Jacob definitely should have bet more on those 2 second row Daily Doubles.
P.S. Mattea is the one that used to wave the hands around all the time. Bevin, shall we say, is more exuberant.
That’s a nice way of putting it, VJ. I don’t normally comment on things like that, but I had to look away from all of that; Surprised that she was allowed to put on such an annoying , exaggerated performance. She could have made it across the English Channel with all of that gyrating.
A battle royale ended with a giant anti-climax. CAVRANS? I thought of Death Valley for Final and didn’t try to change it. Bevin bounced, rocked, and waved her way to a Jeopardy! win. She makes Matt Amodio look like a statue. And there’s been a raft of players lately prefacing their clue selections with “Let’s do…”
Last 2 DDs rather easy. I should have known the first one. I Mom grew up in Brooklyn and used to go on the rides at Coney Island. I did know Duke Snider’s realm. My grandmother lived on Bedford Avenue, just a short walk from Ebbets Field. I went to one game there the year before they bolted for LA. Didn’t matter, but the MD did well in the medical words category, other than his goof-up on “vascular.” Ten years of French classes in the 1960s got me the first two of the three stumpers in that column. The great czar clue was very guessable.
I second Bevin to STOP MOVING. My goodness, it might be her style, but she puts Ray in a distant second. I thought I was going to get motion sick!
3/3 on DD, but missed FJ. I know very little of National Parks (and most of what I know is from Jeopardy!, anyhow). I said “Painted Desert”, even though “desert” was in the clue.
As stated, wow, nitpick, but, definitely the correct decisions. What can you say?
Oh, a final note – Vivek told his funny story about being grilled on Duke basketball. That’s something of which med school applicants have to be acutely aware – if you SAY you can speak Lithuanian or play the guitar, you better darn well be ready to do it when your interviewer greets you or hands you an axe and tells you to rip!!
I just wanted Bevin to stop dancing.
Yes. They should have spoken to her about it during the break!
This has been a very hard week for FJ!, and we’ve had a lot of hard weeks as of recently. Depending on how things work out tomorrow, I hope next week is WAY better than this.
600 was the lowest payday of Season 41. 799 is no longer the lowest payday. In fact, this was the second time this season that someone wins with less than 1,000.
AS VJ NOTED IN THE RECAP, Vivek was way off with his response, Bevin’s response was incomplete and Jacob misspelled Caverns by putting an R before replacing a vowel with an A and his response was ruled incorrect.
That was painful and Jacob’s response should be added to the spelling list decisions as not accepted.
@Kevin, since you didn’t acknowledge that I had already covered that info, I fixed it for you.
This is the third triple stumper in a row! Ugh!
