Lauren: Uh, yeah, it's called the Forty-Sixers. It's, um, it's specific to the Adirondacks, which is where I grew up. There are 46 what they call "high peaks", um, which are all of the mountains that are over 4,000 feet. So my brother and I have been trying to climb them all together.
Alex: Wow. How many have you done so far?
Lauren: Three. [Laughs]
[Laughter]
Alex: Oh.
Lauren: Got a long time, though.
Alex: You've got plenty of time.
Alex: Ricardo Pineres from Herndon, Virginia. You and your wife met because of an interest in an art piece by a famous French painter. Tell us about it.
Ricardo: That's correct, Alex. My wife and I both like the works of Jacques-Louis David.
Alex: Who painted a lot of portraits of Napoleon.
Ricardo: Yes, and I was tired of hanging out with the same people in law school, so I made a post online that had a picture of the painting. And it happened that my wife, Danielle, had written a--a paper about that piece.
Alex: What was it?
Ricardo: The Oath of the Horatii.
Alex: Ah.
Ricardo: And so she responded to the post, and that was it.
Alex: Okay, well, good for you. Congratulations.
Alex: John Schultz, how did you meet your wife? Not through a painting.
John: Uh, not through a painting, no. Uh, well, I walked into my girlfriend, at the time's, uh, dorm room and there she was. They were--they were roommates their freshman year of college.
[Laughter]
Alex: Are they still friends?
John: Not particularly.
Alex: I--[Laughs] I would think not.

FINAL JEOPARDY! CATEGORY
20th CENTURY BRITS
VENUSIAN MONOLOGUES/MARTIAN CHRONICLES
Crush for first place.
John: Wager $7,601 to cover Lauren, but no more than $10,799 so as not to fall behind Ricardo's doubled score.
Lauren: You have the hope of surpassing John if you come up with the correct response. Bet at least $8,401 to force John to wager to win; but if you're intent on holding on to second place, wager no more than $2,399 to protect your second place position from being usurped by Ricardo.
Ricardo: Unfortunately, your score is less than the difference between the scores of the first and second place players, so unless they both blunder, you're competing for second place and have no hopes of first. Wager as much as you desire, but remember, you'll have better chances of advancing to second place if you have a larger sum left over on a Triple Stumper.
FINAL JEOPARDY! CLUE
Dr. Hugh Cairns, who tried but couldn't save the life of this man in May 1935, became a pioneer in the use of motorcycle helmets

Re: Monday, January 12, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
Tough Final, No way was I getting it while the music was going, or afterwards, but Alex's mentioning Lawrence died in a motorcycle accident triggered a long-distant memory of that fact. "Of course!"
Still, though, I predict a low get rate.

Whereas all I could say was "oh, he died in a motorcycle accident, did he? OK then. Noted for future reference." If I've heard it before (which I probably have), I've long since forgotten it.dhkendall wrote:Tough Final, No way was I getting it while the music was going, or afterwards, but Alex's mentioning Lawrence died in a motorcycle accident triggered a long-distant memory of that fact. "Of course!"
Nice win by the champ, especially after pulling that (true) DD out of the deepest recesses of his (insert body part here), and even after Lauren matched him (and I gotta say, great wager, nice to see a contestant go for it when down a ton rather than just shrug and bet 2000, but drawing the Oregon trail on a map and asking them to name it, as a DD?? COME ON!!!).
To be honest though, after that Omar TS, they were all dead to me

Congratulations to John on his third win. Lauren played very well, too, up until FJ. I got 32 responses correct including three triple stumpers: dabbling duck, muscovy duck, and Isaiah. I had no guess for FJ.

Well, there was a pretty well regarded David Lean movie where the motorcycle accident framed everything that came after. That said, the movie is now more than 50 years old.dhkendall wrote:Tough Final, No way was I getting it while the music was going, or afterwards, but Alex's mentioning Lawrence died in a motorcycle accident triggered a long-distant memory of that fact.

I guess I saw Lawrence of Arabia at an impressionable age, as his death stuck with me and this FJ was an instaget.

Instaget. Saw movie as a kid. I remember it being striking that the movie opened with the death of the main character. I was probably all like, "The end."

Lauren would have won on a TS if she wagered zero and JOhn wagered the usual wager of $7601. Him wagering $8000 as he did keeps Lauren from winning on a zero bet on a TS.

Saw the movie as a kid too, so FJ was an instaget... also I feel like it was a Daily Double or something last year?
The Who is my favorite band, so I easily swept that category.
But more importantly... did anyone else have a SUPER WEIRD SCIENTOLOGY COMMERCIAL during one of the breaks?! My jaw dropped.

Sad thing is, I was just looking at my iPod and one of the podcasts I subscribe to has an entire episode on Lawrence of Arabia. That's what I get for not being caught up.

I said Harley Davidson mostly as a joke, but I sure wasn't coming up with anything else. Suffice it to say that I've heard of Lawrence of Arabia, but I didn't know he was British (being of Arabia and all that). I also didn't know the motorcycle was around in the 30s.
Learn something new every day, I guess.

I was waiting for Ricardo to ring in and answer John Entwistle for the Who's drummer.

Instaget, but it was clearly one of those "you had to know it" to get it.
Ran The Who in a heartbeat. If you've never seen the original band, watch some film of Keith. I remember seeing him once and he pounded the drum with the stick, let it rebound about 10 feet up in the air, caught it, and hit the next beat with it right on time. And seriously? People don't know where the Fillmore West was? Ugh.
And yes, OS, we've been getting the Scientology commercials here in DC.
