I knew that the FJ had reference to the breakup of Yugoslavia, but I didn’t remember which one of those was bordering Italy.
Wow, I’ve never seen so many stumpers on a Jeopardy game show. Good grief!
A voluminous amount of stumpers, my goodness. I got quite a few of them, including the 50th day holiday (DD), the Michelangelo film, and the word from “Home on the Range,” to name but a few.
To the players’ credit, two got FJ and I did not.
People who appear on Jeopardy should know the Presidential line of succession and every world capital. That is mandatory.
I thought about FJ for a moment. I thought of, and discarded, Slovenia. I said Czech Republic.
I didn’t focus as much on what I now see were voluminous TS as the low scoring that this was. Just not as impressive to me. I was really thinking Suresh was going to “rip and tear”!
Too many triple stumpers in Double Jeopardy (23 total and $27,800 of lach trash in both rounds)
No one got “The Presidential Line of Succession” clues and the $400 clue is missing due to the time limit in the round.
I got $14,400 in triple stumpers on today’s show. I suspect the record for triple stumpers would be in a celebrity week, but then many of those games(Trebek era) didn’t get the 58 clues in this episode still did.
Man, what a rough game today. There were 23 triple stumpers in today’s game. What’s going on players, did you not study a bit better with the categories and stuff. They struggled with the game material today. What was the record for the amount of most triple stumpers in a game?
well, all I know is that was the most triple stumpers I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it’s important to know what the record for the most whatever is all the time. I’d bet one or more of the contestants knew about half of the stumpers but weren’t reasonably sure, so they didn’t want to lose money.
Whatever, far better to keep what they had than to end up in the red! And Suresh ends up with another $10K in his asset column
