Game Recap for Show #7606, 2017-10-09

Austin Rogers game 10.
The dividers between the players used during Final Jeopardy! are now retractable.
Players now stay at their lecterns for the closing credits.

Rich Coble, an attorney from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York (whose 9-day cash winnings total $332,400)

OPENING REMARKS
Alex: Thank you, Johnny. Good news for our champion, Austin, is, as you regular fans know, he's already qualified for the Tournament of Champions coming up next month. The bad news is that he will not be able to participate in the Tournament of Champions if he keeps winning all of the games right up to when the tournament starts. So Rich and Rain, you have something to say about that. Good luck to all three of you. Here we go now into the Jeopardy! Round. And today we deal with these categories...

JEOPARDY! ROUND CATEGORIES
VIDEO GAMES (4/5, including 1 missed Daily Double) (Alex: Sounds like fun.)
STATES BY COLORFUL LOCALES (3/5)

LAW SLAW (5/5)
TRANSLATE THE NOTED PAIR (5/5)
CLASSICS ON AUDIBLE (5/5)

THE RIGHTS & THE WRONGS

Jeopardy! Round Potential Lach Trash: $2,200



JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE
Austin found the Daily Double on the 5th clue. Austin had $2,000, Rich was scoreless, and Rain had nothing in the bank. Austin made it a True Daily Double, wagering $2,000.

VIDEO GAMES $1000: Impossible architecture is found in this "valley", a mobile game that shares a name with a place in Utah & Arizona
(Austin: What is...Zion?)
(Alex: What is [*] Valley)
(Austin: Oh, whatever.)
(Alex: So you're now tied.)
(Laughter.)

SCORES AT THE FIRST BREAK
Austin: $2,800
Rain: $1,800
Rich: -$200

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS



Alex: Rain Dunaway is a medical student from Kentucky who may have gotten into medical school because of our program?

Rain: That's right. So my interview for Louisville was the day before my audition for Jeopardy!. I happened to mention it during the course of my interview, and a couple months later, I got the phone call that I was in to medical school. So correlation does not equal causation, but...

[Laughter]

Alex: Of course it does in this case.




Alex: Rich Coble from Philadelphia. Attorney. As a child, show business came into your life. How?

Rich: A little bit. My hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut, is where P.T. Barnum was the mayor. So we have a festival every year, and I participated going for the Tom Thumb Award. I did not win, but I had fun.

Alex: Did you come close to winning?

Rich: I wasn't Thumb-y enough.

Alex: Ah. All right.




Alex: Austin Rogers, bartender from New York. Our champion, whose brother is currently deployed. Where?

Austin: Yeah. I am not allowed to say. He's somewhere in the Middle East, with the 417th Engineering Company. And I just wanna say, "Hey, Cade, I guess we're both in desert wastelands." L.A. joke. Up top.

[Austin high-fives Alex]

Alex: All right.

TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
STATES BY COLORFUL LOCALES $400: Brownsville & White Settlement

STATES BY COLORFUL LOCALES $1000: Black Oak & Blue Eye

THIRD TIME'S A "CHA'"RM $800: Champagne is mainly made of 3 grapes: pinot noir, pinot meunier & this white one
(Austin: What is chablis?)
(Alex: Ah, the C-H-A comes up in [*].)

SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Austin: $5,400
Rain: $4,600
Rich: $0

Austin did indeed change his appearance somewhat between tapings as expected. For results it was another typical victory in Austin making a 33K payday seem like just another day at the office. Even if Rain had bet everything on her DD it still would have been a lock.

Alex filled in a piece for the TOC puzzle in mentioning that Austin has qualified for the TOC next month and will play unless he is still the champ in the game that precedes it. If Austin loses sooner in October than later there would be time for someone else to qualify and that could test the sacred 5-time champ level for being included.

It’s one thing for Tim Kutz to seem not to make it with his four wins $107K. If Jon Eisenman missed out with 5 wins that’s a whole other thing and would leave a bad taste with the long time span between tournaments being a factor.

To me the only fair thing to do would be to make the potential qualified champ after Austin be the alternate and have to wait for 2019.

My Marktiple choice for the FJ! clue had no chance of success as working with three groups in the clue had me looking at something related to 3: Trinity, Trevi (the way I went) and trivia were all off base.

The Archive’s two previous hits show I’ve seen the groups previously, but it’s been too long and too infrequent to stick for me.

#5226, aired 2007-05-07
GAUL'S GONE WILD! $800: In "Commentaries on the Gallic War" he described Gaul as being inhabited by the Belgae, the Aquitani & the Gauls
#1623, aired 1991-09-25
JULIUS CAESAR $200: The Belgae, Aquitani & Celts, according to Caesar inhabited its 3 parts


Nice solve by Austin to show he’s fine so far with any kind of uptick in FJ! clue difficulty we may see this week.

The weird stumper of the day was Mary Baker Eddy = Christian Science. Really, players?

Austin forcing Alex into a high five after the desert wasteland comment was Austin being Austin. I guess by game 10 players feel quite friendly with the host?

CLASSICS ON AUDIOTAPE was the umpteenth set up for Alex to use his Draccent. On the clock: Trebek’s “Bogart.”

Today did have the closing with the players staying in place and of course the balloon animal opening got an encore.

I said “France” but I’m negging myself as it’s pinned to a quote. (In my defence I got to the area required pretty quickly, but didn’t remember to translate to ancient.)

I negged on the TS asking for the state of Blue Eye (I couldn't remember the other one). Blue Eye, Arkansas is twinned with Blue Eye, Missouri right across the border. Blue Eye, MO is where televangelist Jim Bakker has set up shop recently.

It helped on FJ to remember that the Celts were another name for the Gauls (though that may depend on the context?) and that Eleanor of Aquitane was born in France.

Thanks to high school Latin for making this an FJ I had written down and gone back to eating dinner before the music started.

Once again it appeared he would be challenged as Rain had a solid start. But Austin again had a strong second round to get the lock. Her small DD wager clinched it for him but even an extra $3,000 doesn't break his lock.

Stupidly couldn't think of a game with frogs in it or a "blocky" game, yet I somehow got Civilization. And still no Undertale or Night in the Woods clues.

Colorful States was sorely lacking in TOM. NHO any of the places in the clues. Silver Spring at $200?!?

Skunked "Cha"rm and Ends in "Ing", which is rare for me in word categories.

NHO "certified check".

The opening and closing categories were easy sweeps for me in wheelhouse categories: Videogames and Bond.

$2000 wager when you're that far behind does seem pretty situationally unaware, but it ended up not mattering at all.

Another solid win. Of course when one player didn't perform very well and the other played for second place it makes it easier. :shock: :lol:

Would make for a fun poll question, who thought Rain would correctly wager everything on the final DD? Perhaps the first 0% in history?

I have no idea what that clue was trying to say but 'croak' got me to Frogger (with about as much confidence as Austin had). Tetris is still the best selling game of all time? I thought for sure Minecraft or some Wii crap had passed it by now. Also Civ4 > 6.

To go along with contestants who hit the DD down 13k with ~7 clues left, and bet 2000. Austin might be here a long time.

For FJ, Celts distracted me for a bit, but once Aquitani -> France clicked, I was home free...and then 10 seconds later I realized that they were going for Gaul, in the nick of time :roll:

VIDEO GAMES $400: “The Dog Policeman” is the theme that lets you know it’s time for this game—don’t croak

From Wikipedia: The game's opening tune is the first verse of a Japanese children's song called Inu No Omawarisan (The Dog Policeman). The song remained intact in the US release. Other Japanese tunes that are played during gameplay include the themes to the anime Hana no Ko Lunlun and Araiguma Rascal. The US release also has "Yankee Doodle Dandy".

*********
I clammed on the clue as I thought Frogger, but did not attempt to cross the street.

Not just that it's pinned to a quote, but France is incorrect geographically. The ancient area of Gaul was substantially larger than present-day France.

I got this FJ after a few seconds, after initially considering France. (The inclusion of the Belgae was my tip-off that it couldn't be France.) Julius Caesar's The Conquest of Gaul is one of those books that I bought one time but never read.

A typical Austin victory. A $22,200 Coryat (which is similar to his best Coryats during the April tapings), which was lower than it could have been due to his seemingly-uncharacteristic-for-a-superchampion 5 negs (although I fell for the Chablis neg-bait on the wine clue too). And as I've repeatedly maintained, his Coryats understate his true level of quality because he uses DD's (especially in the DJ round) as a major tool in his arsenal, plus he usually gets FJ correct (although that often doesn't matter, since he now has 6 runaways in his first 10 games).

In the "ends in ING" category, for the retractable thing on the Roman Colosseum whose Latin name was velarium, I had "covering" instead of "awning," and I think they would have accepted that.

I was surprised Austin got Chardonnay wrong given his profession.

"Charlotte" was a devious false trail for the NC Research Triangle question; it's actually two hours away on the SC border. Given that my wife is from Raleigh, I would have gotten in trouble for missing that one.
