Hmmmm…….Given the clue, I was thinking about some port city during the 1950s era, but came up with nothing. Actually, I wasn’t aware that Patty Hearst’s attorneys specifically used the ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ as Patty’s primary defense. No, as far as I recall, Patty Hearst’s attorneys claimed that she was simply “brainwashed”. At any rate, her father (Randolph Hearst) was a wealthy publisher, and I sure didn’t have any doubt at the time that he was going to help Patty beat the rap. As the saying goes:: “Money talks”, and it sure did in Patty’s case as she only served two years for armed robbery before President Carter pardoned her..
In a fun coincidence, today’s Jeopardy daily calendar’s clue was about Jurassic Park, then a different clue about JP popped up in this episode.
Brittany was all over the place and spent a long time in the red, but recovered nicely enough to make it a competitive game. The scores were decent after DJ, but they left a lot on the table.
Sharon’s a good player, but someone will take her down soon. I thought Jen might do it.
The “group at the DNC” was not a triple stumper; Jen said “delegates” (which I thought they’d accept as a noun) and Sharon said “delegation.”
A rare night when I got all 3 DDs and FJ. The final would have been tough to guess if you didn’t know the old port.
WAY too many unanswered clues and wrong answers tonight. Someone should have known the 1923 president from Vermont. Others that were not impossible were the Dirty Harry sequel; the golfer’s beach; the rhyming region of China; and the white stone. The “Metal Health” band was a toughie, but I know them from my classic rock station’s playlist.
And the rhyme with October! How many could there be?
Thanks for the heads up on the DNC clue, Howard.
The $400 clue “To The, Tower” should’ve been read.
So we didn’t get a payday of over 20,000 last week and this week but Sharon is certainly a good player. Her sister is going to be so proud of her for making it to two wins.
