Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century British Authors) for Friday, December 10, 2021 (Season 38, Game 65):
She called herself “the daughter of two persons of distinguished literary celebrity” in an introduction to one of her novels
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Deborah Steinberger, an associate professor of French literature at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware
Alisa Hove, a botany professor at Warren Wilson University in Asheville, North Carolina
J.P. Allen, a professor of business and innovation at the University of San Francisco
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Today is the final quarterfinal; six players have already qualified, the four other winners and two wild cards. The last three spots will be determined today. Of course, none of these players know that $4,000 and $3,800 are holding down spots #3 and #4 right now—they’ve been sequestered and haven’t seen the first four matches.
One other note that’s been brought up a couple of times thus far: In what is a new development for this Jeopardy! tournament, while the players are still assigned their lecterns in alphabetical order by last name, they have drawn lots to determine who selects the first clue of the game. It’s confused some of the viewers, but it does makes sense from a fairness perspective.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

“It is not singular that, as the daughter of two persons of distinguished literary celebrity, I should very early in life have thought of writing.” leads off the second paragraph of the introduction to Mary Shelley’s famous work Frankenstein; she was the daughter of famed British writers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin; Wollstonecraft herself died 11 days after giving birth.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Once again, Mayim failed to tell a player that they could bet up to $1,000 on a Daily Double. This has a negative effect on gameplay, and could become a gameplay fairness issue.
