What a surprise; this didn’t publish 24 hours ago like it was supposed to. *sigh* Blogger, when are you going to fix this?! It’s been happening the entire time I’ve been blogging with you, almost a year, and it’s seriously messing me up.
Fred Cofone
Today’s (YESTERDAY’S!) contestants:
Marty Christy
In case you missed yesterday’s episode, Fred upset Molly Rosenbusch because she wagered all of her 16000 on the final. Completely unnecessary, as she had a commanding lead. Fred won with 3200. My Coryat score was 13800. Molly‘s was 15800, Fred’s was 11200, and Mike Huijon’s was 3200. (By the way, I hope I did not spoil the show for anyone by publishing comments before the show had aired everywhere. I won’t do that again.)
Fred, then, had a lot to prove today. The game started very rough for me, especially in Up on Mount Rushmore, something that shouldn’t have been all that tricky. I guessed and missed on three of those clues, and didn’t answer on two of them. And I had been excited about the categories!
Both the first and second rounds featured four Bible clues (in Genesis Quote Fill-In and Down in the “Valley”) that stumped me and the contestants. (They were tricky!):
“They sewed ___ ______ together, and made themselves aprons.”* (I did get that one right.)
“There were ______ in the earth in those days.”*
“And God set them in the _________ of the heaven to give light upon the earth.”*
“In the King James Bible, the Book of Psalms says, ‘Yea, though I walk through’ this, ‘I will fear no evil.'”*
At the first break, Fred had 200, Mai had 3800, and Marty had 400. Fred found the Daily Double in the round with two clues remaining (but it wound up being the last clue). He had swept Unusual Country Music Lyrics, which helped him have 4400 when he found the Daily Double. Mai still had 3800, and Marty had 0. The category was British Novelists, which I was sweeping to that point. Fred wagered 800 on this clue: “Her only published work under her real name, Mary Ann Evans, was a translation of ‘Essence of Christianity.'”* I didn’t know it, but Fred got it right.
Fred found the next Daily Double, too, in Down in the “Valley.” He had 5600, Mai had 4200, and Marty had -800. Fred wagered 1200 on this clue: “Where Tut rested undisturbed until 1922.”* Fred left out an article, but they counted it right.
Lo and behold, Fred found the last Daily Double, too, in Our Watery World. He had a huge lead with 16400, while Mai had 2600 and Marty had -400. Fred wagered 2000 on this clue: “This large Central American lake that shares its name with a country has some of the world’s few freshwater sharks.”* He got it right.
Mai, then, went on a tear and, with 10600, wound up with exactly half of Fred’s 21200. Marty finished Double Jeopardy with -400. The Final Jeopardy category was Word History. This was the clue: “Since the 1600s, this 8-letter word has meant men of letters; a punning form of it refers to celebrities.”* This stumped the contestants, but I am proud to say that it was an “insta-get” for me. Mai did what she had to do and wagered everything, and Fred did what he had to do and wagered nothing. Fred, therefore, proved he belongs on the Jeopardy! stage. (At least for now.) My Coryat score was a pitiful 12600. I believe that’s a new low for me. Fred‘s Coryat score was 20400, Mai’s was 10600, and Marty’s was -400.
