I was really hoping for Lindsay. Maybe she gets a second chance invite.
Final was just WAY too vague, and using the word “fabled” was not the best. Likewise, what’s the deal with the horse and buggy? In any case, I didn’t get it.
The FJ was confusing to say the least, and which might have explained why it stumped the contestants. Anyways, it was another good game though, and I did reasonably well.
That was a tough final which ended in a double stumper.
Missed all but FJ, so didn’t see the future PhD implode. Nasty final again. Ponce de Leon is a historic spot?
2/3 DDs and a few stumpers are all I can claim. Jolly escapade/prank; type of number (really?); Hood minus in/steal (come on); saintly resort town; Chevy Chase president; Orphan Annie phrase all there for the taking, and more than enough to have gotten future Dr. Tim out of the hole and give him at least a semblance of self-esteem.
All those misses in that Bird category were just koo koo
Since when did we ever have a regular Jeopardy contestant who did not get any correct responses at all in the entire game?
There was a man that ended up -7500! Maybe a year or two ago.
Wait, you’re talking about Patrick Pearce who appeared on Jeopardy during LeVar Burton’s first episode as a guest host and he had set a low scoring record at negative $7,400. There was a female contestant named Erin who finished at negative $7,200 which was a couple hundred dollars behind the aforementioned contestant.
-$3,600 at the end of the first round is the lowest score ever that we seen in the history of the show and it’s a record. Tim must be the unluckiest player ever in the show’s history. Only 1 correct and 5 incorrect and Tim never got out of the hole. He can really say I goofed up big time because he’s most likely the last player this season to get dismissed. Only 3 games left of the season.
