Calling this week “weird” doesn’t do it justice. How will we wrap it up?
This week’s color scheme was chosen by John Schultz; I changed tonight’s color in honor of his Friday tradition of wearing a pink shirt.
It looks like Will’s luck is about to run out – but he is still in contention by a thread.
| Will Anderson | Brad Nehring | Sarah Boulding |
| 8,000 | 15,900 | 7,000 |
Tonight’s Final Jeopardy! category is:
RIVERS
Fairly straightforward: Will needs to wager everything (or almost everything), Brad should wager at least 101, and Sarah should leave at least 201 in the bank.
What actually happened
New champ – we’ll see how he does on Monday! Have a great weekend.
The Final Jeopardy! clue
RIVERS
THIS NORTH AMERICAN RIVER FIRST SAILED BY EUROPEANS IN 1534 IS NAMED FOR A MAN WHO WAS MARTYRED IN ROME IN THE 3rd CENTURY

In the last 10 regular games (counting tonight) in which we had three players in Final Jeopardy we have the following result: In 1 case all three got it right = easy. 4 cases of 1 right + 2 cases of 2 right = 6 ok and 3 cases of 0 right = hard. So that’s a “final jeopardy degree of difficulty = just right” score of 60%. The “average degree of difficulty” score (higher is harder) is 1.90.
No triple stumper today so the “no triple stumper on FJ” streak now stands at 4 days.
Keith, I think I might have found the record for least totaled incorrect responses, it was 0 incorrect response on June 11, 2014 pitting Molly LaLonde, Darren O’Connor and Sari Laufer. Do you know how common it is for all 3 contestants to never miss a response (excluding final)?
