CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS



Alex: David Greisman is a boxing writer who once covered Tyson's last fight. And I understand that Tyson wasn't very nice to you at the press conference afterwards.

David: No. Mike Tyson was fighting Kevin McBride, and he kept on fouling McBride before giving up. And I asked him about the fouls afterward, and he looked at me and said, [as Mike Tyson] "Man... I was desperate. I wanted to win." [Normal voice] And then he said something I can't say here.

Alex: Well, you're lucky he didn't try to bite your ear.

David: That's true.

Alex: Okay.




Alex: Michelle Chick is an administrative assistant from Michigan. Took a motorcycle endorsement class just before you were getting married. Why would you do that?

Michelle: Well, I wanted to get my endorsement so that I could get a motorcycle as soon as possible.

Alex: But that's kind of dangerous.

Michelle: Well, uh, my husband, Keith, and I were both fairly confident in my skills, and we figured if something did happen, well, the cast would match the dress.

[Laughter]

Alex: Got that? White cast. White dress. Okay.




Alex: Aggie Lee is an attorney from Los Angeles who spent two years traveling through the Far East. Where exactly, and what was the purpose of this two-year trip?

Aggie: Oh, I spent two years living in Nanchang, China, where I earned a graduate degree--certificate, actually. And so, part of that experience was traveling all around Asia. So we went pretty much everywhere except for India and...

Alex: Now, are you of Chinese descent?

Aggie: Um, I'm Korean. Korean. Yes.

Alex: Korean descent. Okay. All right.

Aggie: So, we did go to Korea.

JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Aggie found the Daily Double on the 25th clue. Aggie had $1,800, Michelle had $4,000, and David was at $5,200. Aggie wagered $1,600.

WHISTLE PAIN

WHICH CABINET DEPARTMENT? $600: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(David: What is Treasury?)

THE DAWN OF THE ATOMIC AGE $800: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew presents the clue from Los Alamos, NM.) The stress of running the administrative & scientific size of the project of producing the bomb wore this Los Alamos lab director down to 116 pounds by July 1945

THE DAWN OF THE ATOMIC AGE $1000: Surely you're joking! Not yet 28, he was a group leader in the theoretical division of the A-bomb push

SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND

Michelle: $4,400
Aggie: $3,400

(David: What is honeymoon?)

FINAL JEOPARDY! CATEGORY
BODIES OF WATER

VENUSIAN MONOLOGUES/MARTIAN CHRONICLES
Four-fifths for first place.
Aggie: Wager $9,401 to cover Michelle.
Michelle: You're faced with a legitimate choice in strategy. You can either choose to cover David, hoping that you give the correct response and Aggie doesn't, in which case you'll want to wager $4,201 to cover David's doubled score, but no more than $7,800 if you want to top Aggie on a Triple Stumper; or bet up to $3,399 and win if both Aggie and David miss Final.
David: If you think Michelle is going to wager to cover you, try wagering less than $800 to beat Aggie and Michelle on the Triple Stumper; or, if you think Michelle is going to wager small in hopes of a Triple Stumper, wager between $3,401 (venusian, to top a $0 wager by Michelle) and $7,600 (martian, which may win in some cases but may also risk dropping you from second to third place if you get Final wrong).

FINAL JEOPARDY! CLUE

Thought for sure I'd bomb the NBA category, but I went 3/5 there.

White Plains was IMO a massive jump in difficulty in the New York category. I could probably name about 500 New York towns before White Plains hit my radar.

Ran Kitchen Confidential. Sashimi is one of very many words I learned from TV Tropes.

Embarrassed that I couldn't get "this" in Pronouns. Word that's common in J! clues? Huh?!?... Oh, derp.

4/5 in "H"orizon, with Lach Trash on Hospitality and Horology.

I thought the Potpourri category was very Sheldon Cooperish. Any reason I should know $400 is "weigh" and not "hoist"? That one in particular seemed neg-bait-y.

Completely lost on FJ!

1) Why was horse-drawn nor acceptable?

2) How was that not a triple get?

The one-and-done streak continues! What a roller-coaster of a game though. When Aggie ended up in the lead at the end I just thought "wasn't she floundering just a second ago?" Well done David. Hope you enjoy the champ's podium tomorrow because clearly it's not going to last.

Wasn't terribly excited about anything that came up today to be honest. When Alex explained the Horizon category I made an almighty grimace. Strange one that. I said "hosting" instead of "hospitality". I know "suite!" was the kicker, but would I have gotten it?

That aside though, glad to see the FJ clue cement the age-old truth that it only counts when a white person discovers it. Because there is no way in hell anybody had encountered the Bering Strait before 1648, nosiree. I tried to think of a body of water named after Tycho Brahe for a bit and then Bering came to me.

Happy American thanksgiving.

Four instagets after a 3-for-10 TOC. I don't know if that means anything, since this week's FJs have been pretty easy, but it makes me feel a lot better.

I found it kind of odd that there were two wordplay-ish categories in the J! round, with the NBA and NY cities one. Both categories turned out to be easy, and I loved that the contestants went right to the NBA one!

FJ was an instant get. I thought that it was an easy clue, but geography seems to be a category that people love or hate, so I wasn't a complete shock that the contestants were 1/3.

I don't thing the Bering Sea was renamed along with the Bering Strait. Unless the names were changed at the same time I don't know if that would fly.

I was torn; I think because the TOM was so weak and little to indicate either would have been accepted, mostly I think they looking for Vitus Bering.

Aggie could have won by betting nothing, since David had the sole get yet failed to cover a wager of $0 by the leader.

Horse-drawn age has to be correct. The clue used the dictionary definition of horse-and-buggy, but that doesn't mean there can't be another acceptable term for it. The response needed a hyphen and horse-drawn is hyphenated. So what exactly rules it out?

I don't think of fog as being colorful. :) The Native Americans used a name that translated into white marshes before the settlers called it The White Plains. It goes back a long way.

Atomic age was easy. Only glitch was forgetting that Gadget refers to the Trinity test, but all I needed to see was the spherical shape used for implosion devices to make it plutonium.

That's why I had almost no confidence in my response. But I couldn't think of anything else to put down.

LOL TPH it is a maritime phrase; "Weigh anchors, run out the yards and hoist the mains'ls, me hearties!" ...Pirate code stuff...

Instaget FJ. Was torn between choosing 'strait' and 'sea'; there is also an island named for Vitus Bering, where he was laid to rest on his last expedition. He was sent by Czar Peter the Great to find out whether Russia had a land bridge with America, so that seemed like the best choice, although I wonder if Bering Sea might be accepted- ideas?

Fantastic holiday game for goatherds, took 44 (22 in each board!) and FJ; 45/61 = 74%, with lach trash on Oppenheimer, Simon Bolivar, weigh, Turquoise coast, Goethe, Wm Bligh as Governor, New South Wales, Franks = tribes of Gaul. Nearly test-ready, intensive study prep in progress!

Interesting clues taken FTW from 4th podium including: Golden 'Apples' = translation of tomato (pomodoro); albacore white tuna, sashimi (take it easy on the wasabi, Mater!); 3/5 on word puzzles (Albany/Buffalo/Niagara Falls); Agree that White Plains was a long reach! Took 'This', Mine, 'Whom and Leaves of Grass > 'Myself', from Walt Whitman; gave 'none' for nobody so took a miss on one.
Got Depts of State, Justice, and Interior (Dad used to work for them lol) didn't reach far enough to get Labor but if SSA is part of that & manage pension plans makes sense. Can't claim Education for English she beat me on the buzzer.

The Los Alamos category was 4/5; I missed the run not recognizing Richard Feinman, I was like; "Is that Teller? He looks too young!" So passed on it, but instaget Oppenheimer ("I have become Death, destroyer of worlds!") = Father of the Manhattan Project, which I also got of course, and Nagasaki = Fat Man (Hiroshima = Little Boy) and Pu-239 = Plutonium. Fascinating how when you read up on stuff it shows up the same day; I prepped science and elements in Ferrill's book today waiting for turkey and BAM! there it was, lol.

DJ: Instaget Simon Bolivar, controlling S. AM in 1825, painful to watch this poor girl struggle with it, my heart aches for the unprepared contestants but I'm glad they come that way b/c there can be only one! Got Batu Khan = Mongol invasion, sacked Kiev 1240, Muhammed fled to Medina (Not Mecca, negbait for that, be careful!) from where he established the Islamic order; and the Mutiny in New South Wales against Capt Wm Bligh; following his acquittal at a board of inquiry by the Royal Navy, he was eventually appointed as Governor to NSW where he incited the Rum Rebellion with more stubborn unpopular directives, lol.

Instagets in lit: Katniss Everdeen (sister: Prim/Primrose, for whom she took the challenge in book 1; Panem is the place and Suzanne Collins wrote it, tuck all that away in ur bonnet!) and Adele Varens > Jane Eyre (Adele is her hyperactive French pupil); Judy Blume; "Are you there God? It's me Margaret (Simon)" Fantine = Pt !; Cosette = Pt 2 in Les MIs; Constance Reid = Lady Chatterley. Ran the cat.

Horse-and-buggy came to mind but 'Horse-drawn' does seem like it should be accepted, IDK why not?! Arbitrary... Instaget Duesenberg, Hors d"Oevres, Hormone, and stretched for Horology = study of Time, correcting my initial impulse to say 'chronology' which is a temporal sequence of events. Got electrocution hazard, Gutenberg 1450 press, Angelina Jolie ; NHO Hebrew prayer shawl 'Talit."

In 'Johanns,' Got Goethe (Faust played at Weimar Theater), Swiss Family Robinson (Johann Wyss; Robinson is not a Swiss name but derived from the cult obsession at the time of shipwreck survival, started off with Robinson Crusoe by Defoe; was a virtual reality show, a la 18th century, lol); 1856 = Neanderthal discovery near Dusseldorf; (Don't confuse with Cro-Magnon, disc in southern France in 1868, the name 'Magnon' is from the cave owner's family name, lol, go figure); and of course Johann Strauss, Tales from the Vienna Woods and Blue Danube (Do not confuse with Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Der Rosenkavalier, a fav; and Salome).

At least they cleared the boards and it was well-contested, I sure hope the new champ can last to next week! Happy Turkey Day, the madness begins Friday!

The important part is whether the Sea was first "encountered" before the Strait, not when they were named, though it seems likely that they were given Bering's name together.
Unless someone can point to an earlier "discovery" of the Bering Sea, I'm still "accepting" my own answer of that.
econgator wrote:1) Why was horse-drawn nor acceptable?
Google does come up with hits for "horse-drawn age" but I doubt you'd find the idiom in a dictionary.
"Horse-and-buggy" is given the definition in the clue at dictionary.com. "Horse-drawn" just says "pulled by a horse or horses."

29 right.

New York- 5; Kitchen- 2; NBA- 4; You- 2; Cabinet- 1; Atomic- 2
Libs- 3; Johann- 2; Pot- 0; Female- 3; World- 3; "H"- 2

Lach trash: "White Plains", "J. Robert Oppenheimer", "Simon Bolivar", "Gary Busey"

I arrived at Bering fairly quickly, and I said Bering Sea and Bering Strait interchangeably. I would think either one would suffice and I was hoping that both answers were said to see how they would judge it.
