I was 1/3 on DD, because, although I knew it was Tennessee-related, I said “tennesseeium”. Clearly, WRONG!
Final, I got, because of Jeopardy! and you fine folks here, especially VJ! I have never read any Ibsen, but, this was one of those, “Who else could it be”?
And, as virtually always, I concur with my friend Howard. TJ just says too much. Chatty is not good for most people on that stage.
Roberto’s “The Doll’s House” response in final jeopardy would have been counted correct since they do not penalize contestants for changing an article at the beginning of a title.
A very uneven game, to put it mildly. Ellie made a bold move into first, then faded as TJ hit the DD and dominated from there. He is, to be diplomatic, way too over the top and chatty for my liking. And that “Kingston Trio” response made me cringe, as did the one he made in the Judy category (wedding).
I got only the 3rd DD which wasn’t that tough. Final stumped me but once I saw it, I realized it was kinda obvious. They left a few out there that surprised me, especially the young outlaw. The Judy rock trio was pretty knowable, so was the non-inventor of baseball who was a general. The NC fort has been newsworthy because it was restored to its original name not long ago. The 9-letter protection word was a gimme, especially in the current political climate.
The Kingston Trio response was hilarious to me. OMG! I will remember it whenever I need to look ar the February 1st birthday list. The video on there is Bad Man’s Blunder. I always loved that group.
None of those Civil War clues were hard, imo. 3 people on one panel who didn’t know zip about the Civil War. That was what I found cringey
About 3 years ago, during the height of Covid and Black Lives Matter, the name “Civil War” was removed from the longstanding Oregon-Oregon State football game. And now that they’re in separate conferences, they will not meet in 2026.
Well, to be fair, I don’t know zip about football so there’s that.
It was another exciting game, and TJ remained as the Jeopardy champion. What? No one came up with the element at the end of the alphabet? Anyways, I performed above average in the game, but fared poorly in the ‘Monopoly’ category. After all, I haven’t played that 1935 Parker Brothers board game in years. Well maybe I’ll change that as that game tends to come up frequently in Jeopardy. No, I missed the FJ, but I sure have heard of the play.
I believe that this is the first regular play game in which all three players bet 0 in FJ! And we also have our first repeat of the week and the month.
