If I’m not mistaken, the only missed clue in round one was that pretty easy Hawaii-ND daily double. It even had “backward” in the clue to make it simpler.
Yungsheng and Gary had to hope they hit the DDs and bet big, which is just how it played out.
As someone who lived in NYC at the time of the Stonewall event, I should have known FJ. For those who think the categories and clues are geared to help certain contestants, I assure you they are not. I was the victim of bad luck when the classical music DJ hit the big $$ clues in Classical Music and sealed my fate.
Yungsheng had a runaway and would have won even if he didn’t know FJ! so any remarks about it being unfair or fixed are just ridiculous.
Also, Yungsheng didn’t bet anything so knowing Final didn’t even increase his score
That’s true but we can’t expect people who are looking to claim foul play to notice something like that 🤣
Would he have won if the FJ question was, ‘This person is the highest ranking officer in the USMC.’ no, Would that have been a fair question? No.
I wouldn’t say it’s fixed but that question gave Yungsheng an advantage.
What is it about a runaway that you don’t understand? It means the person who has a runaway wins before the Final Jeopardy! clue is even shown.
So even if they asked a USMC-related clue that only Tyler knew, Yungsheng still would have won and Tyler still would have placed second.
all are brilliant and fun to follow
Congratulations to Yungsheng on his victory! We’ll look forward to seeing him again in the Tournament of Champions. The Second Chance Tournament for Season 39 begins tomorrow.
