CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Sean Chong is a medical student from Maryland whose first date with his girlfriend was at a special club. What was it?
Sean: Well, it was a cat cafe. My beautiful, amazing girlfriend Mariel, who's in the audience tonight--I love you so much--our first date was at a cat cafe. While we were there, we fell in love with this absolutely cuddly and adorable cat that sat in her lap the entire time. And five weeks later, we went back and took her home with us.
Alex: And what exactly is a cat cafe?
Sean: You pay money to hang with cats and drink coffee.
Alex: Oh. That sounds like fun.
Sean: Yeah.
Alex: It worked out for you.
Sean: It did.
Alex: She's in the audience.
Alex: Scarlett Sims, a stay-at-home mom from Tennessee who met her husband at a college quiz bowl tournament.
Scarlett: That's right. I met my husband, Hunter, because he overslept and got put on my team. He wasn't supposed to be on my team, but he got put on my team, and I beat him to the buzzer on a question about The Pompatus of Love.
Alex: Hmm.
[Laughter]
Alex: All right, and you're still together.
Alex: Austin Rogers is our champion. He is a bartender, and I have good news for you. Because we did not phrase our clue exactly the way we should have, your response of "whale" for that blubber clue, instead of "seal", has been deemed by our researchers to be acceptable.
Austin: Sweet.
Alex: So you're picking up an extra--yeah, sweet. You're up to $1200.
Austin: Awesome.
Alex: Okay.
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
ALL THE "BEST" $1000: An assistant at a memorable event, or a Gore Vidal play title
MEN & WOMEN OF LETTERS $800: Sci-fi author James Graham
THE END IS NEAR $400: A standard 9-month term of the group seen here normally ends in this month
SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Scarlett: $8,000
Austin: $2,400
Sean: $2,000

SCORES ENTERING FINAL JEOPARDY!
Scarlett: $21,200
Austin: $16,600
Sean: $2,800
FINAL JEOPARDY! CATEGORY
MOVIE HISTORY
VENUSIAN MONOLOGUES/MARTIAN CHRONICLES
Three-quarters for first place. Shore's Conjecture.
Scarlett: Wager $12,001 to cover Austin, but no more than $15,599 so as not to fall behind Sean's doubled score. If you're a fan of shoretegic wagering, you might risk $6,401.
Austin: You ought to wager between $4,601 (venusian) and $7,400 (martian), thereby safely covering a $0 bet by Scarlett.
Sean: Too bad for you, Sean, your score is less than Scarlett's score minus Austin's score. Unless they both commit an egregious wagering error, you've no hope of moving into first place. 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
A 1947 FBI study chided this holiday film's "attempt to discredit bankers ...a common trick used by Communists"
FINAL SCORES
Sean: $2,800 - $1,800 = $1,000 (What is Miracle on 51st St.?) (3rd place: $1,000)
Austin: $16,600 + $16,550 = $33,150 (What is It's A Wonderful Life) (2nd place: $2,000)
Scarlett: $21,200 + $12,001 = $33,201 (What is It's a Wonderful Life?) (New champion: $33,201)
(Alex: [To Sean] Wrong street, and wrong film.)
(Sean: Oh, well.)
(Alex: That's okay.)
...
(Alex: [To Austin] The Frank Capra film, which is correct.)
...
(Alex: And we're going to see Austin Rogers in our Tournament of Champions very soon.)

Re: Thursday, October 12, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
It was *Miss Scarlett in the studio with the buzzer as Austin was Mr. Boddy.
Austin was given some bonus money with the whale reversal happening after his DD miss. If the judges had handled matters sooners Austin would have been at zero to start the second segment instead of 1200.
*Scarlett Sims could be a Miss or Ms. and Miss Scarlet in the board game Clue is one T.
Scarlett Sims from Tennessee took names and numbers in the Dolly Parton category.
Austin's opening looked like this thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPpQoCDS_tw
For the FJ! round let's just say I've seen that movie more than once so not going to miss it.

Wow, nice job, Scarlett, and of course a very impressive run for Austin.
My mom is always daydreaming about a category on Dolly. I'll have to tell her about this, if she hasn't seen it already!

Hey Scarlett here, just signed up for the boards to post in this topic.
Where on earth does it air early enough for there to already be results up?

Ok I noticed that when looking up for a friend in Montgomery where he could watch it, but I thought it might be the previous day's episode because that's so early.

Congratulations, Scarlett! Apart from taking down an ultra-champ, $21,200 without the benefit of a Daily Double is an impressive feat. As it happens, Nancy Zerg, Victoria Groce, Diana Peloquin, Brian Loughnane, Michael Baker, and Margie Eulner Ott were all one and done... I like your chances to accomplish something unique in the show's history tomorrow!

Congrats Sims. That high five at the end is great. Feel free to add the story. Dolly Parton is tailor-made for you.
Good comeback by Austin but the negs towards the end were costly. I'm going to take the field over Austin in TOC.

Nice job, Scarlett! (it's on at 4:30 here.) Wish I'd done as well on Dolly Parton at home as you did up there.sims wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2017 12:28 pmOk I noticed that when looking up for a friend in Montgomery where he could watch it, but I thought it might be the previous day's episode because that's so early.
I had to feel for Sean, living one of our most common Jeopardy fears: getting repeatedly and visually buzzer-beaten (though couldn't tell if it was from being too early or too late.)

After a certain category earlier this week, I thought it was funny that we had a contestant from Silver Spring.
Congrats to Scarlett, who played very well and took away Austin's usual buzzer dominance. $21,200 is an impressive Coryat for a first game.
Austin could have won this game but his perennial inabillity to stay clam, combined with not going completely all-in on his DJ DD's, did him in (I think -- I'll have to run the numbers later). And this time when he again got an easy FJ right (finishing an amazing 12 of 13 on FJ's), he didn't have the sole solve he needed. Still, it was an outstanding and memorable run and we'll see him again next month and probably in a future super-tournament.
I hope he worked on FJ wagering strategy before taping the TOC.
So in his last 2 games, Austin put up Coryats of $12,000 and today's $11,000. Which Austin will show up at the TOC -- that one, or the one who won $69,000 in one game and had a Coryat of $24,200 as recently as Tuesday? I'll still have him as a gold, but the tournament seems very wide-open now.
It's also a little disappointing that by losing today, Austin is forever frozen at $612 behind Matt Jackson for 5th place in all-time regular-play earnings and also missed a chance to pass Julia Collins and David Madden for 2nd all time.
ETA: It's also disappointing to me that Tim Kutz is now officially out of the TOC.

Re: Thursday, October 12, 2017 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
I was fully expecting that $1200 from the reversal to be the difference in the game.
I'm happy it wasn't.
Scarlett: what a game.

Our long national nightmare is over. The champ was on the defensive for nearly the whole game. Nevertheless, he demonstrated his knack for finding DDs. When I saw how easy FJ was, I suspected Scarlet would win.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

Gotta admit, I have never heard of J.G. Ballard or (after looking them up) any of his books.
