Andy here before Jeanie’s recap:

Yes, Matt Jackson bet $5 yesterday. Not $5,000. A couple of things I want to share:

1) In yesterday’s comment section, Elicia from tomorrow’s game provided some excellent from-the-audience insight on what happened.

2) Matt explained the following on his on Facebook fan page:

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

A note to resolve some apparent confusion: I intended to wager five dollars (one Abe Lincoln) on my second Daily Double…Posted byMatt Jackson JeopardyonWednesday, October 7, 2015

Back to Jeanie.


This has been one of those days where 4:30 couldn’t come quickly enough.

Today’s contestants:

Sameer Rawal, an internal medicine resident from Toronto, ON, Canada

Erik Latshaw, a cellar hand from Los Angeles, CA

Matt Jackson, a paralegal from Washington, DC(9-day champ, $249,411)

I found Erik on Twitter but he didn’t say anything after this:

@vamosdavidyes ma’am. How are you able to know that?!?— Erik Latshaw (@eriklatshaw)October 5, 2015

I had to laugh with delight when Matt got his first Daily Double right.
Aren’t there two Saarinens? Is this today’s controversy?

Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Matt 42400
Erik 12800
Sameer 3200

I loved Sameer’s reaction when Trebek said Matt’s score! What a good sport.

Final Jeopardy category: The European Union

Final Jeopardy clue: “Since Bulgaria joined in 2007, the E.U.’s 3 official alphabets have been our Latin one & these 2.”

Sameer 3200 – 416
Erik 12800 + 6300
Matt 42400 – 2400 (winner; duh)

Trebek says he feared Matt wouldn’t lose much?
My Coryat today was 20000 again.
