    Congrats to Sarah on her win. We end this week with one day winners, one dismissal and no streakers.

    I had no idea for either Double Jeopardy round Daily Double, nor the $1,200 or $2,000 clues for the movie quote category, and I thought I was pretty good on movie quotes. Of the bottom three movie quote clues, I’ve only seen the Guy Pierce one. A humbling game.

    I’m glad Sarah didn’t write down “Lord Byron.” If she did, she would’ve finished with $7,799, same score as the winner (Heather Nelson) on the January 24, 2020 episode, aka “The Danielle Steel” episode.

      You could tell she wasn’t at all sure she was right but that was great! Lord Byron wasn’t a bad guess on the part of the guys — he actually encouraged this poet to publish this poem.
