Jeopardy!
LET'S PLAY SPORTS THERE! // DO THE MATH // A GARDEN PARTY // WHETHER YOU'RE A BROTHER OR WHETHER YOU'RE A MOTHER // STAYIN' ALIVE // AH, HA HA "HA"
DD1 - $1,000 - LET'S PLAY SPORTS THERE! - Site of a brief 1983 coup, this West Indies isle of spice hosted 2007 World Cup games at its National Cricket Stadium (On the first clue of the game, Cris won $1,000.)
Scores at first break: Cris $5,000, Sam $1,800, Holly $1,400.
Scores going into DJ: Cris $7,400, Sam $2,800, Holly $2,000.
Double Jeopardy!
ONLY HALF THE BATTLE // 2-WORD BOOK TITLES // OUR FLAG MEANS... // SELLIN' IT! // SOME OF THAT JAZZ // UNFRIEND
DD2 - $800 - 2-WORD BOOK TITLES - Pitcher Jim Bouton issued 50 walks in the 1969 season, so 50 times he heard this title of his season diary (Holly lost $5,600 on a true DD vs. $15,800 for Cris.)
DD3 - $800 - UNFRIEND - One who used the same stream as another led to this word for a competitor (Cris added $3,000 to his score of $22,600 vs. $5,200 for Sam.)
Holly tried to made a run at Cris by going all-in on DD2 but missed, and when Cris found DD3 late in the game it was all over, as he led into FJ with $26,400 vs. $5,200 for Sam and $3,600 for Holly.
Final Jeopardy!
STATES & THE CENSUS - The 2020 Census gave Montana a second U.S. House seat; its most populous county, this one that attracts tourists, grew 11%
Only Cris was correct on FJ, adding $12,221 to win with $38,621 for a 15-day total of $526,544.
Final scores: Cris $38,621, Sam $3,000, Holly $1.
Odds and Ends
Pop culture problems: The players missed the bottom three clues in a category about celebrity relatives, including the trio that had a 2019 hit with "Happiness Begins" the Jonas Brothers.
Judging the writers: If they must have a category as lazy as the one about commercial slogans, could they at least put it in the first round?
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Grenada? DD2 - What is "Ball Four"? DD3 - What is rival? FJ - What is Yellowstone County?
