Without the critical word “biopic,” I would not have known FJ. I was leaning toward Hugo before realizing that was not a biopic. Didn’t hurt that I saw the Piaf film long ago.
The horn bet clue was a toughie, but I’ve dealt craps for both real and play money since 1980, so that one was a pushover.
Troy played a solid game despite not getting a crack at the DDs. Jake was fast and smart, but probably will get roasted in social media for his odd mannerisms.
It’s remarkable how much of the same dirt we tread, Howard. I have a transitional job in a casino, now. I don’t deal dice, just blackjack, but, I’m around enough to get the horn clue.
And, you said, much more diplomatically than me, what I was thinking of Jake’s performance. The cameraman was moving all over the place to keep him in scene. Then, he leaned on the podium like, who was it, Tyler Rhode, who later showed the worst sportsmanship I think I’ve ever seen. It was in one of the tournaments, in an earlier round, where he lost, and put his head down on the podium for the entirety of the post game.
I don’t know if Jake has what it takes. The DD, as said, was instrumental, and you can’t count on them, routinely.
I didn’t get FJ correct.
I’m at a friend’s house & they don’t have a local, OTA antenna. We found a YouTube that quit before Double Jeopardy was over (about 19 minutes in) Boo! Isn’t there someplace we can stream the show? Thank you for this recap site.
Gerry, Jeopardy! will put a video of the Final Jeopardy! round up on its YouTube channel later, after the show has aired everywhere. Meantime, J-Archive records all the clues — see today’s game.
Are questions ask of contestants prior to selection to appear on Jeopardy to determine their strongest area of knowledge? During recents shows new contestants are given categories that they immediately answer the entire categories, therefore taking over the reigning champion.
Janice, it’s not a matter of contestants acing categories because the other players are weaker in that topic. It’s whoever is quickest on the buzzer.
Jake overtook Troy today with that $10K bet on his Daily Double, not because he ran the Country Songs category. Troy still did a great job of preventing Jake from having a runaway so at least he had a chance to win.
The game boards are prepared well in advance of the tapings.
I missed Jeopardy tonight because a golf game was in that spot. Oh well. C’est la vie.
Me too! 😭😭
We’ll see Troy Meyer in the Tournament of Champions.
And we end the week with a triple stumper as today’s final was a tough one.
After some easy FJs this week, we are ending the week with a tough FJ! clue that stumped all three players but it is not a bad week at all.
