- Michael, an educational therapist from California, wrote about his Jeopardy! audition on his med school application;
- Maggie, a editor-writer from New York, knows that it's good for her business that kids love to read; and
- Jason, a math teacher from New Mexico, whose name is almost on a movie poster. Jason is a five-day champ with winnings of $109,700.
This was no contest as champ Jason romped to a FJ runaway at $30,800 vs. $3,200 for both Maggie and Michael.
DD1, $400 - BEFORE & AFTER: SINGERS & WRITERS - "Hit the Road Jack" with the singer & pianist who also came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection (Jason won the window maximum of $1,000 on the first clue of the game.)
DD2, $1,600 - "ISTA" ME! - A native of Brazil's largest city (Jason won $5,000 from his total of $15,600.)
DD3 (video), $1,600 - SHARK WEEK - Shark Week divers encounter a rare sight - a bigeye type of this shark, named for a motion its tail makes as it whips its prey (Jason lost $1,000 from his score of $30,600.)
FJ - HISTORIC SHIPS - 251 passengers were rescued when it sank in July 1918, about 500 fewer than it had rescued six years earlier
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Jason dropped $3,200 to win with $27,600 for a six-day total of $137.300.
Judging the judges: For a clue about the "Fever" singer, surprised they accepted just the last name "Lee" without requiring Jason to clarify he meant Peggy and not Brenda.
Shameless shilling: There was a clue that was essentially a commercial for Grubhub, and an entire category plugging Discovery's Shark Week.
This day in Trebekistan: Alex shared his thoughts about the religious affiliation of that famous ship, the Doria Goy.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - Who is Ray Charles Darwin?
DD2 - What is (São) Paulista?
DD3 - What is thresher?
FJ - What is the Carpathia?
