    The questions seem longer and the pace faster for this tournament. It’s often hard to follow. I’ve never noticed this before, even for a tournament. As always, it would be a big help to see the category displayed along with the question.

  2. Quinn says:

    I am honestly surprised at today’s ending I was expecting it to be McKenzie who won but hopefully she can earn a wild card spot. Unfortunately for her that is unlikely because tomorrow is Andy Sam and Veronica who all have a very good record with final jeopardy.. We also know that Jason and Nibir are wildcards.

  3. Albert says:

    Do you think jennings, rutter, and/or holzhauer would have answered today’s Final correctly? Being from Lancaster, PA, Rutter may have some extra knoeledge about the Manson-Nixon Line.

    Robin williams called it manson-nixon line in a routine. Very funny.

    • Howard says:

      Good question. Ken is a geography nerd and likely would have nailed it. Brad, too, especially considering his PA roots. And James hardly ever misses a FJ question.

      I got Lord Baltimore but my other guess was De La Warr (which I would have misspelled as de la Ware).

  4. Ismael Gomez says:

    Tough final as we got a triple stumper.

  5. Lou says:

    That daily double didn’t work out for Ben today but still though everyone isn’t a big risk taker here. I really hope Mackenzie can clinch to her wild card spot. I am excited to see who will be the last semi finalist. I.was hoping Ben would have been able to gain momentum. William Penn I knew right away but not the other one.

    • Howard says:

      That was a tough DD. I happened to be familiar with Love Field, partly because it was the title subject of a movie with Michelle Pfeiffer long ago. And the Kennedys flew into Love Field shortly before JFK was assassinated in 1963. Pays to be old sometimes!

  6. William Weyser says:

    It’s the last Quarter-Final Game, not Semi-Final Game.

  7. Kevin Cheng says:

    So Jason and Nibir have both clinched the first two spots for the wild card which means that they can’t be caught going into tomorrow’s game. The scores to beat tomorrow are Ryan H. with 11,600 and Mackenzie with 9,000. I’m a little worried about these two because they may both get bumped off the wild card spot unless the other two players don’t have enough money to beat their scores.

  8. Richard Corliss says:

    And then there were 11.

  9. Richard Corliss says:

    Semifinalists:
    Ryan Bilger: $32,405
    Jennifer Quail: $20,650
    Karen Farrell: $16,200
    Kevin Walsh: $16,000

    Wild Cards:
    Jason Zuffranieri: $18,800
    Nibir Sarma: $12,199

    Sarah Jett Rayburn: $0 ($9,800)
    Ben Henri: $0 ($2,800)

      On Jeopardy.com, their information is wrong. Steve should be on the “Wild Card Watch”, not Paul (because Paul is out), before watching tonight’s episode. Link
