    I knew the Animal Crossing clue because I have that game.

  2. Lou says:

    By the way VJ, do you think that daily double on the clue about that river in the countries category kind of threw emily off track a bit today? Because after this episode, I figured that the material in double jeopardy seems to be difficult.

    • VJ says:

      She just didn’t know it, Lou. You can’t expect to know every Daily Double but you can expect to get wiped out sooner or later if you keep betting big on them.

      Meantime my granddaughter was thrilled to get that clue. She knew it because she has the same name

  3. Dal Higbee says:

    Are we ever gonna get a 4 time champion?

  4. Trevor Panno says:

    I wish that daily double had paid off for Emily.

    • William Weyser says:

      We all wish that. WHEN WILL THIS CURSE END?!!!

      • VJ says:

        Maybe it wasn’t the curse this time. Maybe the fourth just wasn’t with Emily

        • William Weyser says:

          No, the 4th wasn’t with Emily, and it wasn’t with me, either.

        • Quinn says:

          I felt terrible for Emily because she went from $8000 to -$1200 In a round. However Hanna was a great player as was Brittany.

  5. Lou says:

    73000 dollars is more than enough for emily. But it has been 3 months since we last had a four time champion. Stil though that daily double didn’t pay off for her but glad she was the only one to get final right. A good game on her part, especially the ladies tonight. It’s a great kick off to mother’s day. And congras to Hanna on her win so maybe she can pull off a 4 game run hopefully. Hanna was too quick on the buzzer for Brittany to keep up today. besides, Emily had fun today. with 8 triple stumpers here I think the double jeopardy round was much more challenging to be honest.

  6. Kevin Cheng says:

    So far we hadn’t had a 4 time champion since 3 months. Also it looked like we were going to 2 players left going into FJ! but Emily has gotten her score above 0. It sure started to not look good after the less than a minute warning and Emily had 0 after 22nd clue but we’re glad that she was around for FJ! and was the only player that got it right. But still 73,000 is a lot of money for Emily.
