    Michelle could’ve won by wagering anything less then $12400 in final jeopardy or maybe even wagering larger on that DD.

  2. Brian Rose says:

    What kind of wager was that for Keith in FJ??? Why play all game and then not maximize your chance of winning in the end.???

  3. Aidan Conroy says:

    3rd underdog player this season first Leslie then Melis and now Dave

  4. Howard says:

    I guarantee that all 3 GOATS would have nailed that final. The rest of us are mere mortals. Antietam came to mind for me immediately because I knew it was a battle site in MD. Turned out to be right.
    Other choice would have been Appomattox.

    • VJ says:

      Howard, I would imagine people who are familiar with the area would be able to figure this out, if they didn’t already know it. Certainly they would not say places like Gettysburg or Appomattox.

      Interestingly, Katie Couric was born and grew up within shouting distance of Washington, D.C.

  5. Dal Higbee says:

    Tough finish to the week.

  6. Rick says:

    I thought that it was Gettysburg, but then again, the final answer was erroneously phrased. I mean, things might have been a little clearer for everyone if the answer had specified ‘Washington D.C.”

    • VJ says:

      Clearly, no one thought that it was the state of Washington.

      I was watching this game with 2 of my girls. I went on a little streak of 7 right in a row. “I’m killing it,” I bragged…. then, of course, I got the next one wrong right after that. 🤣🤣🤣 (The girls are too nice to rub it in.)

  7. Matthew says:

    Always amazes me how people who are bright enough to get on the show completely fail at optimal betting strategy. 2nd place failure….it happens too frequently.

  8. Lou says:

    Dave made a great comeback today despite not being able to get anything going. But let’s hope he can score a runaway on Monday. What was Keith thinking with Monmouth? He must have misread the clue and got the revolutionary war confused with the civil war here. Michalle had a strong opening round but I think her nervousness must have taken over.

  9. klm says:

    i feeeeeeeeeeeel so sorry for michalle that i cant even type punctuations or uppercase
    she deserved to win after her strong surge after missing the first dd

    Tough FJ as we end the week with a triple stumper.
