[Alex makes a big gesture with his hand.]

Alex: Sean taught me how to do that. What a great start to this new year we've had here on Jeopardy! Yesterday, our first runaway game, for Sean, but unable to capitalize on Final Jeopardy! because he missed the correct response. So Claudia, Brandon, I suppose that's a bit of encouragement for you.

NHL LOGOS (4/5)

SCORES AT THE FIRST BREAK
Claudia: $2,600
Brandon: $2,400
Sean: $1,200

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS



Alex: Claudia Hochstein, as you heard a few minutes ago, is from Minnesota.

Claudia: Oh, yeah.

Alex: You like wild rice?

Claudia: I do. I love wild rice.

Alex: Okay. Now what's this about you creating a new national holiday of your own?

Claudia: I wouldn't say it's a national holiday. It's more like a very localized holiday, within my apartment.

Alex: Oh.

[Laughter]

Claudia: It's called Hochtoberfest. And my last name is Hochstein, so Hochtoberfest. And it's a celebration of things I love, in addition to decorative gourd season. So whereas Oktoberfest is in September, Hochtoberfest takes place the first Saturday in November.

Alex: Right.

Claudia: It's great.

[Laughter]

Alex: I followed all of that, which is scary.




Alex: Brandon Brooks is from Chicago, Illinois. Big game show fan, I understand.

Brandon: Oh-ho-ho, you have no idea.

Alex: You have over 600 sound clips of game show themes?

Brandon: Yep, mp3s. I started collecting them around a decade ago, and I think I have maybe five or six versions of the Jeopardy! theme. And I love them so much that I work out to them.

Alex: Really?

Brandon: Yeah.

Alex: All right, I'm going to put you on the spot.

Brandon: Uh-huh.

Alex: First television game show I hosted in the United States.

Brandon: Wizard of Odds, absolutely.

Alex: Wizard of Odds. Do you remember the lyrics to that opening song?

Brandon: It was sung by, oh, gosh, Alan Thicke. And [singing] "Who's the man..." something like that.

Alex: "Who's the man with the money, makes the dark day sunny?" That's me.

Brandon: Good to know.

[Laughter]




Alex: Sean Sullivan. Volunteering as a trail builder at a state park. Which means what, you get out there with a rake and machete and create trails?

Sean: The push on the Appalachian Trail that goes up Bear Mountain, in Bear Mountain State Park. Gets a lot of wear, so for the past 12 years, they've been replacing it with granite steps. I've been there for two years, and they let volunteers go out and move an 800-pound, five-foot-long step with rock bars and put it in the right place.

Alex: It's wonderful that so many of you are volunteers, because we can no longer afford to look after all of our parks.

Sean: So you appreciate more.

Alex: Okay.

Sean: They come out in the spring.

Alex: All right.

JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Sean found the Daily Double on the 25th clue. Sean had $3,400, Brandon had $3,800, and Claudia was at $2,600. Sean wagered $2,000.

TO THE SALT LAKE CITY $1000: Just like the one in the Middle East, this Salt Lake City river empties into a very saline lake

TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
FEAR FACTOR $200: A new & growing condition is nomophobia, the fear of losing access to this--is there a charger nearby?
(Brandon: What is electricity to plug in your phone?)
(Sean: What is WiFi or the internet?)

NHL LOGOS $1000: This team's flying wheel logo is the oldest unchanged logo in the NHL, created in 1948
(Claudia: Who are the Flyers?)

TO THE SALT LAKE CITY $800: Recalling a great moment in state history, bronze seagulls perch on a monument in this square named for a building

Brandon: $3,800
Claudia: $3,800

If there is a list of top 100 author/title matches to know for J! I would think the Bovary author would be on there. Certainly top 250.

NHL LOGOS is not on a study list unless Dan Patrick is hosting and the challengers did well splitting the first four until the last one was a stumper.

So much for watching all six hours of Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics and all episodes to date of Riverdale helping me with today’s FJ! clue.

I matched Sean’s response which of course had no chance. Captain Marvel is DC Comics. Billy (Batson) is the first name. Marvel is not a teen’s first name. The high of finishing 2017 with a 5/5 week has led to the low of starting 2018 with a 20% week.

Claudia’s response of Jeff had Alex ask for clarification when he guessed perhaps she was going Mutt & Jeff. Claudia got a laugh when it sounded liked she was going for “Jeff Pardy” (Jeff Pretty?) a pun on the show’s title.

Nice solve by Brandon to take the game and make it five games with five different winners this week.

It seemed like there was editing work on contestant responses that was slightly clipping correct phrasing. Six clues not played completed a bad week for incomplete boards. Monday has to be better.

A bit of background: Captain Marvel is DC Comics now, but originally he was the flagship character of Fawcett Comics. Fawcett stopped publishing comics in the early 1950s; DC licensed the Captain Marvel family of characters (which DC now owns outright) in the early 1970s and integrated them into its own comics stable. Because Marvel had acquired the Captain Marvel trademark in the meantime -- by creating its own character using that name -- DC was forced to publish its Captain Marvel-starring comics using the title "Shazam" (the hero's famous code word). Recently, DC gave up on the Captain Marvel name altogether, and simply renamed the character Shazam.

And yeah... how come I never got a Comic Book Publishers FJ? :D

Loved Brandon's wager!

I wasn't optimistic about the FJ! category, but I actually solved the clue. It seems as if there have been a lot of clues about superheroes lately (including in today's game), so my first instinct was to think about non-superhero comics.

Not a good game for me today.

R: 19, W: 2, costing 1000
Coryat: 12,400
FJ: :(
LT: cell phone

Another 6 uncovered clues today. That's either 27 or 28 this week - almost enough for a full board. I guess the writers will have it easy in the near future, with plenty of clues for multiple potpourri categories.

It's nice to see proper wagering rewarded. Brandon's was spot on to take advantage of a miss by Sean while locking out a right answer by Claudia. Sean's was the standard wager to cover (rounded up to 100s rather than adding the single dollar).

I had little hope on FJ. Never knew that Archie comics existed, although I know the character. I went with Sean and picked Marvel, hoping that Captain Marvel might have started out as a teenager, and figuring that DC made a lousy first name.

After the category reveal, my g/f turned to me and said "Aren't there just two?" I replied "Aren't you the one who collects Archie Comics?" Then the commercials end, and she proceeded to miss the question.

Insta-get for me.

Nomophobia was poorly pinned. "Charging phone" was too specific and that misled the contestants further away. Terrible clue.

The Ducks are a real team?! I thought they were made up for that movie. The only one I got there was the only one they didn't, Red Wings.

How was I supposed to figure out rice at $200? There are an awful lot of "wild" plants. That whole category was completely foreign to me.

Chauvinism has more meaning than that? I have literally never heard it to mean anything other than "male chauvinism".

Ran "Down".

I have a Labradoodle, so no way was I missing that clue. Can't say I've heard of "threepeat", so I had another "all but the top box" moment.

I saw no way to pick between Sawyer and Finn on Books for $400.

"Hero" misled me to superheroes, and coming up high and dry on a teenage superhero. This was head-slappingly obvious after the fact.

Mega instaget for me as soon as I laid eyes on "MLJ". I have a massive gold and silver age Archie collection amassed starting around age 8. At my audition I even said I'd spend jeopardy winnings on a Pep #22 and Archie #1. I could see the wording making this tricky though for people who don't have any true familiarity with Archie.

Not only are the Ducks real, but their name is on Lord Stanley's Cup, which they won in 2007.

I'm still amazed that the Detroit Red Wings were a Triple Stumper. Then again, I live in Greater Detroit aka "Hockeytown".

The phobia category was too obscure for me. Nomophobia? Based on the Greek, I assumed it was fear of laws, but that didn't fit the clue. Why would it mean fear of being without a mobile phone? Tokophobia was easy only because the clue obviously led to fear of giving birth. At least that one played fair with the Greek roots since τόκος means "birth" in Greek. The other possibility was fear of smoking cannabis. Pediophobia seemed like it would be fear of children. I totally missed that the clue was pointing to fear of dolls.

Ran the Portmanteau category. Got lach trash on minimalism (I own at least 2 CDs with compositions by Steve Reich), Gustave Flaubert (come ON, guys!), and Marquis de Sade (come ON, part 2).

No chance on FJ. Wrote down "Billy" (from Billy Batson) just to have something that somehow fit the clue. As soon as I saw Brandon's response I knew that had to be it.

They even started out in 1993 as The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. When Disney sold them in 2005, the name got changed to the less cutesy Anaheim Ducks.

I don't think Mighty Ducks should have been accepted. The logo described in the clue was not adopted until the team dropped "Mighty" from the name.

I'm still laughing at the Jeffpardy response.

I was relieved to pull the correct FJ response and avoid an 0/5 week.
