🎶 Alison ..My Aim Is True 🎶 🎯

I also drew a total blank and stared at the TV, then wrote it at the last second. College prepared me well.

Alison 🔥 is it too early to say she’ll be a 5-day champ?

He was quite a fan of Edgar Allan Poe's works. He, in turn, was a big influence on H.G. Wells.

didn't know that

The fact that the name was French helped a lot but the fact that theme was sci-fi clinched who it was for me easily

Now that regular gameplay is back, fingers crossed that Alison becomes a 4+ day champ. She was doing well in her first two games

I guessed Poe 😦

Were you all surprised that Amy Schneider was the Producer's Pick for Masters? I was hoping that Brad Rutter would be the one.

Yeah I was really pulling for Troy Meyer, Ben Chan, Brad Rutter, or Cris Pannullo to be the producer’s pick for Masters, but I am fine with Amy Schneider too. It looked like Brad probably wanted to decline as he was disappointed after being toppled by Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer in the GOAT Tournament.

I think the whole producer’s pick reeks. Nothing against Amy personally, because I do like her, but she lost. In fact, she lost twice. She got eliminated in last year's Masters, and now in the invitational tournament. He keeps saying Jeopardy is a sport. Well, if the Braves lose in the playoffs, the Commissioner of baseball doesn’t get to put them back in. There is a definite lack of integrity in the way conducts himself.

@@bellabliss1860. I dislike the whole idea of a producer’s pick. Everyone should earn their spot, not get in because Davies thinks you’re good for ratings.

I thought maybe Foucault

The French name of the son and the sci-fi theme of the book led straight to Verne. I like his books, but learned something new about his son.

@@KingfisherTalkingPictures To be fair to judithmoore7892, Final Jeopardy only takes 2 minutes to watch. If you don't want to know the answer before watching the video, just wait 2 minutes until the video is complete before looking at the comments.

Since the tournament ended, I've felt quite smart in the finals lol!

And on homestuck day no less

Congratulations alison on winning a two day total of $61,700 well done

Oh Come on, eopardy! You couldn't pick anyone else to be in the tournament?! Why not Ben Chan? People love him, and he got screwed over, one by your host, and another by that piece of crap.

Given that the Producer’s Pick for the 2024 Masters was Amy Schneider, it’s reasonable (though bold) to predict that Yogesh Raut WILL get demolished in the 2024 Masters. Honestly, however, that’s the outcome I want to see given that Victoria, Matt, and the other 2024 Masters contestants overall had better behavior than Yogesh.

Too easy!

I guessed Wells, then crossed it out for Micheal Crichton, and then crossed it out for Verne. I thought that the French name Michel must be part of the clue.

I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right.

Fun fact: The last time Jules Verne came up on Final Jeopardy was on Cris Pannullo's 11th game! The question was: Featuring a statue of a man escaping his grave, his tomb in Amiens contrasts with the title of his 1864 adventure novel.

Huh...

I figured it was a French author, due to the son having a French name, but I had no idea other than that. I'm a bit ashamed of myself.

Verne that correct, Ailson is a 2 day of $61,700. Congratulations 🎉
