I missed most of the show. All I saw was that creampuff of a Final Jeopardy clue.
At least, we got our 1st Triple Solve of this season, and unlike last season, we didn’t have to wait over a month for the 1st Triple Solve of the season, but still no 3 or More Time Champion. Yes, we’re still early in the new season, but better luck next time.
Robert is our man. Look at him — loses $5K+ on 2 DDs and still finishes with a $5K+ lead. 😁
VJ, your Eleanor Roosevelt clue came up tonight!
omg! That was great, Rhonda! I yelled out, “look, it’s my maiden name clue” and showed it to my daughter. She got it this time.
(No. 7 in this quiz)
That was so uncanny, VJ! I thought of you immediately, of course.
What was the clue on the show?
Here it is, mimsy:
Today on J!: IT’S A THIS DATE ($400) On March 17, 1905 this future first lady got married in New York City & didn’t even have to change her last name

In addition to at least 12 adaptations made for television, Little Women has inspired a 1918 silent film, the 1933 adaptation starring Katharine Hepburn, the 1949 June Allyson-starring version, the 1994 Winona Ryder version, the 2018 Pure Flix edition and now, the Greta Gerwig-directed 2019 edition starring Saoirse Ronam and Emma Watson.
I thought Dana had this game won but congrats to all three on getting final right. If I remember correctly,mandolin is actually a italian instrument and not from Latin America. Anyway, hopefully robert can actually string some more wins this week. It’s been at least eight days and still no five day winners yet. Was little woman ever made into a movie?
Little Women has been filmed several times. It was a hit just last year! Garnered several Oscar nominations.
