Many of the female contestants bet like they’re shopping and they want to spend the absolute least.
The wagering is truly unbelievable. Hari arguably is the only contestant that plays it “correctly” here. Leah’s wager is designed to prevent losing to Dana if they both get it wrong, but HOW can that be her main concern? She HAS to wager everything like Hari does. And if Dana is going to win, she has to assume that the other two both wager everything and miss, so why not go all in and wager everything but $1, or if you don’t want to win with only a buck, I don’t know, wager $9900 which could leave her as a $100 winner. I understand that it’s not necessarily “wrong” to wager the $5K (she still wins if the other 2 wager “correctly” and miss) but we’re here to both win AND make as much money as possible, right? So if you’re in for $5k, why not more?
Leah’s wagering strategy would have cost her had Hari been correct and won the game.
She bet $3795, which would have been enough to beat Dana if both women had missed Final.
But her relatively small wager meant that Hari also had to be wrong with a sizable bet, or correct with a small one.
Dana’s 5K bet was more or less proper; she had to be right and hope the other two missed Final or bet $0. As it played out, though, she’d have won the game with a large enough wager.
One of those games with many possibilities.. Leah’s cloud had a silver lining.
Now that i am 53 i love when a young person loses due to lack of experience. If i ever got on the show i would love to go up against 2 girls in law school. Girls in law school are high on themselves and are lacking knowledge due to their youth, which makes a perfect storm of disaster for the young ladies.
We actually quite often have good young contestants Albert. Some notable examples from this season are Morgan Briles, Brayden Smith (who sadly passed away recently), Zach Newkirk, Ryan Hemmel, and many more. Today’s young contestant ended up missing an easy daily double which cost him the lead however he still would’ve lost even had he gotten it.
well, I just have to say that I particularly admired Hari’s performance in Chemistry, a category I certainly couldn’t compete in at his age or ever. Many young contestants are criticized for knowing more about pop culture than anything else. That certainly doesn’t describe Hari. He’s a brilliant young man.
Yes he played very well for a college student. I was rooting for Leah but it was impressive that somebody that young did so well.
For Hari, Mel Gibson is ancient history.
That’s really funny. Reminds me of the younger people who ask if Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings.
Cooper has a weird time lag in his response to correct answers.
Which he seemed to correct right after Leah said, “Oh, I guess not,” following his extended pause. They must have talked to him.
I noticed something a little strange, also.
It would have been great to see another tie in final jeopardy. But still a great game by the players. I’ve never heard of nacreous clouds before ever since learning about the weather during grade school science. This is pretty new to me.
What was Hari thinking of with Mel Gibson?
Lou, Hari was unwittingly making JJ’s wish that someone would say Mel Gibson come true. 🤣🤣 Mel did direct “The Passion of Christ” though.
I was rooting for Hari to win, it’s a shame he was too young to come up with DeMille. He was still a baby when “Passion of the Christ” came out.
Rhonda I’m still traumatized by the triple stumper on Canal Street. I thought it was well-known outside of New York city. I guess not.
I was quite surprised at that, too, Jacob, but I must say I had no idea that it appears in movies so frequently.
