Geography not my strong suit, but I guessed all 3 of the FJ nations correctly.
I’m surprised they gave James credit for his Final response – the “K” in Korea looked like an “R”.
That was a lights out Jeopardy! round, and DJ was only a little less. The missed DD about poetry I got, because I’m a very minor Milton scholar.
And my two were Kazakhstan and Mongolia! I think tonight will be another barn burner (or, at least I hope!).
Good game by all the players today. Happy to see everyone getting the final right. Very strong players I might add. Very impressive scores
Great competition! Tomorrow’s show should be fascinating. I’m rather pleased these contestants got second chances and I hope the producers consider another tournament next year. Again, thanks, VJ for all you do – your research is impeccable.
Thanks, Sam. I’m liking the Second Chance Tournament, too. I especially like the one week format.
VJ, during the finals of the College Championship 2/14/12 you had also posted a fantastic map of that entire region. The fj clue was almost similar to today’s but with a twist. Told you I study Fikkle Fame. I’m betting the contestants do as well. In that game there were 2 correct responses in fj.
Wow, Jacob, I put in a link to that post. I’m bowled over that you remembered that map over 10 years later! What a memory!
@VJ, No, no. I study Fikkle Fame and review it over and over most evenings when I have time. I think a lot of people think of J! Archive to study from. I prefer Fikkle Fame because you provide additional detailed information about each final jeopardy from which I can study in greater detail. I learn a lot that way. I think I studied that map recently a few weeks ago and that’s how I recall.
Just as I stated once before I learn a lot from your write-up and Mark’s write-up on sports.
That’s great to hear! I have learned so much myself over all these years from the websites I’ve looked up and shared, from J-Archive and from visitors and, of course, Jeopardy! itself and the contestants. And most especially from regular posters like you, Jacob, who have made this site such a worthwhile and enjoyable endeavor for me.
