Hello! Andy here with a recap from Monday’s game!

Today’s contestants:


Will Sandie win her fourth?

Alex took the time to wish his mother a happy 93rd birthday!

J! round categories:
CROQUET, MONSIEUR
GOOD LUCK CHARMS
6-LETTER BIBLE BOOKS
CLICHÉS
WARM
& FUZZY

THERE IS A#CROQUETCATEGORY ON#JEOPARDY!— Ben Ingram (@julysixteenth)April 14, 2014

All three of our contestants today got off to a good start; Sandie found the first Daily Double at 6-LETTER BIBLE BOOKS $600! Scores:

Sandie $3,600
Devin $1,800
Chrissy $1,200

Sandie bet $1,000. Her clue: This epistle says, “A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law”. Her correct response put her at $4,600!

Sandie also got the $1,000 clue before the first break! Scores after 15:

Sandie $5,600
Chrissy $1,200
Devin $1,000

Part of me wants to start a count of engagement interview stories next season! Chrissy adds to this season’s count; her fiancé didn’t have to buy a ring!

Sandie gave “The Red Queen” as opposed to “The Queen of Hearts” on one clue — it’s a popular misconception to conflate the two of them!

Scores after 30:
Sandie $6,600
Devin $4,600
Chrissy $3,200

DJ! round categories:
BORN 100 YEARS AGO
FRUIT IN THE WORD
FOR YOUR REFERENCE
KINGS OF MUSIC
BIG 5
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES

FRUIT IN THE WORD seemed to mystify our contestants! There were originally three Triple Stumpers in the round! That three became two when they chose to accept a neg that Devin had given!

Sandie had most of the buzzes early on in this round. BORN 100 YEARS AGO $1600 (surprise surprise!) had the first of our Daily Doubles. Sandie’s to play, with scores:

Sandie $14,600
Devin $6,200
Chrissy $2,800

Sandie bet $3,000. Her clue: Born in Swansea, Wales, he went somewhat gentle into that good night in 1953. Her correct response put her at $17,600!

The final Daily Double came three clues from the end, under SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES $1200. There were a $1,600 and $2,000 clue left on the board! Scores:

Sandie $24,800
Devin $9,800
Chrissy $4,400

I’d bet $2,100 here, as that guarantees a lock game, even if Devin gets the final two clues. Sandie chose $2,000. Her clue: This protective layer of the stratosphere was discovered by Charles Fabry in 1913. Another correct response put her at $26,800 as the end-of-round signal left both of those $1,600 and $2,000 clues on the board!

Scores going into Final:
Sandie $26,800
Devin $9,800
Chrissy $4,400

Haven’t been live tweeting@Jeopardybut I am officially scared of this Sandie woman— Arthur Chu (@arthur_affect)April 14, 2014

FJ! category: SIGNS & SYMBOLS

FJ! clue: Meant to evoke a person with arms outstretched & pointed downward, it was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom

Chrissy 4400 – 4400 = 0
Devin 9800 – 1000 = 8800
Sandie 26800 – 200 = 26600

This was a rare Final where absolutely none of our three players offered any response whatsoever to Final!

Sandie moves up the ToC list slightly!
