Jeopardy! 

ALASKAN CITIES // SINGING THROUGH THE CENTURIES // REALITY & COMPETITION TV SHOWS // GOING DEEP ON THE FAST FOOD MENU // SORRY, NO SHAKE TODAY // THE MACHINE'S BROKEN

DD1 - $800 - SINGING THROUGH THE CENTURIES - Plato called her "The Tenth Muse", & her epithalamia or nuptial songs still inspire passion (Ian lost $1,000 on a true DD.)

Scores at first break: Ian -$1,200, Aimée $2,400, John $1,800.

Scores entering DJ: Ian $1,000, Aimée $3,800, John $2,600.

Double Jeopardy! 

HISTORIC WOMEN // TIME FOR SOME DRAMA // AN "A" IN PSYCHOLOGY // JOIN UP! // MOVIE OUTLAWS // PREFIXES

DD2 - $2,000 - AN "A" IN PSYCHOLOGY - Broca's & Wernicke's are 2 types of this condition in which language use & speech are impaired (From the lead, John forgot his phrasing and lost $5,400 on a true DD.)

DD3 - $800 - HISTORIC WOMEN - Daughter of a bear-keeper in this city, Theodora married Justinian I in 525 & became the Byzantine Empire's most powerful woman (John added $1,600 to his score of $3,600 vs. $3,000 for Ian.)

In a rough game, John was incorrect on an all-in bet on DD2 because he forgot his phrasing, so the contest remained alive into FJ with John at $5,600 vs. $3,400 for Ian and $600 for Aimée.

Final Jeopardy!

NEWS FROM THE STORK - One of the 10 or so babies born at Argentina’s Esperanza Base in this place was fittingly named Marisa de las Nieves

John and Ian were correct on FJ. John added $2,201 to win with $7,801.

Final scores: Ian $5,601, Aimée $2, John $7,801.

That's before their time/Pedantry Corner: No one could complete the classic boxing referee's instruction, "Shake hands and come out fighting". Note that the clue also referred to a book title which does include "and", although that word was not mentioned by Ken when giving the correct response.

Judging the writers: This was one of those days when the writers decided the FJ category shouldn't tell us anything about the kind of knowledge we would need to solve the clue.

Correct Qs: DD1 - Who is Sappho? DD2 - What is aphasia? DD3 - What is Constantinople? FJ - What is Antarctica?
