No, you’re not missing anything. We are. We’ve skipped yesterday’s episode, which is kinda too bad because I had stuff I planned to say in a comment. But not enough so that I’d do episodes in one post. Naturally Julia won it. My Coryat was 28000 (31000 without negs). My Coryat for the weekend rerun, by the way, was 31400 (no negs). The episode originally aired 1-17-13, and the first time I played my Coryat was 26200 (31600 without negs). I did not track my Coryat today. I was racing through this so I could watch a debate live at 7. And I made it with time to spare! Tomorrow I’m going to a “Young Professionals reception” for a local elected official, which is an excellent excuse for a delayed recap here.
Michelle Flaherty
Julia Collins
Marlon Morris
Mr. Trebek said today that Julia has now won more episodes than any other woman.
At the first break:
Julia 2000 (5 right)
Marlon -1000 (One wrong)
Michelle 2800 (6 right)
Marlon’s anecdote was a long one but worth it: He described an “incredible vision” approaching, and “she got more and more pretty as she got closer.” He was in line to buy things but abandoned them to go ask her out. The story ended with Marlon waving his wedding ring. Aww!! Don’t you wish you looked that good every day? I wonder if she was in the studio audience.
I got this triple-stumper in Scrambled Mammals: “What’s gnu? Edible stew.” I’d have gotten the Daily Double, because it was the next clue. Michelle found it in Multiple Meanings. The less-than-a-minute warning had already been given.
Julia 2600 (3 right and one wrong)
Marlon -1800 (One right and one wrong)
Michelle 6000 (5 right)
Michelle wagered 2000 on this clue: “A long-billed game bird, or to shoot at something from a hidden position.” She and I got it, and it was the last clue of the round.
I got this triple-stumper in Authors’ Fictional Places: “Brobdingnag.”
Julia found the first Daily Double of the round in 19th Century France.
Julia 6600 (4 right)
Marlon -2600 (One wrong)
Michelle 6400 (One wrong)
Julia wagered 1500 on this clue: “In June 1830 French troops seized this north African capital from the Ottomans & Berbers.” She got it right. She found the next Daily Double in Authors’ Fictional Places.
Julia 10100 (3 right and one wrong)
Marlon -600 (One right)
Michelle 12400 (6 right and one wrong)
She wagered 3500 on this clue: “The city of Casterbridge.” She got it right.
Like in the Jeopardy round, 6 clues were on the board when Mr. Trebek gave the less-than-a-minute warning. We didn’t get to see them all.
Julia 16400 (2 right and one wrong)
Marlon 2200 (4 right and one wrong)
Michelle 14000 (2 right)
The Final Jeopardy category was U.S. States. This is the clue: “Other than Q, these 2 letters appear the least in the names of states, each appearing only once.” Marlon was wrong but didn’t lose any money. Michelle was wrong too and lost 9599. Did Julia get it? Yes! She added 11700, making Mr. Trebek go “Oh my gosh!” So we’ll see her again tomorrow.
