$2600 + FJ! and clammed on BB for $1600. Negged on Kurtz for minus 2000. 1/3 on DDs. My Coryat did not beat the 28,400 of the players. I would have fit in just fine in this game along with any of the other two actual contestants.
J10 $1600 THAT BOOK CHARACTER DOES THINGS: Likes being a sailor or foretopman, depending on the edition; kills Claggart; doesn't make it to the end of the story
I got this one for sure! It's where my screen name comes from!
Google (I think that was all that was needed; Mayim's "Books" was superfluous), Georgia, an Angry God, Cartagena, a neg with Joe for Jim, Billy Budd, a clam on Fancy Free, and gallium for $5,800; my FJ get wins me the game. I couldn't come up with "quiet desperation" in time (I knew it was "quiet [bad thing]"), and calling "deepfake" a portmanteau rubs me the wrong way, even though the J! writers aren't the first to do so.
$10,600 +FJ. Feel like I should have had deepfake as well, I've heard enough about them lately...
I 'll just add that, even more than bad wagering, I'm continually frustrated by how players run away from Daily Doubles. Just because you were stumped by the previous clue in That Book Character..., don't sulk by swerving up to another category (or sometimes, the top of the same category!), then leave the category uncompleted till the end of the game. I don't care that the Daily Double wasn't at That Book Character...$2000. It could have been!
DJ9 made me do a bit of a double take before answering "Jim," since I seem to remember the character was introduced as "N-word Jim," at least in editions published in the 1950s. I don't think Huck referred to him as "just plain" Jim in the first few chapters.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.
