Another darn good game tonight. Props to Lucy for getting FJ. She knew she could not overtake Josh, so wagered appropriately. Too bad she fell a few $$ short. But she gets to take home $50K.
No one knew the name of a striped squirrel?
Oh, I didn’t think FJ was tough at all. And I’m not even an Arthurian scholar. I just played around with the sound for a few seconds.
Lucy did it again, which is unbelievable – not phrasing in the form of a question. I mean, how do you win Jeopardy, doing that? Well, clearly, you don’t!
I really think that the elimination of wild cards in all the tournaments is a negative. That adds some strategy, which is missing from the “one and done” way it has become.
I think Lucy thought she replied in question form. Ken gave her ample time to fix it– too much imo. I know I’d be pissed if she got it after that long pause and it cost me the game.
I can’t help thinking of all the abuse aimed at Mayim for pauses when Ken does stuff like that or worse (giving the contestant 3 chances before ruling).
Man, the audience was cheering really loud there when Josh Saak won with $47,200 even though he didn’t wager anything.
Hmmmm………A tough FJ tonight, but perhaps we’ll have better luck in tomorrow’s game.
