Jeopardy! recap for Fri., May 5

 Introducing today's contestants:


- Brian, a biocompatibility scientist, got in a vacation in Japan before lockdown in 2020; 

- Ashwin, an attorney, is heading to Oktoberfest for his 40th birthday; and

- Hannah, a data scientist, made a microwave background radiation therapy rug. Hannah is a two-day champ with winnings of $71,000.


Jeopardy! 


TAKE ME TO CHURCH // QUICK PLANETS // EVERYTHING'S COMING UP ROSE // SLANG EN ESPAÑOL // IT'S A TV MYSTERY// THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW WITH ELLIE KEMPER


DD1 - $600 - TAKE ME TO CHURCH - In 2023 16th St. Baptist in this city marks 150 years of the congregation, a history marred by a 1963 bombing (Ashwin lost $1,000 and fell back into a tie with Hannah for first at $1,200.)


Scores at first break: Hannah $2,800, Ashwin $1,400, Brian $400.


Scores going into DJ: Hannah $5,800, Ashwin $2,600, Brian $2.200.


Double Jeopardy! 


NORTHERN LANDS // STOCK SYMBOLS // A MUSICAL BOUQUET // "OH", YES! // DUNCE, DUNCE // REVOLUTION


DD2 - $1,200 - "OH", YES! - In physics it's the intermolecular force that holds together a liquid or solid (Hannah added $3,000 to her leading total of $4,600.)

DD3 - $2,000 - REVOLUTION - Ordinal name for the commoners who turned into a revolutionary national assembly in 1789 France (Hannah dropped $2,500 from her score of $11,200 vs. $4,600 for Brian.)


Hannah once again displayed strong DD-hunting skills, finding both in DJ but missing DD3, as the game was up for grabs into FJ with Hannah at $13,900, Ashwin with $9,800 and Brian at $7,400.


Final Jeopardy!

Final scores: Hannah $19,601, Ashwin $19,598, Brian $2.
