CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Liz McCarthy is from New Jersey, and she tells us that her mom was a game show maven, which means what?
Liz: My mother knew everything. And in 1959 she was on Tic-Tac-Dough and won $50,000 and bought our first house.
Alex: My gosh. That would be like a million, five hundred thousand...
Liz: She'd be Ken Jennings today.
Alex: Yeah, all right.
Alex: Hannah Ewing, I've got good news for you. Your response of "comptroller" a little while ago was deemed acceptable after the fact.
Hannah: Thank you.
Alex: And so you're picking up $1,600.
Hannah: Wonderful.
Alex: So you're at plus-$1,400. That make you feel good?
Hannah: It does.
Alex: Something else that should make you feel good has to do with sea turtles
Hannah: Yes.
Alex: And the work you did saving some of them.
Hannah: Yep, I was on the balcony of the house I was living in and saw some men pulling a sea turtle out of the Atlantic Ocean. Decided the smartest thing to do was to chase people through the jungle, take pictures, handed the pictures over to the United Nations officials. And they were apprehended and the sea turtles survived.
Alex: Good for you.
Hannah: Thank you.
Alex: Way to go.
Alex: Lane Flynn is our champion, folks. He is from Atlanta, Georgia. You bought your high school dream car. I wanna hear about that, 'cause I have my high school dream car also.
Lane: I did. So when I was in high school, I wanted a blue BMW M3 convertible. And these were very expensive. I couldn't afford one, didn't have one, but almost 20 years later, you can get ones that are not in great shape, but pretty cheap. So I bought one and for the past two years I've been fixing it up, and it runs. I've been having a great time, and that's what I've done.
Alex: My high school dream car was a Chevy.
[Laughter]
Lane: Gotta dream big.
Alex: Yeah, all right.

Four-fifths for first place.

FINAL JEOPARDY! CLUE
This 1990 novel made into a blockbuster film says the Hammond Foundation "has spent $17 million on amber"

Lane: $10,000 + $9,201 = $19,201 (What is Jurassic Park?) (2-day champion: $38,399)

Re: Thursday, March 8, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
Cool story that Liz's mom won big on Tic Tac Dough in 1959.
The reversal clue was STATE GOVERNMENT $800: A state treasurer manages revenue & this official reviews how state money has been spent
Hannah was negged for the comptroller when Alex wanted auditor and he gave her the money back at story time.
Liz missed DD3 and it's a haunter since it cost her the match while Lane survived losing 3K on his miss on DD2.
The FJ! clue had 3/3 written all over it and the players came through. Being able to turn BESTSELLING NOVELS into a movie clue worked fine for me to be done before the music began.
So close to a 61-clue game.

The P-40? Really? I'd bet that gets missed 99 times out of 100.

I have no idea why they negged comptroller in the first place. Also thought that 10th amendment clue might have warranted a BMS, but I'm not a constitutional expert.
I can NEVER keep those P-model WW2 planes straight in my head. Tonight was no exception. Poll request? I'm curious if it's just me.
Super-instaget FJ.

Re: Thursday, March 8, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
How was 14 Points a stand and stare? I'm exhausted from work and suck at history, and I still got that one.
Can't say I've heard of a "pullover" or "La Boheme", thus ensuring my streak of being completely unable to run a Stupid Answers.
Saw no way to figure out any of those Olympics clues. I didn't see a single TOM for China in the top box. That entire category seemed YEKIOYD.
Also couldn't think of anything to put together to form a bowl. That whole category was miles over my head.
Ran the Music category.
Lach Trash: 14 points, train, diminished
I had no idea what to even guess on FJ! I couldn't manage to process "Amber" as anything other than a name. Alex's tipoff after the music ended finally put the pieces together.

I settled on Jurassic Park near the end of the music, even though I didn't feel totally confident about it.

Re: P-40
Not a problem for an old warbird buff like me, but I still think it's too obscure for Jeopardy, even in the $2000 row. Especially with the age generation of most J! players. P-51 is the only WWII fighter (alpha-neumeric) that is 'universally' known by appearance anymore.DavidRosen wrote:There are a lot of us who spent many teenage hours building models of WWII planes.econgator wrote: The P-40?

Poll request; I don't think it would go over 20%.

Never read the book or saw the movie, but got FJ on a complete guess.
Didn’t know the plane. I thought of “all other powers”, but clammed because I couldn’t think of a more eloquent way to put it.

Bestselling Novels is a category that would’ve had me nervous, but this one was an instaget for me. I’ve read the book and watched the movie a few times.

Re: P-40
I don't think it'll break 10%...but will be more than 1%. P-51's the only one I could name, too.Category 13 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 9:13 pmNot a problem for an old warbird buff like me, but I still think it's too obscure for Jeopardy, even in the $2000 row.

Instafinal.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Anyone else follow my lead in thinking Amber was a name and not the substance?
