I don’t like the inconsistency with the Jeopardy game now. On Thursday, a player was given a correct answer for ‘Long’, while in the past the player would have been asked to be more specific in naming Huey or Earl Long. I think the game should be more consistent.
Albert, I agree that they are being way more lenient than in the past. It seems to me that we’re just gonna have to accept the judges’ decisions, like it or not!
Didn’t see the show, so depending on the recap. No one knew the stored body of water or the Connecticut oak? Surprising. I figured at least one would get FJ; I remembered Mme Defarge from way back in the 1965-66 school year, when we read the novel and our young English teacher explained the symbolism of the knitting. That totally fit with the 1859 part of the clue.
If James and Molly had gotten FJ right, Jessica would have finished last with her wacky $10,000 wager!!
The winner, who couldn’t be caught, bet enough to lose if the guy got final question right.
‘zackly!
Yeah, her wager was crazy. All she had to do was bet $0 to win! Has anyone seen where she gave her logic on the wager? Either of her opponents could have beat her with a correct response.
Does it really matter? Neither opponent got the correct answer. If you can change the scenario to where one of them may have been right, why can’t we also say Jessica might have been right?
It shows some fallacious logic, if any. She didn’t have to bet anything. As said above, all she needs to do is do nothing. And, as was written in 1978 in the New York Medical Journal, rule #3, “if you don’t know what to do, don’t do anything”. Why tempt fate?
Congrats to jessica winning this first week of the second chance competition and advancing to the 2022 toc! I hope she does well against Matt and maybe Amy.
And the first week of the Second Chance competition ends with a triple stumper in the Final.
Congrats to Jessica for winning the first week of Second Chance competition and that means she will advance to the 2022 Tournament of Champions and might possibly play against Matt Amodio and Jonathan Fisher in a rematch. Next week the Second Chance competition continues with week 2 starting off with Sarah Snider, Jeff Smith, and Sadie Goldberger.
I don’t think there will be a rematch between her, Matt, and Jonathan.
