Tough but fair FJ. “Beaver” led me to Oregon but I blanked out and eventually thought Coors. That was a daring 10K DD wager by Will and a good get. Korea was the 38th parallel, so that could not be the answer. A little more time and I might have figured it out. What a disaster that partitioning created.
Thought someone would know Buck and Clyde’s brother. Characters in a classic film. Wasn’t sure on the first DD, although “adorable” took me to the right guy. Figured out the L-L poker game without having to bluff!
Tonight’s challengers were competent, but it will take someone stronger to knock off Will. Because where there’s a Will, there’s a way!
I have to disagree, ever so slightly, in re: competent challengers. Not the strongest. And, Ashley’s less than max wager told me she wasn’t going to be aggressive enough. Also, since when is “Scarface” adorable?? I understand she wanted to say something, but…
I was just so close to FJ (NOT!!). I said “RC Cola”, then wondered if it could be Moxie.
Finally, “isotope” X2?? C’mon, man!
Not for nothing, Jason, some credit must go to today’s challengers for the significant reduction in triple stumpers ,
Obviously gangsters weren’t up there on the radar today. Idk if it would have helped Ashley if her DD clue said infantile instead of adorable.
My sister went with Hires Root Beer for FJ, , and I wasn’t even close. Anyways, that FJ was tough.
The answer to final jeopardy was wrong. It is Canadian Pacific. Canada dry has and has always had a crown at the top since it started in 1904.
Do me a favor, Allen… click on the link in the paragraph after “WHAT IS CANADA DRY?” in the recap. There you will see the Canada Dry logo with the beaver on a log.
And, if you have the time to read the paragraph itself, you will notice that I pointed out that I saw many sites that said Canada Dry has been using the crown logo since 1904.
Allen, I think you misread the fj clue. Canadian Pacific is NOT a “beverage brand.” Also, Canadian Pacific does not have a “map” in its logo to my knowledge. I’m positive I heard Ken Jennings say that Canada Dry still has a map in its logo today when providing his explanation after all contestants provided an incorrect response before the show ended.
Also, fj clues are not supposed to have an answer as a response. The response must be in the form of a question. You stated “The answer to final jeopardy was wrong.” Merv Griffin, the creator of Jeopardy, would probably turn over in his grave if that was accepted as a correct statement when applied to his show Jeopardy.
And we got a triple stumper as today’s final was a bit tough.
