Let's meet today's contestants:
- Anji, a social media coordinator, is a "cool aunt" who has been outgrown;
- Aubrey, a high school English teacher, is from a family of teachers; and
- Kate, a corporate communications specialist, sings, plays cello and is from a musical family. Kate is a one-day champ with winnings of $11,513.
Jeopardy!
BORN ON THE 5th OF JULY // ALL SHAPES & SIZES // U.S. CITY OF THE BOOK // OPPOSITES // ART & ARTISTS // WORLD OF FOOD
DD1 - $1,000 - U.S. CITY OF THE BOOK - "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil": Go South! (Kate lost $201 from her score of $800.)
Scores at first break: Kate $199, Aubrey $1,000, Anji $1,800.
Scores going into DJ: Kate $1,799, Aubrey $200, Anji $2,000.
Double Jeopardy!
NATIONS' LAST MONARCHS // RHYMING PHRASES // MEMOIRS // RELIGION // MATH ABBREVIATIONS & SYMBOLS // WHO ARE "U"?
DD2 - $1,600 - RHYMING PHRASES - Meaning by any mean necessary, this 5-word phrase ends with a shepherd's tool. (Aubrey dropped $1,400 from his total of $8,200 vs. $4,999 for Kate.)
DD3 - $1,600 - RELIGION - In this religious group, "High Church", such as the Oxford Movement, is more like Catholicism & "Low Church" is less so (Kate added $1,101 to her score of $5,799 vs. $6,800 for Aubrey.)
Kate took a small lead with a correct response to DD3, but didn't score again in the rest of DJ, so Aubrey regained first place into FJ at $11,200 vs. $6,900 for Kate and $4,800 for Anji.
Final Jeopardy!
AFRICAN COUNTRIES - Nicknamed “the kingdom in the sky”, this landlocked nation is the only country in the world to lie entirely above 4,000 feet
Only Anji was correct on FJ, adding $4,000 to win with $8,800.
Final scores: Kate $0, Aubrey $8,599, Anji $8,800.
Odds and Ends
Triple Stumper of the day: In the category about last names starting with "U", no one knew the Indy 500-winning racing family of Bobby, Al and Al Jr. are the Unsers.
Ken's Korner: He was clearly interested in talking about Kate's musical family, as the conversation went on for about 40 seconds, unusual for a Jeopardy! contestant interview. This length, along with a high number of Triple Stumpers, might have contributed to there being a leftover at the end of DJ.
Oddity dept.: As a result of Kate's wager of $201 on DD1, a couple of times she showed a score of -$1.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Savannah? DD2 - What is by hook or by crook? DD3 - What is Episcopalianism (Church of England, Anglicanism)? FJ - What is Lesotho?
