I don’t get it; we had a slew of tough FJs this week, and now this no brainer.
I mean, the Mont Bellevue de L’inini was a dead giveaway.
@Rick, I don’t think it would have been a dead giveaway if the word Amazon wasn’t in the clue though
I have to concur, VJ. I thought that his comment was hyperbole.
That would be true, but the mountain more or less pinpointed the country.
The returning champ got 2 daily doubles wrong and the correct response in the Final (Elanor spelled the same last word as David). He winds up in 3rd place and goes home for only $3,000. Elanor won almost $21,000 in the game and today’s new returning champion to finish the week.
Happy to see a triple solve today. Congrats to all three players.
I am sure that William Weyser would say darn those daily doubles to David.
William Weyser, Thank you. Without your wish yesterday I doubt we would have finally gotten a triple solve. The drought has come to an end on day 60. 😄
It’s called a spoiler.
You’re welcome, Jacob.
Today’s game was the first since April 8 with all 3 players getting Final Jeopardy! correct, ending a 59-game streak. We finally have our first triple solve. We had three triple stumpers this week but thank goodness the end of the week saved us from another small payday.
