Lee sure didn’t look like he had been in the contestant pool for over 20 years. The reversal came after he didn’t phrase “Robert the Bruce” as a question, either. And, I recall something from 40 years ago, in the county spelling bee – the word was “tenure”, and the person said “tnure”. He got really agitated, but there was a person with a reel to reel tape machine, and I could see them rolling it back several times. His not enunciated “t-e” stayed wrong. Likewise, even if Lee mumbled it, or rushed it, there was no time, even, for him to do that (as it takes about 1/10th to 1/5 of a second to say “what is”), and, the subtitlist didn’t catch it, either. So, I am not surprised that the judges didn’t hear it, either (and, to be a wag, I’ll say, “because it weren’t there!:”).
3/3 on DD, and got FJ. What else could it be? There was a show on ABC that was on 2020-2023 called “Big Sky”. It was theoretically possible for a book-smart Jeopardy! contestant could have said that.
Regardless, I, also, have never seen any of Yellowstone, but my sister and her husband LOVE it. She always exhorts me to watch it whenever I visit (about 4 times a year).
FJ pretty much a no-brainer. (And I’ve never seen it or its spinoffs once.) What else could it have been? It’s a pop culture phenomenon. Got the first 2 DDs, 3rd one mystified me.
I was pretty sure Lee failed to put that response in question form, but I miss those mumbled answers a lot, so wasn’t certain. He was on a good roll, too, but ultimately was not going to win anyway. Brina started nicely but faded like a cheap suit.
Got the “Family Guy” vehicle (never saw that show either). Shocked no one knew the 7-letter name from French for a gold brick.
It seemed to me that Lee was going so fast, he just thought he said what’s.
At least now we know for sure that the judges check these incidents closely.
As for the gold, they probably thought the right word was spelled like the broth maker.
It was another competitive game, and the clues were almost too easy. Anyways, I flubbed the FJ as I just do not tune into the newer TV shows. I mean, some of them remind me of home movies.
why was lee docked 4k when it was a 2k clue? cost him the game i think.
$2K for the $$ he earned, and another $2K for not putting it in question form. Standard procedure when a correct response is reversed.
Well, $2k for the $$ he earned, then lost the $2k from getting the question wrong (by not putting it in question form). Just for clarity.
