I was 2/3 on DD and missed FJ. I was thinking and thinking, and knew I knew the word, but, when my mind went to the file location, my mind got a 404 error!
For the third DD, I wonder if they would give it to me if I said “Dodson”, which was Lewis Carroll’s given name (Charles Lutwidge Dodson).
And, my guy Will is rolling!
No, Jason, they wouldn’t accept Dodson but only because it’s Dodgson.
Ok, I’ll take that! Would they take Dodgson?
Yup.. I believe so.
Ouch, I got skunked on the DDs and FJ. Paul had a good get on that 2nd DD, but unfortunately didn’t use the title.
Figured at least 1 of the 3 would get the landlocked nation. The An/Ay element was gettable.
Thought Will’s and Jen’s FJ wagers were goofy, unless they were playing for WC status. Will needed to bet $401 to lock out Paul, stay in WC contention, even if wrong on Final., and win the game if Jen missed. As it played out, Jen had no chance of winning with that odd wager, but she did stay in WC contention.
I thought that the ‘Sovereign’ appeared again in some prior Jeopardy game, and not too long ago in fact. In any case, I took a stab at it, and went with ‘Monarch’. Well, I knew that wasn’t going to leave home base. Anyways, it was another challenging game.
I know you’re disappointed that none of the daily doubles were nailed today.
All 3 DDs were missed resulted our ninth skunking of the season.
Semifinalists:
Will Yancey: $13,800
Wildcards:
Jen Feldman: $8,200
Paul Clauson: $8,000
Darn Those Daily Doubles, Paul, and tough break on that Lady Chatterley’s Lover Daily Double, but at least, you got a FJ! right this time.
So Jen and Paul scores are 8,200 and 8,000. We’ll have to wait to see if their scores are good enough to advance to next week’s semifinals.
Jen didn’t bet to win so she would have a better chance if she had just stood pat on her $10,200.
