So Kyle becomes the latest contestant this season to wipe out before Final J! and speaking of wipe out, How many contestants were wiped out this season?
7 Contestants: Rahul Garabadu, Priscilla Drobes, Audrey Koh, Jon Furhman, Waseem Daher, Aaron Shepard & Kyle Dallman.
Yeah but you forgot to add Brad Rutter from the second match of game 2 of Jeopardy The Greatest.
Yes, but none of the Greatest of All Time episodes are considered Season 36 Episodes. So, Brad Rutter doesn’t count.
How many contestant were wiped out in Season 30? Not counting Kevin Shen.
Kyle, we come to you first, and I start by saying: “Darn those Daily Doubles”.
Same here.
This game wasn’t too nice to Kyle after he blew both daily doubles in the second round. I really wonder if nervousness took a toll on him. But congrats to Leanne and J.R. on getting final right. Speaking of Sears, when was the last time you shopped there, VJ?
I am surprised that no one heard of the I Me song from Beatle.
The first round went pretty well, with only one triple stumper and the scores fairly even. Then things went kind of went downhill for Kyle and Leanne dominated the last round. I was happy to see both J.R. and Leanne get the final, even though I didn’t think anyone would get it.
Amazing that I still remember the Monopoly board. I never liked that game for a few reasons — it took too long to play and my little brother cried when he lost.
I don’t remember the last time I went to Sears, Lou.
Both those DDs were toughies, in my opinion.
I shopped at our Sears and K-Mart right up until they closed in Jan 2019.
The younger players often don’t know music/pop culture from my era, and “I Me …” is a very obscure Beatles tune from their final album. That said, my jaw often drops when the younger players rattle off answers about people, places, and events from the 1970s and earlier.
