    Oh, poor Jon. He either didn’t know or (more likely, since he quoted “Papillon”) forgot Devil’s Island, a very gettable DD.
    It cost him the win, ultimately. He’ll remember it now and forever.

    “Red Scare” stumped me; I never associated it with post-WWI.

    It’s a shame that forgetting his phrasing cost Chris the game. That will probably haunt him for a while.

    Alex sounded like a disappointed professor. “Both of you made the same mistake. You neglected to phrase your response in the form of a question.”

    Only Jon was wrong and Chris was right.

      “Alex sounded like a disappointed professor.” Alex always sounds like that to me, when contestants make mistakes.

      2nd DD right response—what are the odds??

    omg! I was totally vindicated today when that Mr. Exotic clue turned out to be a triple stumper. They nevah hoid of him before this month either! 🤣🤣🤣 I was kidding when I wrote the Nevah Hoid of Oct. post, when I said the stuff I read on Page Six might turn up on Jeopardy! someday. Never expected it would in the same month.

    Now I’m gonna have that Carole Baskin Tik Tok song playing in my head again

    I was not really familiar with red scare, but still Chris could have beaten carmela if he didn’t mess up on one of the clues that wasn’t formed in a question.

  5. Kevin Cheng says:

    Actually, VJ, it wasn’t all of the contestants that got FJ! right, it was two of the contestant got FJ! right and that was both male players. But it didn’t matter because Carmela missed but she won anyway.
