Here are the Final Jeopardy questions and answers for the week of May 3rd through May 7, 2021:

Mon, May 3 – Correct answers: 1
19TH CENTURY AMERICANS: His book “An Overland Journey from New York to San Francisco in the Summer of 1859” shows he heeded his own famous advice show

Tue, May 4 – Correct answers: 1
WORLD LITERATURE: This 1970s memoir told of harsh places that metaphorically were like an island chain “from the Bering Strait almost to the Bosporus” show

Wed, May 5 – Correct answers: 2
CLASSIC ALBUMS: The title of this huge hit 1977 album was the idea of the bass player, who specified it should be spelled the British way show

Thu, May 6 – Correct answers: 0 (out of 2 left in FJ!)
COUNTRIES’ NATIONAL ANTHEMS: With words written by a Bishop of Urgell, its anthem praises Charlemagne & says it “was born a princess… between two nations” show

SHAKESPEARE & HISTORY: Macbeth has a vision of a line of 8 Scottish kings, the 8th holding a mirror to reflect this 9th in line who may have been in the audience
show

Two right responses in one day was the most we saw this week and only once. Only one person got FJ! on 3 other days and nobody got it the day that only 2 players were left standing at the end of Double Jeopardy! I didn’t think any of these clues were particularly hard. For the easiest, I guess I’ll give the nod to Monday’s “Go West” clue.

Emily Sands returned on Monday and won one more game. She was defeated by Hanna Howard on Tuesday and Hanna lost to Jamie Logan on Wednesday. Jamie won another game but lost to Juliet Mayer on Friday. Juliet will be back next Monday to help kick off Bill Whitaker’s last week of hosting.
