Wow – unusually, I got well over half the TS correct. However, missed FJ. I said “Rackozy March” (which isn’t even plural).
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – if one wagers $1500 on a DD, they won’t win. Unscientific, but whatever!
I can only imagine the Twitter abuse aimed at Mayim if she had a reversal and that weird edit in a game. Ha ha ha
At least Elliott made over 20K in his one game. That’s like two games the way these payouts have been lately.
To call that an uneven game would be a bit of an understatement.
Elliott, who I thought had great potential to be a multi-day champ, never recovered from his two pronunciation gaffes. Chuck’s effort to catch up was brave but in vain. And Kate, who started out like a house afire, did just enough after that to ensure a runaway.
This had to be the rare time when I knew all 3 DDs that were missed. (FJ was WAY out of my wheelhouse, though.) Originally from the Northeast, I have great familiarity with the Ivy schools and their locations.
There was a very awkward insertion after Elliott’s goof on the first DD. Seemed obvious to me that Ken first allowed his response, then the judges overruled him, stopped the tape, and had Ken make the correction. Normally those changes are made during the breaks, as Chuck’s misquote was.
Aside from the DDs, the smooth fox dog was not a challenge, same with the strolling of the heifers and Spanish for all the world
Another runaway game by the challenger and new Jeopardy champion after all players got incorrect final responses. Today, all DDs and FJs were incorrect, resulting in the 6TH TOTAL WASHOUT of the season.
Elliott was so close on the first daily double. He added the letter “N” to the word Alaska.
This happened a few times in Jeopardy’s history.
Have a safe 4th of July!
Also, only $17,600 for our combined coryat score for today, which makes me frustrated.
Not only that, but it is our first total washout on the 4th of July since 2006.
That was an unimpressive game. All 3 DDs were missed resulted our seventh skunking and another triple stumper in the final resulted our sixth total bust of wagering clues this season.
Happy 4th of July to you.
