I told this reader I’d post a video of this clue, so here it is:
Yesterday, Rani Peffer won for the first time.
Kellie Herson
Rani Peffer
Evan Voorn
Evan found the Daily Double of the round in It’s a Federal Holiday after the girls negged on the previous clue.
Rani -800 (One wrong)
Kellie -400 (One right and one wrong)
Evan 800 (2 right)
Evan wagered 1000 on this clue: “The first presidential proclamation of this day mentions ‘the favorable interpositions of’ God’s providence.” I got this one but Evan took almost the whole time before saying “Easter.” I said what he did though on this one in In the World Capital: “Plaza de Garibaldi, near the Avenida Juarez.” All three contestants wound up negging on it.
At the first break:
Rani -1400 (One wrong)
Kellie 800 (3 right and one wrong)
Evan 1000 (4 right and one wrong)
Rani cracked up Mr. Trebek and the audience when she said this about her future husband, who’d been her accounting professor: “When I talked to him…he was so much like myself, it was like looking in a mirror. And I couldn’t resist the idea of spending the rest of my life with myself.”
Like Evan, I said “horse tail” on this one in Beastly Words & Phrases: “Long wispy cirrus clouds are sometimes referred to by this name, from their resemblance to a certain equine body part.”
We were negged but it was reversed before the Double Jeopardy round started.
I got this triple-stumper in Mystery Folks: “‘Immortal Beloved’ is the only I.D. we have on the woman whom this 19th C. composer called ‘my angel…my all, my very self.'”
At the end of the round (and there were two clues left covered in New York Times Food:
Rani 1600
Kellie 2600
Evan 2800 (This is after the horse neg above was reversed.)
Rani found the first Daily Double of Double Jeopardy, in Colleges & Universities. “You guys are rolling now; that’s good!” said Mr. Trebek.
Rani 8000 (6 right)
Kellie 4200 (2 right)
Evan 7200 (4 right and one wrong)
Rani wagered 2000 on this clue: “Truman the Tiger has been this school’s mascot since 1984.” Rani didn’t get it but I did.
Kellie found the next Daily Double, in Lit-tree-ture.
Rani 6000
Kellie 5400 (One right)
Evan 8400 (Two right and one wrong)
Kellie wagered 2000 too on this clue that I thought was hard: “This self-described ‘fool’ wrote, ‘A tree that looks at God all day/and lifts her leafy arms to pray.'” I understood once Mr. Trebek revealed the correct response, but Kellie looked like she still didn’t.
I said what Evan did on this one in Plymouth Colony, and was shocked when it was negged: “This chief of the Wampanoag indians signed a peace treaty with the pilgrims & became a loyal friend.” It was a triple-stumper. I got this triple-stumper in Medical Talk: “A little bird told us smoking or dentures can cause this most common fungal infection of the mouth & throat.” Kellie said “gingivitis.” Unfortunately two clues in the category were left covered. Mr. Trebek said to Kellie, “Hey, way to go, you’ve moved up handsomely there.”
Rani 9600 (3 right)
Kellie 6600 (3 right and one wrong)
Evan 7200 (3 right and 2 wrong)
The Final Jeopardy category today was On the Globe. This was the clue: “Of the 5 named circles of latitude on a standard Earth globe, it’s the one with the longest name.” I’m amazed I got this right because I cannot name all 5 named circles of latitude. (Can you?) It was a triple-get, though. Kellie doubled her score. Evan did too. Rani wagered enough to beat Evan by a dollar, making her a two-day champ now.
My Coryat today was 25800 (28600 without negs).
