It just wouldn’t be Jeopardy! at my parents’ without technological (or human) failure of some kind.
I watched today’s episode in the basement with a do-not-disturb sign (not my exact words!) on the door. My parents are welcome to watch with me, and I like it, but I don’t like it when someone walks in while the show is on or interrupts in some other way. My dad was out shopping and my mom thought my dad wouldn’t like the sign, so she watched upstairs.
I was pumped about today’s episode, mostly because I did really well. I flew upstairs afterward, where the show was recording…or so I thought. I was stunned to see the tape outside the VCR. My mom swore she didn’t touch anything. She wanted to talk about the end of today’s episode. It appeared that the tape ran out while the show was recording. When I checked, I had the first 15 minutes. I was gutted. I did not write any clues or details down as I watched, because I could not stop the show like on my DVR. I checked j-archive.com, which had yesterday’s program up already when that episode ended, but today’s is not there. *sob!* So I have few details for you, especially after the Jeopardy round. But that’s just the way it is. I’d hate to get the facts wrong, so I’m gonna be pretty vague.
Today’s contestants:
Jason Keller
Janemarie Cloutier
Drew Tomkins
I didn’t bring my little laptop stand home, so I thought I’d be sitting to play today. I noticed, though, that my mom’s treadmill would make a perfect lectern. It’s positioned right in front of the TV, and I could put my notes on top. I pulled the key out to be safe, but force of habit (and paranoia) had me straddling the belt anyway.
Jason had won 3 times coming into today’s episode, and he’s looked strong, for the most part. I had a very strong start myself. In fact I wondered whether I was going to sweep the entire board! I swept State Capital Fun Fest and Give ‘Em a “Hand”, as well as a category where years are given and a brief description of a TV show. I also swept 5 Degrees if “juris doctorate” is an acceptable response to this clue (and I kinda doubt it): “JD, from Duke Law (the Latin, please).” If my response is correct, this was the first clue I didn’t answer, in The Economy: “Enacted in 1917 for World War I bonds, the limit known as this has been raised by Congress many times, yet when reached in 2011, its need to be increased caused quite a stir.”
Jason found the first Daily Double four clues in, in State Capital Fun Fest. He had 800, Janemarie had 0, and Drew had 400. Jason wagered 1000 on this clue: “This city has been hosting its Golden North Salmon Derby since 1947, before it was officially a state capital.” Jason got it right.
I got this triple-stumper in The Economy: “From the Latin for ‘support,’ it’s a benefit given by the government to individuals in the form of cash or a tax reduction.”
At the end of the round, Jason had 8600, Drew had 1600, and Janemarie had 6000.
In the Double Jeopardy round, Mr. Trebek gave the 1-minute warning with 5 clues left in the round, and there was a Daily Double left, but Drew and Janemarie were so slow to select throughout the round! They left one clue left on the board but they did get to the second Daily Double, found by Janemarie. I do remember she had just taken the lead on the previous clue, and she was in the lead going into the final.
The Final Jeopardy category was The NFL. This clue was an instaget for me, although I wasn’t sure I hadn’t made it up until Jason’s correct response was revealed. They wanted you to name the team whose city and name begin with the same three letters. Janemarie and Drew, in a distant third, got it wrong. Jason is your new champ again.
My Coryat today was 24200, assuming “juris doctorate” is unacceptable.
This feels like the suckiest recap I’ve done, and it barely qualifies! On a positive note, I should have several recent Saturday reruns on the VCR in the basement, which I will watch tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow I may be later than usual posting about the new episode. It’s my mom’s birthday, and she wants to have dinner at 4 p.m. (Jeopardy!‘s on at 4:30.) I’ll record it, of course, but I make no guarantees.
