Ugh. Not a dead giveaway – I said “Sabin”. Sabin and Salk were hand-in-hand in working on polio. I gambled and lost!
Good two-way game. Mike’s a definite second-chancer if that’s ever a thing again. Attorneys often do well on the show, but Ashley may have set the profession back a few years. I remember an episode of “Millionaire” in which they brought back those who’d gone out on the $100 question.
Spock came to mind first, then I quickly realized it was Salk and polio vaccine.
Stunned no one knew what body of water Normandy borders.
Didn’t know the first lady until Ashley gave her last name, then I knew her first name.
Glad to hear that Isaac does standup comedy. He’s very humorous, likable, and frequently self-effacing.
I did exceeding well in the game today along with some of the DDs. As for the FJ, the clues were obviously referring to the polio vaccine so it was a dead giveaway.
Since when was the last time a Jeopardy contestant didn’t get a single question correct at all?
She got one late, going from minus $3400 to minus $2600.
Ashley never got out of the hole and didn’t make it to Final. But Isaac has swept the week and has won the second most games of this season. Only 2 more weeks until the season finale.
I still don’t understand why contestants keep bouncing on the board. Just because of what happened last year doesn’t mean they’re going to have lots of tournaments.
