CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Before I get into talking to our contestants, I have good news for our two challengers on the program today. It has to do with that response a little while ago about annual revenue or annual rate of return. We were trying to be cute when we said, "Blame it on the rain," but we could have written the clue a little better. So you're each getting back what you lost and $1,000. So you now have $2,800, Nick. Tell me about a band called the Ex-Choir Boys that you were once a member of.
Nick: Yeah, so when I was in grade school I was a choir boy at the Church of St. John the Divine in New York. And I had a bunch of friends, and we decided we liked rock 'n' roll music a little more. So after our voices changed, they kicked us out. We started a little rock band.
Alex: Okay, good for you.
Alex: Now Ruth, the same applies to you. You're getting $2,000 more. Now your boyfriend, who is now your husband, did something kind of nice, kind of romantic, when the two of you were in college. Tell us.
Ruth: He did. My husband, Kevin--this was pre-email, pre-cell phones. He wanted me to have mail in my mailbox every day, so every single day that we were apart, he wrote me a letter, a hand-written letter, and mailed it to me.
Alex: How sweet.
Alex: Scott McFadden is our champion. You and I have something in common. You traveled to Germany before the wall came down.
Scott: Yes.
Alex: And you went through...
Scott: Checkpoint Charlie. It was with the high school German club. This was back in 1983 or something like that. And yeah, we went to East Berlin--well, to Berlin, and crossed over into East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie.
Alex: And did you go there for a meal?
Scott: No.
Alex: Oh, that's too bad.
Scott: We just--
Alex: One of the great things about going to East Berlin at that time--and that's about the time when I went through, 1985--was you could go to a great restaurant in East Berlin, have a feast for $2.50. Made me feel real good. I bought for everybody.
JEOPARDY! ROUND DAILY DOUBLE

Scott: $23,000
Ruth: $13,600
Nick: $4,600
FINAL JEOPARDY! CATEGORY
18th CENTURY NOTABLES
VENUSIAN MONOLOGUES/MARTIAN CHRONICLES
Crush for first place.
Scott: Wager $4,201 to cover Ruth, but no more than $13,799 so as not to fall behind Nick's doubled score.
Ruth: You have the hope of surpassing Scott if you come up with the correct response. Bet at least $9,401 to force Scott to wager to win; but if you're intent on holding on to second place, wager no more than $4,399 to protect your second place position from being usurped by Nick.
Nick: Unfortunately, your score is less than the difference between the scores of the first and second place players, so unless they both blunder, you're competing for second place and have no hopes of first. 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
Researchers in London & Vienna now speculate that his 1791 death was due to a strep infection, not poisoning

(Nick: What is revenue?)

CLOTHING IN THE MIDDLE AGES $800: The head covering seen here, it shares its name with a place to house a pup
(Scott: What is a tent?)

Re: Friday, June 29, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
I'll be curious to see how this FJ polls. My guess is that the contestants were thrown off by the reference to London. Otherwise, I don't understand how Scott and Nick couldn't even come up with someone famous from that era as a wild guess. Ruth's guess was certainly interesting - but at least she wrote something down.

Not an instaget for sure, but I was able to shrug off the London reference and get to a famous Austrian from that time period. 5/5 and now 11 in a row (Pisces was my last miss).

MULTIPLE A’S $1000: Blame it on the AAR, meaning average annual this
This turned out to be a +$3000 clue with return, revenue and rain all getting correct responses after the writer’s attempted cutsie hint going for “blame it on the rain” backfiring.
It did not matter, but Nick gave away an $800 rebound on a phrasing error. Practice phrasing at home people.
The FJ! category had me dreading some kind of throwing at dart at a philosopher’s dartboard. Oh, composers? Not much better, but enough that I hit the bullseye. Between previous J! clues and seeing the middle name movie it was enough to help me guess right.
Alex asked Ruth what she had scratched out and Ruth did not give up the information. She had to have been thinking something as clearly she started it. Perhaps Alex was like me and thought he detected an M? My recollection of instructions was a single line cross-out and not a full-on scribble out. Is that still what the contestants hear?
The contestants’ darts were in the wall, ceiling and floor. So, Scott does have a green outfit. Boo on not wearing it yesterday. He’s halfway to a Justin Vossler color-a-day run.

I was shocked this was a TS.
I was expecting someone from the American Revolution or maybe Adam Smith. I honestly thought Mozart lived in the 1800s, but I had no other guess.
If everyone gets a clue “right”, is that a no harm/no foul scenario?

Re: Friday, June 29, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
I have no idea why I got Frederic March, but his name popped out of the hopper so quickly that I was pretty sure it was correct--I don't think he would have ever occurred to me if he were not the correct response.
I'm strong on classical music, so Mozart occurred to me and I had no reason to rule him out.

I thought that would be a triple get. Anybody have any insight on how London might have been a TOM?

I wasn't aware that Mozart died of poisoning, but Vienna + 1791 (thanks, Falco) = Mozart.

Didn't recognize anything in that A's category. Clothing was pretty strange too -- I saw no way to figure out "neck" in the top box.
Poll request for Adventure Time clue because I'm curious how many here got it.
Lach Trash: Set Fire to the Rain
Had no idea what to even WAG. Historic poisoning + European had me hit a dead end after knowing Beethoven was wrong.

I had absolutely no idea that Mozart was supposedly poisoned -- and I would expect to know something like that. I discounted London and Vienna, figuring that England and Austria (actually, I was stupidly thinking Germany) are generally hotbeds of science.
My first thought was Rasputin but I knew he cam later. So I started thing about the Czars and settled on Peter the Great.

Ooh, early 1790s, who famously died?
Instantly went to Jean-Paul Marat.
Oops.

For me it was 1791 death -> Mozart, with Vienna being a nice hint but not really necessary.
I would've eaten my socks and shoes if any of them had gotten that $2000 Faith Evans clue.

So true! It's always a drag (I always run the tape back to see how many we were cheated out of), but it's especially sad when it's an uncommon or new category, and one that catches your interest. It doesn't help much to assume that most of the individual clues, at least, will show up at a later date.

They rarely if ever play the Falco version that has that verse in it, which is sad. Luckily I still have it on cassette tape not to mention burned forever into my memory from constant playing as a kid. And that has helped me answer numerous Mozart question over the years that would otherwise seem impossible.
Not long after the song came out Mozart was a question in the Fame Game round of Sale of the Century. The clue started "I was born in 1756....."

First place I went to was Salieri's cries of "Mozart!" from Amadeus. Glad I came up with nothing better.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.
