Andy here with his third recap of in a row with no pictures!
Zachary Tomanelli and Karen Ruckert are the challengers today for Priscilla Emery, who won $18,000 yesterday!
LITERATURE CATS WOULD LOVE
TV CARTOONS
ETIQUETTE
CLEAN UP YOUR ACT
POLITICAL DEFINITIONS
ALSO ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM
I got the following Triple Stumper, under FOOTBALL TEAM $1000: British term for a gambler. Scores at the first break were:
Zachary $2,600 (4 right)
Karen $2,600 (5 right, 1 wrong)
Priscilla -$200 (3 right, 1 wrong)
I felt as though Karen's interview about trapeze artistry went on FOREVER. Was I wrong in hearing a rumour that the interview times were going to be cut down?
Back to the game, Zachary steamrolled through TV CARTOONS - though Karen got the $1,000 clue! Priscilla had trouble getting in, only ringing in once after the break before finding the Daily Double (LITERATURE $800). Scores:
Zachary $6,400
Karen $4,800
Priscilla $800
Yesterday Priscilla didn't bet the full $1000. Today, she just bet $200. Sigh. And she can call herself a Jeopardy! champion, while people like my co-blogger can not. Her clue: Kitty doesn't like the knitting so much in the Debbie Macomber book called "A good" this, but loves the threads. Her correct response put her at $1,000.
A commenter the other day asked us what caused us to root for certain contestants over others. To me: Chickening out on Daily Doubles is the easiest way for me to cheer against you. Betting big on them is the easiest way for me to get on your side very quickly.
At the end of the J! round, the scores were:
Zachary $6,400 (11 right)
Karen $5,800 (9 right, 2 wrong)
Priscilla $1,000 (5 right, 1 wrong)
DJ! round categories:
RIVERS
GO WITH THE "FLO"
TIME OF THE CAVEMAN
ACTORS IN BIOPICS
SOUTH AMERICAN HISTORY
ART AT THE GETTY CENTER
Of course, the video ART AT THE GETTY CENTER had the Daily Double, and it was Karen's to play! Scores:
Karen $10,600
Zachary $6,000
Priscilla $1,000
Karen bet $1,000. Her clue: Edouard Manet depicted national pride in the flag-lined "rue mosnier", but an amputee, perhaps a war veteran, shows the costs and sacrifices on this fete de la paix, a national holiday to celebrate France's recovery from this disastrous 1870-71 war. She said Bastille Day and fell to $9,000.
The final Daily Double was under SOUTH AMERICAN HISTORY $2000, just as Alex was giving the minute-to-go signal. Scores were:
Karen $16,800
Zachary $5,600
Priscilla $1,000
I've never seen anyone bet so quickly. She bet $2,000. Her clue: In 1888 this country abolished slavery & freed about 750,000 slaves, many of whom worked on rubber plantations. She gave a correct response and put her at $3,000.
We didn't get through all of TIME OF THE CAVEMAN (2 clues went unseen). Scores going into Final:
Karen $16,400 (12 right, 2 wrong)
Zachary $6,000 (4 right, 3 wrong)
Priscilla $3,000 (4 right, 2 wrong)
FJ! category: LITERARY TITLE CHARACTERS
FJ! clue: Lord Henry tells him, "What an exquisite life you have had!...it has not marred you. You are still the same"
Priscilla 3000 - 2999 = 1
Zachary 6000 - 1000 = 5000
Karen 16400 - 4000 = 12400
So Karen is the new champ; I'll be back tomorrow with another recap!
You may be wondering why I don't have any Tweets of the Night tonight. I didn't find any tweets I felt comfortable using. There seemed to be a lot of Karen fans, but I can't say I wanted to actually use any of them!
