Final Jeopardy: World Literature (2-8-21)

Here are 3 more triple stumpers from the 2/8/2021 Jeopardy! game:

PEOPLE & PLACES ($2000) Elaborate headgear & parasols are part of the temple processions in this strongly Hindu island of Indonesia

FEMALE FIRST NAMES ($800) This female name comes from a Greek word referring to a heavenly messenger from god

($1600) Yvette derives from an ancient word for this sacred tree

The players got all the clues in BEFORE & AFTER GOES TO THE MOVIES, except the $800 one (*):

($400) Renee Zellweger’s original journal entry meets up with a film about Greg Heffley based on a popular children’s book series
*($800) A 2020 adventure based on a Jack London classic gets, well, a lot weirder as a 1990 David Lynch film about Sailor Ripley
($1200) Hilary Swank’s boxer starts a career in crime with Ansel Elgort’s youthful master wheelman
($1600) A Cooper/Gaga saga goes Tom Cruise-ing into a 1989 film about a Vietnam vet
($2000) A 2014 movie with Peter Quill & his pals meets up with Tim Allen & his sci-fi TV cast to be a film we’d very much like to see

ANSWERS: show

Sneak Peek clues — HOW DEEP IS YOUR LOVE?
($200) Is it first love, like Jennifer Grey’s for Patrick Swayze in this classic movie of summer romance?
($400) Does your fervor rival Mario’s for this “fruity” princess as he daringly risks his life for her in video games?
($600) Hopefully, it’s as deep as the love shown in the 2014 Budweiser ad about an adopted puppy who bonds with one of these horses
($800) Maybe a love that lasts as long as that of this Beatle & wife Barbara Bach, who have been married almost 40 years
($1000) It’s deep, like Nick’s love for Jess on this Fox sitcom; who wouldn’t love a bride with an eyepatch

    John was incredible. John looks like a 20 or 30 game winner. John nailed some super hard questions today.

    Also, I hope Buzzy Cohen and Soledad O’Brien get hosting auditions.

    I have a feeling that John Focht definitely can get a week’s worth of wins and be a five time champion despite not getting final jeopardy. Crime and Punishment is a really good novel worth reading, especially when it takes place in russia. There is another one the brothers karamazov which I highly recommend as well VJ. Also if you want more crime and mystery Sherlock holmes is a good place to start too. I went with the most obvious answer here.

    At the end of the video in the recap, audible is offering a free audiobook of C&P with a free trial. Librivox has several free audiobooks, nothing to sign up for

    There was a triple stumper about Barbara Bach in the game that aired last December 30th. I mentioned that her 40th wedding anniversary was coming up this year in the comments and that it would make a good clue. hee hee hee

  4. Ismael Gomez says:

    We begin the week with another triple stumper. As always, nobody knows about geography.

  5. Dal Higbee says:

    John Focht has a chance of becoming the first player of Season 37 to sweep a week.

  6. Kevin Cheng says:

    We start out the week with a tough FJ category.
