Finally, the Andy Awards nominations are open until January 17 – what are your favorites from 2015?
Today’s contestants:
Adam Hoskins, an attorney from Columbia, MO
Ava Hadaway, a chemistry tutor from Hayward, CA
Steve Belding, an engineer from Knoxville, TN (3 day total: $58,801)
Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Adam $14,600
Steve $9,400
Ava $9,000
Final Jeopardy! category: SOCIOLOGY
Final Jeopardy! clue: Often applied to athletes, this 2-word term popularized by Robert K. Merton refers to an example we aspire to
What is a role model?
Ava 9000 + 9000 = 18000
Steve 9400 + 8601 = 18001
Adam 14600 + 4201 = 18801
This was a classic Final Jeopardy, in the sense that I think this clue would have played very well in any season of the show. To be honest, I miss these Finals sometimes.
And this tweet from Tom Kelso sums tonight up perfectly:
