Jeopardy! recap for Wed., Nov. 19

 Here are today's contestants:


- Matylda Urbaniak, a law student from Queens, New York;

- Josh Chen, a stay-at-home dog dad from Arlington, Virginia; and

- Harrison Whitaker, a researcher originally from Terre Haute, Indiana. Harrison is a six-day champ with winnings of $182,600.


Jeopardy!


GREATER L.A.: CULTURAL MELTING POT // POTPOURRI // THAT'S GOTTA BE A MYTH // THE COUNTY LINE // I HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE // &/OR


DD1 - $1,000 - &/OR - Quell & suppress, or a racquet sport (Harrison lost $1,000.)


Scores at first break: Harrison $3,200, Josh $3,400,  Matylda $2,200.


Scores entering DJ: Harrison $5,200, Josh $4,800, Matylda $3,600.


Double Jeopardy!


TITLES IN HISTORY // 20th CENTURY NOVELS THAT GOT FILMED // "-GRAM" PICS // ORGANIZATIONS // TELEVISION // LAW SCHOOL WITH JOHN GRISHAM


DD2 - $800 - TITLES IN HISTORY - Though he runs Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman still has this 2-word royal title as on tape day his father continues to live & reign (Josh doubled to $8,800.)


DD3 - $800 - 20th CENTURY NOVELS THAT GOT FILMED - In a 1972 novel Joanna tries to shake up the wives of this suburb but ends up as glassy-eyed as the rest (Harrison improved by $5,400 to $21,800 vs. $10,400 for Josh.)


Harrison wore down his opponents in DJ, pretty much putting it away on DD3 and leading into FJ with $26,600 vs. $12,800 for Josh and $5,200 for Matylda.


Final Jeopardy!


MOVIE CHARACTERS - The novelization of a 1977 movie awarded this character a medal at the end, righting a perceived wrong


Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Harrison dropped $999 to win with $25,601 for a seven-day total of $208,201.


Final scores: Harrison $25,601, Josh $12,795, Matylda $5,200.


That's before their time: No one could identify a photo of "Coward of the County" singer and "roast chicken magnate" Kenny Rogers.


Judging the writers: Having a DJ category about movies that includes a DD, and for FJ to also be about movies seems to focus the most important clues too narrowly on one topic.


Ken's Korner: Was he really that surprised by Josh's true Daily Double on DD2 with $4,400?


Correct Qs: DD1 - What is squash? DD2 - What is Crown Prince? DD3 - What is Stepford? FJ - Who is Chewbacca?
