If I had been in Ricky’s dilemma having $12,000 to Scott having $22,400, I would have bet $8,000 to put me closer to Scott’s lead if I got it right.
As I commented yesterday, when two players go into Final with high totals, one is likely to take home a bucketful of cash. Italy/Switzerland came to me right away (unlike any of the DDs), but I was not the least bit certain. Thought maybe it was something weird like Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
Players left me in their wake on many of the clues tonight. I got them only on the conductor’s gesture.
I did take time out to take a quick peek at the FJ answer (which was posted above),and I instantly came up with the correct response. Yeah, it was a freebie to be sure.
Well I’m afraid that I can’t watch today’s game because of the holiday, but a happy Fourth Of July everybody!
Happy Fourth to you too, Rick. Don’t forget Jeopardy! puts the last round up on their YouTube channel later

Wow! What a game that turned out to be in Double Jeopardy! I’m glad Scott had a big payday today (Go, Somerset County!) Kudos to Ricky for giving it his all!
There was only 1 stumper in the whole second round. I put it in the Sneak Peek clues.
What a way to celebrate the 4th of July. There were certainly lots of fireworks in today’s game. 50,400 is the highest payout this season. Ricky made a big bet and it paid off but Scott retook the lead and carries it going into FJ! Ricky has to be a candidate for next season’s Second Chance cause of his spectacular performance.
