Wow, great job Matt! $101,400 in 3 days is $33,800 per day!
As I recall, one of the answers last night concerned a movie with something about a tiger. Can anyone remember the answer? Thank you.
LITERARY GEOGRAPHY ($200) Bernard Cornwell’s low-born soldier has his first adventure in “Sharpe’s Tiger”, which takes place in this Asian land during British rule
Rachel: What is India?
I thought matt was another ken jennings but when matt missed the final i realized that matt probably won’t win more than 20 games. Literature is a huge deal on the show and matt showed his achilles elbow with the mr darcy miss.
Amazing what minutiae the brain can retain. I’ve never read or watched anything by Jane Austen, but my wife was a big fan of every iteration of “Pride and Prejudice.” So I took a stab at “Mr. Darcy,” even though I had no idea exactly who he was (probably the love interest).
Tonight’s challengers were decent, but no match for Matt, who steamrolled them a la Holzhauer and Jennings.
I came up with ‘The Great Gatsby’ so I was way off. Oh well!
Even though things didn’t work out in FJ!, Matt Amodio is still the 15th player to have won at least $100,000 in 3 days.
Tough FJ as we finished the week with a triple stumper. As usual, nobody knows about literary characters.
If anyone here reads pride and prejudice, this wasn’t a tough final because in 2005 Kiera Knightly and Judi Dench starred in the movie based on the book. Mr Bennet wasn’t a bad guess but Prudence is from Parasol Protectorate and does not have a guy owning a house. With a 100K win under matt’s belt, this is the third highest payout win since James Holzhauer also passed that big number as well, I think he definitely has a good shot at hitting 200K VJ.
Well we finished the week with a tough FJ! but Matt has made it to the 100,000 mark in just 3 games and we are only 3 weeks away until the season 37 finale of Jeopardy!
