1/3 on DD but got FJ. I told my wife, before the clue was shown, that I wouldn’t get it, because I don’t know anything about 21st Century literature, so that was a nice surprise.
Harrison really poured it on in DJ! Good on him.
Decent challengers, champ blew two DDs and risked his runaway with his wager on the last, but he still coasted to victory. I got both DDs he missed and thought they were kinda easy.. Ni-cad batteries/5 cent coin. Final left me blank; certainly have heard of the novel/movie, and I’m sure my daughter read it.
Knew the Ross-Richie duet; the Gunn/Rookie actor; and Latin for later.
It was another exciting game, and Harrison remained as the Jeopardy champion. Yes, Harrison was as sharp as usual. ‘Life of Pi’ was familiar, and I thought that it was made into a movie. In any case, I thought that the movie had to deal with the Vietnamese boat people after the war.
With that, Harrison has now 4 games and he has qualified for the 2027 Tournament of Champions because remember today is the last day for 2025-26 postseason qualification. This means that Aaron Levine is now officially going to be in the 2026 Tournament of Champions.
