Jeopardy! recap for Tue., Jun. 3

 Here are today's contestants:


- Stella Trout, a software engineer originally from Houston, Texas;

- Peter Vorissis, a writer and teacher from Los Angeles, California; and

- Geoff Barnes, an analyst from Washington, D.C. Geoff is a three-day champ with winnings of $44,801.


Jeopardy!


ALL KINDS OF PHRASES // 21st CENTURY NEWS // A DOUBLE SHOT OF WHISKEY // ME & JEFF DANIELS GOT A HISTORY // DOWNTOWN NEAR FIFTH STREET // EVERYBODY'S AT THE "BAR"


DD1 - $800 - A DOUBLE SHOT OF WHISKEY - Glenfiddich & Glenlivet are famous scotches of this type, meaning produced from the barley of just one distillery (Geoff doubled to $4,000.)


Scores at first break: Geoff $6,200, Peter $1,000, Stella $2,800.


Scores entering DJ: Geoff $7,400, Peter $2,400, Stella $2,800.


Double Jeopardy!


THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM // 20th CENTURY POETRY // ANCIENT HISTORY // FROM THE KIDZ BOP VERSION // LIFE IS A 5-LETTER WORD // SAY "NO" MORE


DD2 - $1,600 - 20th CENTURY POETRY - Ezra Pound was partial to these poetic works defined as divisions of a long poem; he wrote 117 of them (Stella doubled to $8,000 vs. $7,400 for Geoff.)


DD3 - $1,200 - LIFE IS A 5-LETTER WORD - Out West, Theodore Roosevelt had a "half-melancholy feeling as I gazed upon these" beasts of a "nearly vanished race" (Stella improved by $3,000 to $23,000 vs. $7,400 for Geoff.)


Geoff led after round one, but wasn't heard from for a long time in DJ as Stella completely took over, scoring on both DDs in the round and building an impressive runaway at $25,800 vs. $10,600 for Geoff and $3,600 for Peter.


Final Jeopardy!


FAMOUS STRUCTURES - In April 2018 an MLB game was postponed after ice falling from this structure punctured the roof of Rogers Centre


Stella and Geoff were correct on FJ, with Stella adding $3,000 to win with $28,800.


Final scores: Geoff $21,199, Peter $1, Stella $28,800.


Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the "north-of-the-border" whiskey with the initials "C.C." is Canadian Club.


Wagering strategy: Geoff chose to put second money on the line by betting nearly everything, despite having more than double of third and that the game was a runaway for Stella.


One more thing: Following up on yesterday's game in which four clues were unrevealed, today's contest had three leftovers.


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is single malt? DD2 - What are cantos? DD3 - What are bison? FJ - What is the CN Tower?
