If Melanie had lost her bet, wouldn’t Aaron have won?
That’s right, Marilyn.
What a barn burner! Now THAT’S entertainment! Good on Melanie for being the winner!
I was 1/3 on DD but got FJ. Of course, I got the Final because I’d heard the story on TCM. “Meet Me In St. Louis” is a favorite movie. Even though the song was in there, my favorite song from the film is “The Trolley Song”!
Merry Christmas, all y’all! Mele Kalikimaka!
If they ever have a Third Chance tournament, I have two early nominees. What a great battle! Minimal stumpers or missed answers (tiptoeing through the lilacs made me wince, though). Melanie blew her lead on that very knowable tennis clue at the end, but it didn’t hurt her.
Didn’t know Final but guessed right. Somehow I associated that song with Judy. First DD was easy, other two left me clueless although I certainly know that play a little.
Melanie doesn’t keep that $40800, right? It just gets her into the Final?
Advancing to the next round is the only prize in quarter or semi-finals. I’m pretty sure they let finalists keep $$ that exceeded the top prize guarantee before but I’ll have to check back to make sure.
That was quite a competitive game, and Melanie emerged as the new Jeopardy champion (as she bet the store in F) and scored). Wow! No, I didn’t get the FJ, but ‘Have Yourself A Very Merry Christmas’ was never one of my Christmas favorites.
What an exciting game to celebrate Christmas Eve. All three players had high scores and this was certainly a battle. All three players deserved their Second Chance by playing well. We came close to a tiebreaker but it didn’t happen. Melanie will get to take on Guy Branum and Michelle Tsai in the finals that begins on Christmas Day tomorrow.
