What a nonsense when the player who finished in red is thanked and awarded $1,000!
What would you like them to do? That’s how the show works.
It’s the prize for third place, not for finishing in the red. VJ’s idea to let them play the last round isn’t a bad idea but it would probably turn out bad because of the shoutouts. No incentive to take a guess
Oh, yes, that! I forgot about the shoutouts. You’re right. It wouldn’t work out.
I was 1/3 on DD and got FJ. For 1960s movies, it could have been from Psycho in 1960 to Midnight Cowboy in 1969, The Longest Day to Bullitt. So, I thought for a moment, and got it. I remembered that I forgot that Serling wrote it!
Yeah, not the best contestants. Oh well!
Not terribly impressed with this crew, although Allegra played solidly enough to win. I got only the first DD and sorry to say Final stumped me. I saw the original film ages ago and am not sure I ever knew that it was Serling’s screenplay. But the bananas part of the clue made it guessable.
I cleaned their clocks on a lot of the stumpers. 4th Ave in NYC; the 055 issuance; largest tree’s name; the giving family (I remember when the namesake went missing); the Spaniard designer; female king before Tut; and the M composer. $7400 total, not half bad.
Allegra was sharp tonight, and ended the game with a runaway to boot. As for me, I didn’t do well at all in the game, and flubbed the FJ. Well, I didn’t see ‘The Planet Of The Apes’ film when it premiered, but the TV series that followed it was rather lackluster. In fact, I’m not sure that it lasted more than a season.
Mason fell 2 clues short of making it to FJ! but Allegra got the last 2 clues.
Now there’s a rule they really ought to change. If they’re in the hole for $400, let them play FJ for $400. If someone has a zero bet, let them play FJ with a zero bet.
Well VJ, l I’m afraid that this was the rule ever since the Jeopardy game premiered in 1964. Sadly, we all know what happened after the game was altered during the late 1970s. Predictably, the ratings began to plummet, and which had subsequently led to the game cancellation.
There have been a lot of changes to the show since 2020, and it’s in no danger of being canceled . So I truly doubt that the show would get canceled if they let players in the red save a little face.
There were a lot of changes that were made to the Jeopardy game show during the late 1970s. If I recall, only two of the three contestants were allowed to square off after the DJ, and these two were the ones who had accumulated the most winnings. After one of those two were eliminated in short order, the winner then proceeded to respond correctly to all of the clues in a category that he/she selected. There was no FJ at that time. This occurred while the Jeopardy game show was competing against several ‘high rollers’ game shows like the $20,000 Pyramid. Well, it was no small wonder that these Jeopardy modifications had alienated many Jeopardy viewers. Think of the Jeopardy game show as the Monopoly board game. When you’re out of money, you’re out of the game.
