Henry II’s eldest son & heir apparent. Her correct response puts her at $3,500!
Bob did well in TENNIS to take the lead at the end of the round! Scores after 30:
Bob $5,000
Julia $4,700
Sarah $4,000
DJ! round categories:
GERMAN CITIES
FASHION HISTORY
STARTS WITH DOUBLE O
THE COLE PORTER SONGBOOK
A PIG
A POLK
Both Bob and Julia had some negs keeping her score down in the early part of this round!
Over half of the round went by before we saw a Daily Double! GERMAN CITIES $1200 had it! Julia’s to play, the scores were:
Julia $11,500
Sarah $7,200
Bob $4,600
Julia bet $1,500. Her clue: The Farina Fragrance Museum in this city has on exhibit perfume bottles dating from antiquity. Her correct response put her at $13,000!
A POLK had the final Daily Double. It went to Bob at $1600! Scores:
Julia $16,600
Sarah $10,800
Bob $6,600
Bob bet $3,000. His clue: In his 1845 inaugural address, Polk mentioned annexing this republic & “her desire to come into our union”. Bob went north, to Canada, and fell to $3,600.
Scores going into FINAL:
Julia $19,000
Sarah $10,800
Bob $4,400
FJ! category: NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHORS
FJ! clue: Due to injuries suffered in 2 plane crashes in Africa, he was unable to accept his 1954 Nobel Prize in person
Bob 4400 – 2400 = 2000
Sarah 10800 + 9000 = 19800
Julia 19000 + 3000 = 22000 (6-day champion, $124,810)
