Final Jeopardy: Current Reality TV (3-21-14)
The Final Jeopardy question (3/21/2014), in the category “Current Reality TV” was:
On learning what his series would be called, the star of this reality show said: “That sounds like a Chinese food place.”
New champ Diane Levinson won $16,800 yesterday, as the only player to get Final Jeopardy! right. Will she be back on Monday? Only if she can defeat these two players: Joe Morse, originally from Minneapolis, MN; and Lindsay Wilson, from Severn, MD.
Shoutout to KHOU Houston, our local TV station. When the basketball tournament ran 15 minutes over, we thought they would either preempt Jeopardy! or pick it up in progress, but they shortened the 4 pm news. Thanks, you guys!
Round 1: Joe found the Jeopardy! round Daily Double in “They Drink Blood” under the $1,000 clue. He was in second place with $3,000, $3,200 behind Diane’s lead. He bet it all and he was RIGHT.
An estimated 55,000 Africans die each year from being bitten by this fly whose name means “fly” in the Tswana language. show
Diane finished in the lead with $8,000. Joe was second with $5,400 and Lindsay was last with $1,800.
Round 2: Lindsay found the first Daily Double in “Federal Agencies” under the $1,600 clue. She was in third place with $3,400, $5,800 less than Diane’s lead. She bet $2,000 and she was RIGHT.
In 2003 the word “explosives” was added to the name of this agency. show
Joe found the last Daily Double in “African History” under the $1,600 clue. In second place with $12,600, he had $1,400 less than Diane’s lead. He bet $2,000 and said the Islamic Brotherhood. That was WRONG.
In June 2013 this Islamic group governed Egypt; in September it was banned. show
Diane finished in the lead with $14,000. Joe was next with $12,200 and Lindsay was in third place with $9,800.
TWO of the contestants got Final Jeopardy! right.
Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander, the Robertson family business, told Parade Magazine in July of 2013 that he thought the reality show would be good for business except for that bit of hesitation about the title, that he obviously overcame. (Parade)
Lindsay got it right and bet $9,700. She finished with $19,500.
Joe also got it. He bet it all and finished with $24,400.
Diane thought it was “Talk Soup.” She lost $10,401 and ended up in third place with $3,599.
And so the one-day champ trend continues and Joe Morse will be our new champ when Monday arrives.

Its nickname is said to come from a line in an 1899 speech that followed “frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me.” show
