Rosetta is the city, the stone is the object that was named after it. The grammar was her downfall.

Ok Phil Keoghan😏

the awesome power of matt jackson strikes terror into my heart

Alan Lin defeated 12 game champion Austin Rogers in the 2017 Tournament of Champions Quarterfinals and came ahead of him in the Finals. Matt Jackson was a 13 game champion who was Ken Jennings-esque. He was a very strong superchampion in the pre-Holzhauer era! Terry O'Shea was a Princeton student who faced Julia Collins in the 2014 Tournament of Champions Semifinals, she's the nicest contestant the show has ever seen, and is just the kindest person ever!

Speaking of Austin Rogers, he’s playing on Monday, and I hope he beats Amy Schneider.

Comment to prevent spoilers

Andrew He scored $33,601, Larissa Kelly scored $40,200, and Matt Jackson scored $41,321. The semifinals are looking amazing so far in what's already an amazing roster!

Monday's match is going to be most interesting with Austin and Amy at the pulpit.

Don't think for a second that Matt might have already won this tournament. Absolutely anything can happen.

Congratulations matt jackson on advancing to the semi finals well done

Ooh that’s gotta hurt.

Fun fact: the rosetta stone was actually found by the French army of Napoleon in 1798. It was handed over to the British in a prisoner exchange after the campaign in egypt wrapped up.

Love Matt's smile

Fun fact: $41,200 is the highest score going into Final Jeopardy since Troy Meyer scored $46,800 in game 2 of the Tournament of Champions Finals, coincidentally the same day the Jeopardy Invitational Tournament roster was revealed! 😮

What is the Aswan dam?

Fun fact: This is the second game Terry played when Johnny Gilbert covered songs as Jeopardy questions. The first time was the first finals game of the 2014 College Championship Tournament. Since she happened to be selected for what would be the 9,000th episode and that was mentioned for The Lyrical Stylings of Johnny Gilbert, the timing was perfect! Also, those who are punk fans, this is the first time Blink-182 came up since the first week of the 2024 Champions Wildcard. The question was: It's no small thing that Tom DeLonge of this pop-punk band was mentioned during a congressional hearing about UFOs.

Even though it wouldn't have affected the outcome, seeing Terry lose on a technicality made me sadder remembering she was in Stratton's Dilemma on the very last game she played. 😢

Here's a really fun fact! On Monday's game, had Andrew He bet $20,799 to keep Dan Pawson locked into second/third place (assuming Pam would get it wrong, anyway), he would've scored $54,399. Had Matt bet $13,199 to keep Alan locked into second place, he would've scored $54,399!

Troy Meyer's now wife was a former contestant. Since he was a finalist, the tournament of which ended only three days ago, and Alan and Terry's relationships mentioned in the anecdotes were Jeopardy related, it really isn't that uncommon for Jeopardy romance, is there?

Apparently, Terri wasn’t specific enough.

@@hauntedhaunter6148 yeah, that doesn't work on a game show giving away potentially big amounts of money. Especially with the wording of the question, that's why it isn't dumb. It was worded precisely - the clue wanted the artifact, not the city. That is exactly why the 'the Rosetta' is not good enough. (Also, she didnt answer 'the Rosetta', she answered 'Rosetta'. The other two contestants got the right answer. If you you were a contestant and you lost out on a big sum of money to someone who put 'Rosetta' (not 'the Rosetta') when you put 'the Rosetta Stone', would you just go with the flow?
