Jeopardy!
FILM FRANCHISES // GEOGRAPHY QUIZ // SEUSS CHARACTERS À LA SEUSS // PALINDROMIC NAMES // SOUP! // JEOPARDY! IN 3-"D"
DD1 - $800 - PALINDROMIC NAMES - Born in 1888, little Irene von Bismarck-Schönhausen called her famous grandfather "Opa" this first name (Michelle added $1,000.)
Scores at first break: Rocco $1,200, Klay $1,600, Michelle $2,600.
Scores entering DJ: Rocco $2,200, Klay $3,000, Michelle $6,400.
Double Jeopardy!
WORLD HISTORY // NOW IT'S A MUSEUM // YOU'VE GOT NO BACKBONE // GET A ROOM // TOXIC CULTURE // WORDS FROM ASIAN LANGUAGES
DD2 - $2,000 - GET A ROOM - Of the rooms where Professor Plum sometimes committed board game murders, it's the one sometimes known as a greenhouse (Klay dropped $1,000 from his leading score of $13,000 vs. $9,600 for Michelle.)
DD3 - $1,600 - NOW IT'S A MUSEUM - As its name suggests it was once an administrative office for the Medicis; now it houses Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" (Rocco moved to a closer third, improving by $3,000 to $7,600.)
Klay found DD2 with the lead, made a small wager and missed, then still had enough of an advantage to remain in first into FJ at $12,000 vs. $10,000 for Michelle and $8,000 for Rocco.
Final Jeopardy!
EUROPE - The EU has 5 metropolitan regions of more than 5 million people; this city is the only one on the Mediterranean
Klay and Rocco were correct on FJ, with Klay adding $8,001 to win with $20,001.
Final scores: Rocco $14,000, Klay $20,001, Michelle $2,000.
Wagering strategy: From third place late in the game, Rocco chose to hold back $1,600 from his wager on DD3. If he missed, that amount would be very unlikely to help him, but with his correct response, it easily could have made the difference between being in second or third position going into FJ.
Triple Stumper of the day: Everyone took an incorrect guess on the "stately river" that flows southeast of Pine Bluff, the Arkansas.
Correct Qs: DD1 - What is Otto? DD2 - What is Conservatory? DD3 - What is Uffizi Gallery? FJ - What is Barcelona?
