CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Jennie Floyd is from Tucson, Arizona, who started, at age 42, a second career as an actress.
Jennie: I did, yes.
Alex: Why?
Jennie: I had an accident on my job, and I wasn't able to continue as a consultant. And I had a lot of time on my hands. I was really bored. So I took a class in musical theater. And my teacher said, "You're a natural, and you should go an audition." And I said, "I'm too old to be an actress."
Alex: No, you're never too old.
Jennie: And he said, "You're never too old."
Alex: Absolutely right.
Jennie: And I got a part at my first audition, and I've pretty much acted for 15 years straight. And I just retired and moved to Tucson.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: Pasha Paterson from Richmond, Virginia. Works on turning information into action. Like what are we talking about?
Pasha: So far, we've assisted with the logistical support for the response to the Ebola outbreak in west Africa. We've helped rebuild infrastructure in Afghanistan. We've participated in apprehending human traffickers here in the United States.
Alex: Hey, you're doing a lot of good things.
Pasha: Yeah, it's not your typical professional geekery, so it's pretty cool.
Alex: Okay. All right, way to go.
Alex: Austin Rogers, bartender. Our champion. I had a friend years ago who drove what used to be a checkered cab. You had a car that used to be a London taxi?
Austin: Yeah, it was a London taxi. It was actually for a marketing campaign in New York. And it was a 1978 Austin. I'm a 1978 Austin. And it was right-hand drive. So I'd pull up next to other taxi drivers, leaning out this window. They'd pull up next to me. They'd say, "Buddy, I want your job. Wait a second, is that stick shift?" I'd be like, "Yeah, it's stick shift." They'd say, "I don't want your job."
Alex: Not only is it stick shift, but stick shift with your left hand.
Austin: Ah, it's the same. It's--gear pattern's the same.
Alex: Yeah. Thank you very much, but my left hand doesn't work the same as my right hand.
JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Austin found the Daily Double on the 22nd clue. Austin had $4,600, Pasha had $400, and Jennie was at $2,600. Austin made it a True Daily Double, wagering $4,600.
COUNTRIES WITH ONLY A's AS VOWELS $800: The 2 that touch both the Atlantic Ocean & the Pacific Ocean
(Austin: What is Panama and... I give up.)
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
AN IVY LEAGUE EDUCATION $800: You may seek "Forgiveness" & "Elementary Syriac" at its noted divinity school
(Austin: What is Yale Divinity School?)
KILLER SHAKESPEARE $800: The death of the Greek warrior Patroclus at the hands of Hector in this play spurs Achilles to resume fighting
SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Jennie: $4,000
Pasha: $2,800
Austin: $1,800

Jennie: Seeing as you don't have enough money to win on a Triple Stumper (you will lose by at least $1,200), you might try betting $4,501, playing for a win if Pasha tries to two-thirds Austin (though, from this position, a wager of all $7,200 is acceptable and perhaps preferred as it forces Pasha to cover you).

Re: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
Pasha: Well done with a good showing, five-figure Coryat and making Austin have to show up for the FJ! round. A bigger bet on your DD and all it ends up doing is putting more $ in Austin’s wallet.
Thanks to Jennie’s all in wager you got the second place prize. If you get the FJ! clue right it’s the same. If you found DD3 would you have got it right and coupled that with enough to lock the match?
It was a fun match to watch and it looked like you were very relaxed while enjoying the experience. Congrats on getting your chance to play.
***************
I can’t say I’ve seen any of Jennie’s work while good for her for having a long list of credits: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1979417/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
DD3 turned out to be the end of the DJ! round with $1200 & $2000 left unplayed.
Austin: 10200
Pasha: 11700
Jennie: 7200
Austin went for 5700 and got it right. That’s a lot more than many would bet in that situation. Should he have bet more? Less? SIMON BOLIVAR $1600 box matter?
For the FJ! round I wrote the correct response when the clue appeared and put my pen down. The only names I had to swat away during the music were Daisy Buchanan (She’s fictional.) and Dorothy Parker (Famous husband?).
Good get by Austin for the sole solve while I think his pull on DD3 was more impressive as a miss there and he’s very likely done after one.

Re: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
I've spent five months regretting that wager. I had even told one of my friends before I went to the taping, "If any kind of language/wordplay category comes up, and I get a Daily Double, I'm going all-in." To tell the absolute truth, I looked at the clues remaining, and looked at myself standing between Ms. Really Good, and Mr. Scary Good, and choked. If I have one regret from that game, it's that wager.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 4:38 pm Pasha: Well done with a good showing, five-figure Coryat and making Austin have to show up for the FJ! round. A bigger bet on your DD and all it ends up doing is putting more $ in Austin’s wallet.
I don't remember the final DD but I do remember being frustrated I didn't find it, so… maybe? hahaMarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 4:38 pm If you found DD3 would you have got it right and coupled that with enough to lock the match?
It was achingly addictive, and yes, I felt like I could have stood there for 10 more games, which made it all the more frustrating that I didn't win it. On the other hand, like me, Austin loves playing the game, and I think the two of us really spurred each other on. If I had to lose, I didn't mind losing to someone that good, and that fun to play against.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 4:38 pm It was a fun match to watch and it looked like you were very relaxed while enjoying the experience. Congrats on getting your chance to play.
Going into FJ! I was not confident at all about the category (for, as it turned out, obvious reasons) and I found myself in what felt like the absolute worst wagering position possible. Here, too, I chickened out and played for second, mostly because if I fell to third I'd be losing about $600 on the trip to LA, and Papa's got bills to pay. It sounds trite and terrible and maybe even a little stupid but all that and more was going through my head at the time.
Note to future contestants: Don't hold the light pen like a pen. I got so flustered with the stupid thing, I almost reached for the emergency index card. Hold the pen vertically if this ever happens to you.

I'm pretty darned pleased with that, TBH. None of those categories were "good" for me, except the new dictionary words one where I found the DD. Obviously I did not study my Ivy League school list.

Re: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
I just realized how brilliant Austin's bet was on that final Daily Double.
10200 - 5700 = 4500, which is exactly the difference between Pasha's and Jennie's scores.

Re: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
Anyone else answer the WEIGHTS & MEASURES clue with "What's a cubit?"
Liked the "I'm a 1978 Austin ... " during the interviews.
The strawberry was overvalued at $2000.
I first considered E. B. Browning, since she had a famous husband, but realized she wasn't American. Then Dorothy Parker (right timeframe, right country), but I'm pretty sure she wasn't married (at least not to someone famous). Then finally about 20 seconds in, Zelda came to me. Didn't know she was really famous in her own right (nor that she was a writer), but she was famous enough that I had heard of her, so I figured it was a reasonable guess. Pleased that I got it.
Tough luck, zerobandwidth, but I'm positive you had fun! At we can now share Eleanor Roosevelt as our trivia nemesis! (I gave her that title when she was an answer on the Jeopardy test a few years ago, and I could only think of her at the last second, getting "Elea" before time ran out. I got 34 that year and no Email. I'll blame Mrs. Roosevelt for it. )

First instinct was Zelda, thought it was too obscure then went with Eleanor. Oh, well.

I went with Priscilla Presley for FJ! because I totally misread the clue, but it's my favorite way to get an answer wrong, at least! Kinda' a shame neither of the other wrong contestants made my mistake .

Pasha started bouncing a bit in the first round but kept going to the top of the board where there are no DD's 99.9% of the time.
Nice to see the TDD from the champ, very narrow category with plenty of time to answer.
Pasha seemed very unsure what to do on the DJ DD and ended up wagering a round number whereas Austin knew exactly what he was doing with his.
In FJ Austin and Jenny wagered correctly, Pasha should have wagered between $2701-$3300. His actual wager can't win on a WWW scenario so might as well wager everything.
I did enjoy Pasha's attitude, he was enjoying himself.

I have read The Great Gatsby and could have told you the first name of the author's wife, but I never in a million years would have made a connection to Fitzgerald from this FJ clue. I guessed Sylvia Plath.

Coryat: $23,400
DDs: 3/3
FJ!: (WAD: Mary Shelley. Upon further investigation, she was neither American nor did she live in the correct time period.)
REALLY surprised Austin got the more difficult of the two countries on the DD.
I was in Richard Rodgers' & Hammerstein's TWO BY TWO a year and a half ago, which is about the story of Noah and the Ark. One of my lines was "Cubits? Nobody talks in cubits anymore!" Of course I got that one.
Ran Close-Up.
Pasha, you played a great game! Sorry that you missed FJ! and Austin got it.

'Grats on a great game, Pasha, playing tough against an opponent who looks like he could be here a while. You were a pleasure to watch, and I'm glad to see that you enjoyed your experience.
Flapper did lead me in the right direction to the 20s for FJ, but the best I could muster was Eleanor Roosevelt. Ah well.

30 right.
Shakespeare (3), Countries- Vowels A (3), Groups (4), Ivy (3), Weights (2), Simpler (1)
OED (1), TV (4), Big (3), Small (1), Close-Up (2), Bolivar (3)
Lach Trash: The Liberator
The "letters" portion made me think of Abigail Adams, but then "flapper" lead me to Zelda Fitzgerald.
