    I think Iris is outclassed in this one. Jason has a very small chance to win. However, Juveria looks like the real thing. In any case, it’s definitely a nice cushion to have for Monday.

  2. William Weyser says:

    51,200 is the exact same score that Ken Jennings finished Game 1 in Night 3 of the Greatest of All Time with.

    Jeopardy! has now reached the 9000th episode.

  4. Howard says:

    Wow, Juveria took no prisoners, and is fast on the buzzer too. I was impressed she knew “Henderson the Rain King.” I was sure that’d be a stumper.

    I considered Churchill but went with Stalin, who I thought fit the warmonger label. But Churchill was more in line with the Canada reference. I should have known the term for water-soaked air because we just got over one.

  5. Rick says:

    My first thought for FJ was FDR, then Churchill, and lastly De Gaulle. Why I settled for De Gaulle I’ll never know, but the French president did flee to England. IMHO, I wouldn’t know why Hitler would fear any of those two leaders as the British and French were hardly good fighters. Actually, neither were the Italians for that matter.

  6. Kevin Cheng says:

    45,600 was the highest score this season going into FJ! Right now Juveria’s score is very hard to catch but it’s not over yet.
