    Not only were the 3 DDs relative creampuffs, but the Final was basic world history. Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand kicked off WWI. (“Sudden” was a big part of the clue. Gotta keep rooting for Courtney because I also live in Portland.

    As a medical doctor i am surprised that austin did not bet it all on the Science DD.

    I took the online test on saturday and got a 44 or 45 out of 50.

    Oh drat! I came up with 1918 for the final question so I was four years off.

  4. Lou says:

    That 1500 response will definitely haunt spencer after this. I guess he got confused by the dates VJ. Congrats to Courtney on her win but I doubt she could get three wins. Overall I would love to see Austin win again if he had not bet anything since he had a strong lead.

      Oh yeah, Lou. You’re right. But I also doubt she will even be a 6x champ or a 5x champ or make it to the Jeopardy! Tournament ot Champions. We have been WAITING… SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG… for a 4x champ or a 5x champ ever since early February of this year. I doubt there will ever be one in the future, too…

  5. JP says:

    Which one? I’m guessing the California city one? I was stumped on that one at first until I reformulated it as “Which well-known California city is almost exclusively known for its college?” In other words, ignoring everything in the clue except “this California college town”. I’m guessing that’s what the writers were expecting, because the rest of the info in the clue seems pretty obscure.

      OMG… I haven’t watched it yet. I know Jeopardy! airs at like 7:30pm or even 9:30pm or 12:00am at midnight in my area, but I still saw that a LOT of people were stumped through that dang Final Jeopardy! clue. Also, that Daily Double that Courtney got wrong was so very hard!

    OMG… that daily double was hard…
