    Poor Andres couldn’t get anything going till it was way too late. Still, he could have won (maybe) if the others had missed the final. The opponents were not world-class, but still quicker and smarter.

    Many of the stumpers were difficult, although I thought all 3 DDs and FJ were pretty simple.
    “Death on the Nile” is in the news lately because the movie is about to come out and is being heavily advertised. There were obvious references to Egypt in the clue.

    Ugh! I picked ‘The African Queen’. Well, C’est la vie!

    I am glad that Lawrence got final. Overall Lawrence is more likely to get a streak running if he can string together more correct responses for final.

  4. Douglas Hicton says:

    No the unrevealed clues are LEFT COVERED, not uncovered. You are saying exactly the opposite of what you mean! I’ve told you this before and you keep doing it!

    • VJ says:

      Sorry about that, Doug. As I said before, I get confused with the covered / uncovered thing so I tried to change it to ‘all the clues were seen’ and the other one is supposed to be ‘xx clues were left on the board.’ But I am not always the one doing the DDs these days. That’s why we revert to the old ways sometimes. We’ll try our best to keep that straight but hope you won’t let it upset you that much if we have a relapse now and then.

  5. Kevin Cheng says:

    As you can see all three players overbet in Final Jeopardy, what would have happen is that if Lawrence came up with an incorrect response then he’ll lose the game and it will made Krystle the new champion with only $399 which would be lowest total ever recorded on the show.
