Andy here with another recap!
Today’s players:
J! round categories:
MYTHOLOGICAL WORDS & PHRASES
YOUNG MR. LINCOLN
MARKETING
SHEEP-POURI
IS THERE A TV DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?
“G”EOGRAPHY
I found the following clue amusing (MYTH $800): The name of this handsome youth loved by Aphrodite is now a synonym for any handsome young man. Mainly because the same thing showed up at my own pub quiz on Wednesday!
At the first break, the scores were:
Sarah $3,400
Stacy $2,000
Molly $800
Molly’s interview was rare in that it seemed to actually impress Trebek! I think it was because she mentioned enjoying the people and the pubs when travelling to Ireland!
Back to the game, the Daily Double came very late on, but it was Stacy’s to play, under YOUNG MR. LINCOLN $800! Scores:
Sarah $4,600
Stacy $3,200
Molly $1,800
Stacy went for the True Daily Double (Good!). His clue: On May 7, 1833 this President appointed 24-year-old Abe the new Postmaster of New Salem, Illinois. His answer was “Millard Fillmore” (Not so good.) and he fell to $0.
A surprising Triple Stumper on the way to to the turn (SHEEP-POURRI $800): One of the first recordings of a human voice is of Edison reading this rhyme in 1877
One clue went unplayed; scores after the J! round:
Sarah $4,400
Molly $2,800
Stacy $1,600
DJ! round categories:
PUTTING THE HAM IN HAMLET
THE “BUL” PULPIT
PSYCHOLOGY
THE STATE OF FILM TODAY
HYMNS
HERRS
I was hoping the Hamlet category was going to have celebrity readings! But it was Trebek reading like a ham. Boo. where the questions were asking which character spoke the lines! That made it really easy, and Molly picked up on that when she found the Daily Double, under the $1200 clue!
Scores:
Molly $4,800
Sarah $4,400
Stacy $1,200
Molly went for the True Daily Double! Her clue: “No, my good Lord, but as you did command I did repel his letters, and denied his access to me”. Her correct response doubled her score, up to $9,600!
Sarah did well in HYMNS and retook the lead at the bottom of it! The second Daily Double was under HERRS $1600. Sarah got to play it! Scores:
Sarah $14,400
Molly $10,800
Stacy $6,800
She bet $2,000. Her clue: This inventor whose name is still on tanks at fuel stations nearly died when an engine exploded on him in the 1890s. Sarah, surprisingly, had no answer, and her score fell to $12,400. I was shocked by the lack of even a guess on that clue.
It seemed to throw Sarah, as there was lots of forgetting the category on the way to the finish (giving non-states in titles of responses to THE STATE OF FILM TODAY).
Scores going into Final:
Molly $12,000
Sarah $11,200
Stacy $5,200
Keith pointed it out at his blog as well, but this is a betting scenario named “Faith Love”, after the contestant of the same name!. Rationally, Stacy should bet everything, Sarah exactly $800, and Molly $0! I think both Keith and I were excited to see it!
FJ! category: 19th CENTURY U.S. HISTORY
FJ! clue: A dignitary at the dedication of this said it was “keeping watch and ward before the open gates of America”
Stacy 5200 + 5200 = 10400
Sarah 11200 + 5000 = 16200
Molly 12000 + 11000 = 23000
(I thought this was an easy clue. Alex seemed to think so too.)
In spite of the disappointing choice of bets by our top two players, it means that Molly is our new champion, She’ll be back tomorrow!
