Good group, but Robbi was too tough in the long run. I didn’t see Rachel as a multiple winner, but you just never know. I haven’t totally forgiven this crew for not knowing Maine’s tree, the Hawaiian volcano, the prehistoric humans, or the tiny lobsters.
FJ answer came to me halfway through, but really didn’t know. Robbi being from Orlando was serendipitous and was potentially embarrassing if he’d missed it and lost.
PJ’s puny late DD wager was barely enough to prevent an eventual runaway, although there were still a few clues left that could have resulted in one. His FJ seemed odd at first, but his $10600 wager was designed to win by $1 or more if he got FJ right and Robbi bet at least the anticipated $401.
That Final was waaaaaaaay too easy. I think at least 90% of Jeopardy players would have correctly answered that Final.
Is this a runaway game? Looks like I think it will.
