So, in light of the Internet going gaga over Liz earlier this week, Kerry Greene suggested the following:
In light of everyone seemingly wanting@whatthefritz,@grnwazhas suggested I start a#Jeopardydating site. Good idea, or great idea?— The Jeopardy! Fan (@_thejeopardyfan)December 9, 2015
I thought it was amusing, but the idea seems to be gaining traction!
Onto the show. Today’s contestants:
Jon Lubbers, a mechanical engineer from Lafayette, CO
Bianca Howard, a waste reduction specialist from Cary, NC
Alex Maggio, a writer from Cincinnati, OH (1-day total: $15,100)
Quote of the day definitely went to Jon, when he decided that “What’s a dead hunchback”? was the best way of responding to this clue instead of “dead ringer”, under WORDS & PHRASES: An exact duplicate, not a deceased Quasimodo, it was a horse switched for another to defraud bookies
I didn’t find a problem with the clue, but others did:
Jon’s response of ‘dead hunchback’ made my day. Exactly what I would have said. Weirdly worded question.#jeopardy— Lizzie McFritz (@whatthefritz)December 9, 2015
Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Alex $19,600
Bianca $12,600
Jon $8,400
Final Jeopardy! category: DOG BREEDS
Final Jeopardy! clue: This small breed is named for a member of the 17th century House of Stuart
What is the King Charles Spaniel
Jon 8400 + 8399 = 16799
Bianca 12600 – 7001 = 5599 (Papillon)
Alex 19600 + 5601 = 25201
(A big fat nope for me today on Final. I went for the Jack Russell Terrier. This may have helped:)
