This has been the second consecutive time that the Jeopardy game in my area had been preempted by a basketball game.
It may have been a high-scoring affair, but the surfeit of wrong answers and stumpers left me cold. Sinecio was bobbing up and down like a drowning man in the first round, but recovered remarkably well. I was impressed with his knowledge of the novel characters, but I’ll bet he doesn’t watch football.
Blue? Even a casual football fan should have known the answer to Final. I can still visualize Lawrence Taylor’s vicious sack on Theismann that literally broke him. I found all 3 DDs much easier than usual. David was a strong contender, but had a few too many slip-ups, including “The River Runs through It”and one other one that he and Sinecio flubbed and left for Jamie.
They left few very knowable clues unanswered: the river/Arkansas island; the Irish lottery game; black tie this. Much tougher–but I knew them–were the Welsh actor and the YOLO soap. I won’t state here my true feelings about Reagan vis-a-vis federal employees, other than to say I was one during some of his reign.
I don’t know if it would have helped David to bet more on his Daily Double because Jamie just would have bet more when he got the other one. I forgot the sequence on the slip-ups.
David should definitely get a Second Chance spot. Like Luke from Wednesday’s game, he put up a great fight against Jamie. Unlike Luke, however, David got FJ! right.
