Missed the show entirely after leaving town for the day to escape the oppressive NW heat.
Thank goodness for this recap.
Guessed FJ correctly and also the “A” car make.
Happy to see Katrina winning this game and a big congrats to Heidi getting final correct. I am very happy that we have two permanent hosts for jeopardy in ken and mayim.
It’s almost the end of the season, and they didn’t get a 2nd-day champion. Let’s hope that tomorrow’s final episode will have a new champion contestant to get a 2nd-day champion.
Tomorrow is the last game of Season 38. Let’s see if we can end the season on a high note. If Katrina wins, she’ll get to relax for the next weeks to come back to defend in the Season 39 premiere.
