Alex: Thank you, Johnny. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Tara and Beth, you're the newcomers. I want to start today's program off with a well-intentioned warning to you two. Watch out for Dave. He's won two games in a row. He's turned both of them into no-contest because he couldn't be caught in the end. He's earned all of his money in the Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! Rounds. Not a penny in Final Jeopardy! So maybe that's good news for you. We'll find out in this half-hour. Here we go. Categories for the first round are...

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS



Alex: Tara O'Byrne is from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and this young lady attended Carleton University, which is the rival of my alma mater, the University of Ottawa. And Carleton also won the Panda Bear last year. The Panda Bear is just that. It's a panda bear that our football teams vie for each year. Carleton has won it how many years in a row?

Tara: I think it's three years, Alex.

Alex: That's enough of you.




Alex: Beth Schoenbach, you're from Washington, D.C.

Beth: Yes.

Alex: Tell me about your dog. Your dog has been on a talk show and mentioned on the news.

Beth: Yes. This past holiday season, I took her to a bi-paw-tisan howl-iday party. And I dressed her in a holiday outfit. And it being D.C., it attracted some media attention, so there's footage of her on a cable news show in her outfit. And then the following night, a late-night comedian specifically talked about her in his monologue and called her the Hanukkah Hound.

Alex: Say the word bipartisan again.

Beth: Bipartisan, or bi-paw-tisan.

Alex: Bi-paw-tisan. Thank you very much, yes.




Alex: Dave Mattingly is our champion. He's an excellent player. You get some help, I believe, because every year, don't you put on some kind of a game show marathon that--

Dave: Yes. Some friends of mine for the last seven years have gotten together and for 24 straight hours, we play 24 different game shows. We stream it online, over the internet, and we raise money for charity.

Alex: 24 hours?

Dave: 24 straight hours.

Alex: We're only half an hour.

Dave: Thankfully.

Alex: You're--you're well-rested on our program.

Dave: Yes.

JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Dave found the Daily Double on the 23rd clue. Dave had $9,600, Beth had $1,400, and Tara was at $1,800. Dave wagered $4,000.

2-TERM CABINET OFFICERS $1000: Josephus Daniels ran this branch of the military from 1913 to 1921 with FDR as Assistant almost the whole time

TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
2-TERM CABINET OFFICERS $800: Ezra Benson was on this church's Council of the 12 Apostles when he served as Sec. of Agriculture 1953-1961

CELEBRITY MEMOIRS $400: It's no dream--Arnold Schwarzenegger really did title his 2012 memoir this, like that of his 1990 sci-fi thriller

SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Dave: $14,600
Tara: $3,800
Beth: $1,400

Dave makes J! look easy like just another day at the office. He has yet to wager anything other than $0 in the FJ! round. Tomorrow, Dave won’t be the only person with wins and money from that stage as one opponent is a 2-time Sports Jeopardy! champ in addition to being a 6-figure winner on Millionaire with Meredith hosting.

The FJ! category had me working too hard for all of the names and pieces of trivia I could recall about them. I was all over the place playing the precall game from royal weddings to Jackie Kennedy to shoes to perfumes.

The clue had me able to string together the bits of information to picture what to write with no trouble at all.

A nod to the writers keeping me from running A HALL OF FAME INFIELD as I could not figure out in quick clue time the connection of Harmon Killebrew/Park/Uncle Sam/1872 since the quote did not seem familiar. Turns out the manager who said it was:

Three dominant days in a row by Dave. He also brought up the 24-hour game show marathon.

Another Instaget FJ!.

It would have been interesting to see if Tara could have made a game of it going all in on that DD. Dave was certainly on a roll, however, so maybe it was always going to be too little, too late.

And this FJ was even easier than yesterday's. I mean, WECIB?

I would say many $200 questions are harder than this FJ.

Well, I’ll be the idiot who ruins our run of perfection. Nothing came to me, even after I drew four triangles. Wrote down peace symbol and gave myself a concussion after Alex mentioned the atoll.

I know the timing's way off, but "four triangles" led me to brassiere. I'd never have written it down, but it made sense from the clothing construction standpoint.

Splat. Another crushing victory, and he's making it look easy.

Gold Coast for 2000?!?

Instaget FJ. I would've gotten it from the year alone (they've asked about the bikini before for FJ, haven't they? EDIT: yup), but picturing 4 triangles made it even easier.

That makes sense. Can't really say mastiff by itself was correct.

Tara needed to go for it on the DD in the geography category. Alex even encouraged her to...and then she went for the nice round number.

I was surprised that Colombia was a TS, though I have to wonder if the contestants misinterpreted the clue as not asking for a modern day country.

It was so awesome to see a clue on Chipper Jones!

I got the Lach trash on Bradstreet and Roger Williams.

FJ came to me right away, though I wasn't completely confident.

Perhaps the image didn't appear on the monitor - I seem to recall that happens on occasion.

Love Chipper despite being a Red Sox fan. I've got a rookie card of his somewhere with rainbow foil around the edges, it's one of my favorites. Thankful that $1200 clue wasn't a DD as I couldn't figure it out fast enough; on stage, I'd have automatically gone big/all-in and gotten toasted.

Bravo to Dave; he was superb once again, and it's probably a very short list of players to have tallied more money than he did at the end of the J! round. Very excited to see Ron tomorrow - I remember his SJ run very well but didn't know he was a Millionaire alum as well. Should be a great game!
J! S39 - 1/27-2/1. '24 ToC ???

not sure what she was doing with the wager she made...only way to get back into the game was to go all in...she may as well just have wagered 0 if she wanted to protect 2nd place...the normal boring wager of 2k only had negative consequences...nothing positive to be gained by that lame wager
