Jeopardy! recap for Mon., Apr. 29

 Here are today's contestants:


- Kirsten Lundquist, a product marketer from Burlington, Vermont;

- Ferdinand Percentie, a day trader from Altamonte Springs, Florida; and

- Amy Hummel, an ER doctor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Amy is a three-day champ with winnings of $58,195.


Jeopardy! 


LITERATURE: THE SOMETHING OF SOMETHING // COMMUNICATION // CHRONICALLY ON LINE // FUN WITH PREFIXES // GREATER THAN, LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO // DISNEY MOVIE BY LYRICS


DD1 - $1,000 - LITERATURE: THE SOMETHING OF SOMETHING - Colorful in so many ways; Civil War is hell; Henry, don't be a hero (Ferdinand added $1,000.)


Scores at first break: Amy $2,600, Ferdinand $1,200, Kirsten -$200.


Scores entering DJ: Amy $3,400, Ferdinand $3,400, Kirsten $0.


Double Jeopardy! 


PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! // TELEVISION // GETTING TERRITORIAL // NAMES IN AMERICAN HISTORY // BUSINESS ANNIVERSARIES // 3 CONSECUTIVE CONSONANTS


DD2 - $2,000 - GETTING TERRITORIAL - This territory's Winston Churchill Ave. runs to its northern border; the Carretera de la Frontera is on the other side (Ferdinand added $5,000 to his leading total of $9,400.)


DD3 - $1,600 - PUT IT IN THE LOUVRE! - A fresco featuring Venus by this 15th century Italian -- not the only time he painted her -- was rediscovered in 1873 (Ferdinand added $4,000 to his score of $13,200.)


Ferdinand and Amy were close until Ferdinand was correct on both DDs in DJ, and he continued to lead into FJ at $21,600 vs. $13,800 for Amy and $800 for Kirsten.


Final Jeopardy!


NICKNAMES - Surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku has been called this 2-word name that describes any dominant person or expert


Amy and Kirsten were correct on FJ, with Amy nearly doubling to win with $27,599 for a four-day total of $85,794.


Final scores: Amy $27,599, Ferdinand $13,799, Kirsten $1,600.


Ken's Korner: After all three players missed a clue early in the game, Ken said there's "no real penalty". That makes just as little sense as "no harm no foul". Last time I checked, if all three players miss it, they don't give them all their money back.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is "The Red Badge of Courage"? DD2 - What is Gibraltar? DD3 - Who was Botticelli? FJ - What is Big Kahuna?
