Had a mostly miserable night including the DDs, but got FJ right away. My only concern was I thought maybe the book came out prior to 1974, because the movie was in 1975. Sarah was sharp, quick, composed, and all business.
Knew the “Blow Out” director (loved that movie), the OT game-winner, that’s about it. Tough night.
2/3 on DD, and got FJ.
Got about half the TS.
It was a rather lower scoring affair. Katie was quickly left behind. Tom was further. But, I did notice that, after winning, Sarah did step over to shake hands with Katie and Tom. Classy move.
It was another great game with a freebie thrown in for FJ. In addition, Sarah did exceptionally well, and emerged as the new Jeopardy champion. Well done Sarah!
