I was impressed with how all 3 kids knew the Final. Warhol’s peak popularity occurred when I was in high school and college.
“Long run” was a dead giveaway for that missed DD.
The jazz festival towers clue was a toughie. I would not have known it had I not lived in LA once.
I thought one of them for sure would know the “disturbed state” $2K clue. But sometimes it just doesn’t come to you. I was watching the teens on Wheel the other night. Every letter in FRESH TROPICAL FRUIT had been exposed except the S in Fresh. But the girl spinning the wheel got a deer-in-the-headlights look and called for a G. The next player solved it, won a little $ and a trip to Antigua.
I said “Pleiades” for the TS about the astronomical sisters. I know that from “Israfel”, a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. I know they would have to accept it even though Mayim just gave the other acceptable response.
Here is an old Daily Double from 1995 in the category CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY: Like the Pleiades, the Hyades were sisters who were transformed into these – (the contestant said nymphs instead of stars).
Last time Justin Bolsen was on, which was his Semi-Final game on 6/24/19, he missed that Exponent True Daily Double, and was unable to play Final Jeopardy! as a result. This time, it worked out for him, and Justin got his revenge. Take that, Exponent!
At least Justin got redemption after that Daily Double loss on 6/24/19. This is his second appearance in Final Jeopardy!.
