Here are today's contestants:
- Katelyn Mueller-McLean, an accessibility audio producer from San Francisco, California;
- AJ Maroney, a beverage manager from Boston, Massachusetts; and
- Dan Laine, a software engineer from Jersey City, New Jersey. Dan is a one-day champ with winnings of $2,193.
Jeopardy!
STATE FACTS // GREEK MYTHOLOGY // TRIPLE RHYME TIME // PITTSBURGHERS // MINE, ALL MINE // THE FIFA WORLD CUP
DD1 - $800 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY - This god tried to give a gift to humans, but the spring he made produced salt water, his natural element (AJ added $1,000.)
Scores at first break: Dan $600, AJ $3,200, Katelyn $2,000.
Scores entering DJ: Dan $400, AJ $5,200, Katelyn $2,200.
Double Jeopardy!
"S"CIENCE // NEWS AGENCIES // IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT // GERMAN WORDS UND PHRASES // THAT'S 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE... // I'LL NEVER GET BACK
DD2 - $1,200 - THAT'S 2 HOURS OF MY LIFE... - A one-man show about this man who defended Leopold & Loeb, among others, is titled "A Passion for Justice" (AJ lost $2,000 down to $2,400.)
DD3 - $1,600 - NEWS AGENCIES - Meaning "the island", this news network is based in Doha, Qatar (Dan improved by $2,000 up to $2,400.)
In a low-scoring affair, AJ missed DD2 but still managed to come out slightly on top into FJ at $4,400 vs. $3,600 for Dan and $3,400 for Katelyn.
Final Jeopardy!
HEADING NORTH - If you want to visit the world’s northernmost town, know that most flights are 3 hours to or from this national capital
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Katelyn wisely played for the Triple Stumper by betting $0 and the strategy worked for a win worth $3,400.
Final scores: Dan $2,793, AJ $1,599, Katelyn $3,400.
Wagering strategy: If Dan was going to go with a small FJ wager, the better play would have been less than $200, to force Katelyn to be correct with a non-zero wager to pass him.
That's before their time: A number to choose from, but I'll go with no one knowing the transplant that David Crosby was in need of was the liver.
This day in shilling: We had another long commercial for a sporting event thinly disguised as a category for the third time in recent weeks.
Correct Qs: DD1 - Who is Poseidon? DD2 - Who was Darrow? DD3 - What is Al Jazeera? FJ - What is Oslo?
