Another night, another $600 for my readers of #TDIH.
I should really start keeping track of how much money people could have picked up from my Fact Primers and TDIH posts. Tonight, we had a clue about the writer of Messiah.
Audrey is looking for her second victory, and she’s in great shape:
|
Audrey Watkins-Fox |
Talia Lavin |
Kevin Butterfield |
| 12,600 | 600 | 7,600 |
Tonight’s Final Jeopardy! category is:
| OSCAR-NOMINATED SONGS |
I felt bad for Talia – she was having serious problems with the buzzer, and I feel she might have been using a lot of energy in trying to fix that issue.
Anyway, easy night for me:
And so that you don’t have to visit any of the woefully under-researched websites claiming Talia sacrificed all of her prize money to make Alex say “Turd Ferguson,” here’s the video:
What actually happened
| Audrey | Talia | Kevin | |||
| 12,600 | 600 | 7,600 | |||
| 5,000 | 600 | 6,300 | |||
| 7,600 | 0 | 1,300 | |||
| min | max | min | max | ||
| 2,601 | 4,999 | 7,600 | |||
| 7,399 | 5,001 | ||||
Audrey has now won 2 games and $33,000.
The Final Jeopardy! clue
| OSCAR-NOMINATED SONGS |
| THIS SONG FROM A 1999 ANIMATED FILM ABOUT CENSORSHIP HAD A WORD CENSORED FROM ITS OSCAR PERFORMANCE |

Audrey’s wager is interesting for another reason: if her response of “baby grand piano” had been challenged and negged (as I think it should have, being neither three words nor ending in ‘-and’), she would have been left with 11,400 – exactly one and a half times Kevin’s score. Then she really would have had an intriguing decision as to whether to put the tie in play…
