Jeopardy!

Double Jeopardy!
AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE // GRAINS OF SALT // "-ED" CREATURES // FROM THE GREEK // GOOD READS // CELEBRITY FIRST NAME GAME
DD2 - $2,000 - FROM THE GREEK - If my math is correct, it comes in part from Greek for "earth survey" (Josh lost $3,400 from his score of $12,400 vs. $2,000 for Neha.)

Final Jeopardy!
LANDMARKS - This landmark features a relief of Agrippa approving the design of an aqueduct as well as Pietro Bracci's statue of Oceanus
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Josh bet $0, winning with $21,000 for a five-day total of $80,202.
Final scores: Josh $21,000, Neha $5,599, David $799.
Clue selection strategy: Except for one other top-row clue, there was a full category in DJ that went completely untouched until the final six clues with DD3 still on the board.
Jeopardy!'s greatest hits: "The Good Earth" made its third appearance of the season, adding to the over three-dozen times it's been used in clues going back to 1984.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Battle of the Nile? DD2 - What is geometry? DD3 - Who was Gandhi? FJ - What is Trevi Fountain?
