I posted two recaps today; here’s the recap of last week’s Sports Jeopardy!

Now, the recap of this one!

Today’s contestants:

Tom McGraw, a manager of camp programs from Cleveland, OH

Mike Gomes, a mental health therapist from New Bedford, MA

mike_gomes_2_ad_01-13-16_sn_1069

Vinny Varadarajan, an engineering graduate from Fords, NJ (11-day total: $55,000)

vinny_varadaraja3_ad_01-13-16_sn_1069

Adam Silver delivered a clue in this game. He reads slower than Bob Woodward!

For the second game running, Vinny didn’t hold the lead at the first break, but held it convincingly at the end! I think Ben Wiles’ theory of “interview advantage” runs pretty true!

Vinny didn’t see a Daily Double; unfortunately for his challenger Mike, he only went 1-for-3 on them!

Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Vinny 17,500
Mike 1,500
Tom -$3,250

Final Jeopardy! category: THE 1970s

Final Jeopardy! clue: This city of about 400,000 people is the only one to win a Super Bowl, World Series & NBA Finals in the 1970s

What is Oakland?

Mike 1500 – 1500 = 0(New York) Vinny 17500 + 3 = 17503 (12-day total, $60,000)
