Sneak Peek clues — FROM BOOK TO RETITLED FILM

Sorry but today was Matt 31st game win
He had won 31 games going into today’s game. Not hard to figure out what today’s win gave him.
I was surprised the Frankfurt Börse was a triple stumper. A Business major would have gotten this which shows Jeopardy clues are only easy if they are in your wheelhouse.
@VJ, sometimes when Matt pauses after he buzzes in I think about how Alex Jacob used to drive you crazy doing that while rubbing his lower back at the same time. He would wait until the last second to respond. That was too funny. 😂😂
Lol, Jacob. I always thought that Alex Jacob was counting the seconds he had left to answer and I still think that’s what tripped him up on that one DD he knew the answer to in the All Stars Game. He miscounted.
He has now tied James Holzhauer’s record of 32 games.
I love your site, VJ! It is very nice! I love it!
Just asking if any of your kids watched The Shrek Series before just because my brother loves it and he’s obviously a fan. Also, did your kids watch The Wizard of Oz before? It’s a very good 1939 movie and I think you should watch it. It is a true recommendation to you.
Thanks, Darius. Yes, we have all seen The 1939 Wizard of Oz. It came on TV once a year when I was a kid and we never missed it. I bought the film and now it’s in my Amazon library.
Cool, VJ! That was a physical favorite when I watched it once.
Um you forgot the scores at the end of the Double Jeopardy round. But still congrats to Matt for tying No. 2 spot in number of consecutive games won.
Thanks, Kevin, they’re in there now
In case you missed this message, please send complaints, suspicions and accusations directly to Jeopardy!
Actually Matt won 31 games so today should read 31 time champ Matt amodio VJ. Still the wonderful wizard of oz reminded me of what that wicked witch said I will get you my pretty and your little dog too. That line certainly brought back a lot of memories. Anyway congrats to Matt on winning game 32 and now we can watch him add another one tomorrow.
@Lou, My favorite character in the Wizard of Oz is the Cowardly Lion — “put ’em up! put ’em up!”
btw, I saw an episode of Gunsmoke last week featuring Margaret Hamilton (the Wicket Witch of the West). There’s a blooper scene on YouTube where she cracks everyone up with her ad-lib
I don’t understand this VJ. Why don’t you want a debate about all things J! on your site as long as the debate is within the confines of politeness, and even if the debate is about complaints, suspicions, or accusations?
It would only add to the popularity of the site if more people came and shared their opinion about some controversy.
I’m fine with polite debate, klm. The problem is it escalates so quickly (or perhaps I should say deteriorates). There was a really rude comment on here this morning. I was at the eye doctor’s when I saw it and couldn’t deal with it til I got home. I am not going to delete any remarks that are not rude and out of line.
The other thing that gets on my nerves is no matter how many times it is explained, proven even (like the leading article issue and responses in the form of a question), some people still insist on griping about it to no good purpose. (half-joking — Maybe if enough people complain to the show, they’ll change those rules.)
Posting one’s opinion politely has always been fine on this site, even if it is an unpopular opinion, but people do get carried away. About 6 years ago, remarks made by a small number of posters were unfairly singled out to represent all the posters on here. This site never was another Twitter and I never wanted it to be perceived that way. But I believe the line has to be drawn somewhere and I hope you understand.. In case you don’t know, other sites that cover Jeopardy! do not allow anyone to say anything negative about the contestants. For example, there is a large audience on reddit/jeopardy that prefers it that way.
thanks VJ. as a true fikklefamer i will abide by what you say and not get carried away even though i don’t like the way Mr. Amodio is belittling the game.
thank you, klm, I really appreciate it.
