Final Jeopardy: National Anthems (2-8-17)

Reversals: BEETS ($600) Because of the concentric rings of red and white, the beets seen here also have this alliterative name.

Kirstin gave the response they wanted after Carl’s response of Bull’s Eye Beets was rejected. He got a $1,200 credit.

WOMEN AUTHORS ($1200) This best-selling author’s works, in part, explore mother-daughter relationships and the immigrant experience.

Alex accepted Carl’s answer even though he gave the author’s last name as if it began with an ‘F’. When reversal time came, Carl got dinged for $2,400.

Should have been reversed: This was the second from last clue shown before the end of Double Jeopardy! in WOMEN AUTHORS ($1600). Kirstin had $9,200 when she buzzed in and answered “Their Eyes Are Watching God.” Jody got the last clue worth $2,000 right, giving her $9,400 going into Final Jeopardy! Carl had the lead with $12,800. Jody and Carl both got FJ wrong, so it probably had no effect on the outcome, as far as the winner goes. Perhaps Kirstin would have made a different bet from third place.

Here’s a trailer from the film, showing the correct title, and a link to the book.
