Today's contestants:
Alison Saunders, an architectural historian from Baton Rouge, LA | Robert Arrowood, a former realtor from Provincetown, MA | Dean Meyer, a scientific editor from Winder, GA (1-day champ, $18,700) |
(No, Alison is no relation!)
I thought Dean underbet slightly on her mid-game Daily Double; if she'd gone all-in she would have had the lead going into Final!
Scores going into Final Jeopardy!:
Robert $13,000
Dean $12,000
Alison $7,200
Final Jeopardy! category: 20TH CENTURY NOVELS
Final Jeopardy! clue: A line from this 1995 novel is “the infant glistened a scandalous shade of pale emerald”
Alison 7200 + 7100 = 14300
Dean 12000 + 12000 = 24000
Robert 13000 + 12500 = 25500
I dunno; it feels as though most of the betting was a bit of a head-scratcher to me today!
