Sneak Peek clues — THE LYIN’ IN WINTER

One or more people always comment here “No one knows anything about geography.” It took a geographer to put that to rest, at least for one night.
FJ was very gettable, but stumped me too. At least I knew all 3 DDs.
Dave definitely had the right stuff to be a long-term champ, but sometimes it’s just not your day.
I’d have to go back and check, but didn’t Amy S come close to losing her very first game? Someone in this community probably has the quick answer.
Howard, I don’t think Amy came closing to losing her first game — she was the only one that got FJ! right. The thing was she was not in the lead at the end of Double Jeopardy! So she won because Andrew He did not get the final clue.
Regarding FJ, I came up with the Napoleonic Era. Actually, I was hoping that it was close enough, but I suppose “The Reign of Terror” was fair game.
the three game curse has affected David too including lawrence. Maybe those two can come back for the second chance tournament.
Another tough final as we got another triple stumper. As always, nobody knows about history.
How disappointing, maybe Dave for second chance version, was hoping to see him get at least 5. I loved his composure, knowledge and of course hair.
