Here are today's contestants:
- Dana Keane, an attorney from Sarasota, Florida;
- Isaac Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California; and
- Kelly Proulx, a non-profit communications director from Billerica, Massachusetts. Kelly is a one-day champ with winnings of $16,801.
Jeopardy!
PICTURE THE HIT SONG // 20th CENTURY AMERICAN HISTORY // A LONELY WORD // THE NAME DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING // READ 'EM & WEEP // MELTDOWN
DD1 - $800 - MELTDOWN - In Exodus 32 this was fashioned out of melted-down jewelry (Dana dropped $1,500.)
Scores at first break: Kelly $1,600, Isaac $2,800, Dana $2,200.
Scores entering DJ: Kelly $3,600, Isaac $4,000, Dana $3,900.
Double Jeopardy!
SCIENCE STUFF // PROCLAMATIONS // "GR"8 WORDS // PAINTINGS // DON'T GO, JASON // WATERFALLS
DD2 (video) - $1,200 - PAINTINGS - (Shown is a painting of a bird perched on top of a container attached to a wall) Following all of the publicity from a 2013 novel, this painting was moved to a larger gallery at the Mauritshuis in The Hague (Isaac added $4,000 to his score of $9,200 vs. $7,600 for Kelly.)
DD3 - $1,200 - PROCLAMATIONS - Screening "Pillow Talk", Cincinnati proclaimed Sept. 27, 2017 this repetitive occasion to honor a beloved star & hometown girl (Issac dropped $4,000 from his total of $15,000 vs. $9,200 for Kelly.)
Isaac had his lead reduced by missing DD3, recovered nicely to get to the edge of a runaway, then when Kelly was ruled incorrect on the last clue of DJ, Isaac was home free with $19,800 vs. $8,300 for Dana and $8,000 for Kelly.
Final Jeopardy!
HISTORIC WOMEN - In the 16th century, she changed the 'ew' in her family name to a 'u' to help her new French in-laws spell it more easily
Not only was everyone incorrect on FJ, no one even had a guess. Isaac dropped $615 to win with $19,185.
Final scores: Kelly $7,000 Isaac $19,185, Dana $300.
Tough break dept.: The ruling against Kelly for saying "Bridalveil Falls" with an "s" was especially unfortunate, since there are places called "Bridal Veil Falls" in several other states. Fortunately, the penalty did not wind up negatively impacting the outcome for Kelly.
One more thing: Isaac's FJ response brought to mind the last words of Joseph of Arimathea, who apparently instead of just saying "aaarrrrggh", took the time to carve it into a rock.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is the golden calf? DD2 - What is "The Goldfinch"? DD3 - What is Doris Day Day? FJ - Who was Mary, Queen of Scots? (Isaac wrote "Who is Uhhh").
