IMO much much harder clues, DDs and FJ than last night, although I did know the Mario Savio DD. Hard to believe no one knew how to cook an egg. Those two “track stars” are legendary in that sport. I had a few Chapter12 cases (family farms) in the 21+ years I worked in that field. Wasn’t certain about the Amendment but got it.
Usually, these Champions games are better. I was thinking that in the first round. But, in Double, that kinda came off the rails. Both Katie and Sharon should have known better with “phrase as a question”. That’s just minor league.
I thought Ken was just a bit sharp with “Neruda was Chilean”.
I didn’t get FJ. Since I didn’t know, I said “Molucca”.
Good luck to Andy.
The egg stumper was the real head scratcher
I was surprised that none of the contestants could come up with a response to a few of the easy ones (such as the Fourth Amendment), but then again, I couldn’t come up with a response for FJ.
I felt really bad for Katie, she started off really well in the first round where she and Andy had an impressive round. Then Andy was running away with this game and this caused Katie to have to take guesses to catch up, but that didn’t work our well for her and she dipped into the hole late in the round. With only 2 clues left in DJ! She was at-1.000 with 2 clues left worth 800 total and it’s over for her because there’s no way for her to get out of the hole and play FJ! She wasn’t around for FJ! But Katie is still a Jeopardy champion for the rest of her life.
