    I guessed The Huns for the final jeopardy clue. I was wrong of course. I got Monday’s final jeopardy question which was Wardrobe as in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe..

  2. Jason says:

    I got FJ. I don’t know if I knew it from WarCraft, or another game, or from where. I said “Horde”, then “Golden Horde” right after.

    I don’t know if David used the right strategy, wagering to cover only if Amy got it wrong. At least Amy made the correct wager.

  3. Howard says:

    Another close match with some first-rate players. Amy is so quick and smart.
    I came up with Mongols for the final. I’m not quite old enough to recall what happened in 1395. Only stumper I could get was the 3-letter link to a cog.
    One of my dear friends turns 85 next month. He majored in history in college. i tell people he got straight As because he was alive when it all happened.

  4. Albert says:

    Is Great Horde acceptable for the Final?

    • VJ says:

      I’m not completely sure,Albert,but the only way I could see them rejecting it is if *colorful * was in the clue. It wasn’t, in this case.

  5. Rick says:

    What a great game, and with some fierce competition in Double Jeopardy. Well, I came up with the Mongolians for FJ so one could say that I should at least receive some credit for it.

  6. VJ says:

    If they had seen the film where Halle Berry plays Dorothy Dandridge, they would have known the last name of the “Stormy Weather” dancing brothers $2000 clue. The one named Harold was Dorothy Dandridge’s first husband who abandoned her and their brain-damaged child.

    • Jason says:

      I’m sorry to say I forgot their names, despite watching a documentary special on them on TCM.
