JZ and JQ are two of the best players of recent years. Would have liked to see them face off in the finals. I suppose I’ll pull for VVV because we’re both Portlanders. Nice to see 2 women make the final. Probably a bit more common in the other tournaments. I compete against Jennifer and Ryan and other J! alums in a for-fun weekly trivia quiz that’s open to anyone. One of its subgroups is former J! contestants. I actually outscore her about half the time, but could never beat her in a real game of Jeopardy!
If the Millionaire show were still on prime time tv then the TOC winner would be getting at least $500K. Jeopardy needs to increase its dollar values. It has been 20 years since Jeopardy increased its dollar values.
Agreed. They last did that when Millionaire was in its prime.
This should be an exciting two day final game with two girls and a guy. Overall I am hoping they will have a strong competition. Also Jacob, do you have a favorite Rossini opera? Verdi wasn’t a bad guess though I like aida and la traviata. I grew up with classical music and opera because I have attended concerts in music halls previously. Even though the daily doubles didn’t work out for nibir or jason they played well.
Lou, William Tell is my favorite because it was his last opera. Also, the overture part of the opera was so great it became the theme of the Lone Ranger TV show.
It’s not the first time there were two women in the TOC finals. The first time it happened was in 1993 before Tom Nosek won.
Oh, I didn’t know that. I wasn’t born in the year 1993.
Neither was I.
So it was “before your time” (as Alex used to say)?
Yes.
And then there were 3.
Congrats to Jennifer for making it to the finals. We have Sam, Veronica, and Jennifer duke it out for the next 2 days to compete for 250,000 prize. This is the first time that we are going to have two women and one man in the TOC finals.
