Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category New York Times Book Reviews) for Monday, June 10, 2024 (Season 40, Game 196):
In 1958 a review of this book now considered a classic called it repulsive, disgusting & “highbrow pornography”
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Josh Fry, a software developer originally from Peachtree Corners, Georgia
Aaron Lemos, a high school video production teacher from Northridge, California
Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (8-day total: $183,100)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Adriana Harmeyer finished last week as an 8-time champion, going for victory number 9 today against Aaron Lemos and Josh Fry; Adriana is looking to become only the 7th 9-time champion in the Jeopardata Era.

Orville Prescott, August 18, 1958, using words that I see fit to repeat instead of attempting to paraphrase—I’m also not entirely sure why the show thought it necessary to include “now considered a classic” in the clue; I don’t think its status has changed particularly significantly since its publication:
“Lolita,” then, is undeniably news in the world of books. Unfortunately, it is bad news. There are two equally serious reasons why it isn’t worth any adult reader’s attention. The first is that it is dull, dull, dull in a pretentious, florid and archly fatuous fashion. The second is that it is repulsive.“Lolita” is not crudely crammed with Anglo-Saxon nouns and verbs and explicitly described scenes of sexual violence. Its depravity is more refined. Mr. Nabokov, whose English vocabulary would astound the editors of the Oxford Dictionary, does not write cheap pornography. He writes highbrow pornography. Perhaps that is not his intention. Perhaps he thinks of his book as a satirical comedy and as an exploration of abnormal psychology. Nevertheless, “Lolita” is disgusting.This is a first-person narrative written in prison by a middle-aged European intellectual and pervert called Humbert Humbert. A literary dilettante who had spent considerable time in various sanitariums, Humbert suffered from a mental illness that made him lust for young girls.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Monday, June 10, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Capitals & Their Airports; Bunny Lit; Well, That Happened; Time For Some Drugs; Duets With Dads; Find “Out”)
Adriana started Game #9 by immediately running BUNNY LIT; after that, both Josh and Aaron got onto the board. After 15 clues, Adriana had $3,800 to Josh’s $2,800 and Aaron’s $2,000.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Adriana 7 correct 1 incorrect
Josh 5 correct 0 incorrect
Aaron 3 correct 0 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Josh is “okay” in table tennis.
Aaron was a finger double on “My So-Called Life”.
Adriana read the encyclopedias at her grandparents’ house.
The second half of the round was peppered with incorrect responses, with our three players combining for 9 over these 15 clues; this included the Daily Double that dropped Josh back to $0. Adriana led after 30, but it was still a competitive game.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Adriana 9 correct 4 incorrect
Josh 9 correct 2 incorrect
Aaron 8 correct 4 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Adriana $3,000
Josh $1,600
Aaron $1,600
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Senate History; The Animal Kingdom; Monuments & Memorials; There’s Gold In Your Future; They Directed Themselves; Emotions)
Our players were a little bit spooked by the Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy; both Adriana and Josh bet just $1,500 apiece on them. This meant that Adriana held the lead going into Final by just $1,400.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Adriana 17 correct 6 incorrect
Josh 20 correct 3 incorrect
Aaron 12 correct 7 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 18 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
Adriana $12,100
Josh $10,700
Aaron $1,600
Adriana was the only player correct in Final, and that makes her a 9-day champion! She’ll play tomorrow in the hopes of getting to 10!
Tonight’s results:
Aaron $1,600 – $1,600 = $0 (What is Portnoy’s Complaint?)
Josh $10,700 – $1,401 = $9,299 (What is The Catcher in the Rye?)
Adriana $12,100 + $9,500 = $21,600 (What is Lolita?) (9-day total: $204,700)
Other Miscellaneous Game Statistics:

1) CAPITALS & THEIR AIRPORTS $800 (clue #16)
