We almost went 0-for-3 on the DDs.
Somewhat disappointing game. The challengers were competent, especially Jayaker who had the lead but produced too many errors to stay close. Kind of a shame he nailed Final but didn’t win. (I too had JP Morgan as a guess.)
I thought that disallowance of Drew’s response was ridiculous, and should have been reversed. Thought one of them would know the very famous female historian and the Senate soup. The Congressional law enforcement officer wasn’t all that difficult.
I agree about the Congressional law enforcement officer. That was a gimme imo. Btw, Drew is quick on the buzzer. Sharp young man.
On the US Senate menu, it says “Senate Bean Soup”. I wonder if they would have given it to me.
Since I know a guy that works for the Congressional LEO, that one was easy.
The first DD, Ben Chan was calling!
I never once thought that Harland Sanders ever served in the military, but I did know that he was given the distinction of being given an honorary title of ‘Colonel’. Well, many Americans suspected that he was never a colonel in the military. Anyways, all I could think of was Douglas MacArthur which wasn’t a bad guess since the esteemed general did own some plantations in the Philippines.

Did Drew win on Jeopardy
Yes.
You’ve got the Round 1 Categories and Round 2 Categories the same.
Drew had 4,600 at the end of the first round because there was a reversal that happened in Round 1.
Thanks Kevin!
