    A catch-22 is an illogical situation.

    Missed the ending, answer-question.
    Looked on-line for the answer, only the question was given. Am I missing something! Disappointing arrive. $$$$$$$$$$$$

      Lana, yes, apparently, you are missing all the info you are looking for when it is in the recap. Above the video, it says how many players got the Final Jeopardy clue right — in this case, all of them.

      Under the video, it gives the correct answer: Who is Jack London?

      Above the image of the players, it tells you how much each player bet. Their responses are not listed there because I already told you they all gave the right answer.

    Jason couldn’t get anything going today since the ladies were very quick on the buzzer. Glad we got our triple solve today. Perhaps Kendra can build up on her win. Anyone here read catch 22? It’s a pretty good book, I just wished Jason would have taken that daily double on people in books in.the first round

      My mother made my 3:00 younger sister read Catch-22. She hated it after my sister hated it.
