Jeopardy! recap for Fri., Jun. 4

 Introducing today's contestants:


- Whitney, a content strategist, wore an Olympic gold medal;

- Susie, a homemaker, showed "Casablanca" after winning a radio contest; and

- Julia, an attorney, wore a necklace that goes back in her family. Julia is a one-day champ with winnings of $16,450.


Susie tried to move from last to first on DD3 but missed, so Julia maintained the lead going into FJ with $12,800 vs. $7,600 for Susie and $7,100 for Whitney.


DD1 - $1,000 - BEHIND THE SONG - In 1940 Woody Guthrie wrote this song because he was sick of hearing "God Bless America" (Susie won $1,400 on a true DD.)


DD2 - $1,200 - CINEMATIC CITIES & TOWNS - When Nicole Kidman & Matthew Broderick move to this town in a 2004 remake, the neighborhood wives seem a tad robotic (Whitney won $2,500 from her score of $5,000 vs. $6,000 for Julia)

DD3 - $1,200 - EARS TO YOU - The ear's semicircular canals help maintain this, partly from the Latin for "balance" (Susie lost $4,000 from her third-place total of $6,800 vs. $9,200 for Julia.)


FJ - 17th CENTURY WRITING - This 17th century work quotes the Book of Job, “Behold the giants groan under water, and they that dwell with them”


Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Julia dropped $3,000 to win with $9,800 for a two-day total of $26,250.


Overpriced clue of the day: $2,000 for knowing the 1946 movie with the town of Bedford Falls/Pottersville is "It's a Wonderful Life".


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "This Land is Your Land"? DD2 - What is Stepford? DD3 - What is equilibrium? FJ - What is "Leviathan"?
