Yeah. If the judges had noticed it, Alex would've said this after the break, "Before we go into Final Jeopardy, we have some score correcting to do which I'm also sorry to say is unfortunate news for Mark. Mark, our judges noticed that when you said, "The use of tree rings," you didn't phrase it in the form of a question so we can't accept it. Which means you have to lose $1000, taking you down to $2100."

Oh my 😮

Barbara Lowe did not participate in the 1986 Tournament of Champions despite being retired undefeated during the 2nd season. She was excluded from the 1986 Tournament of Champions due to discovery of her ineligibility to appear on Jeopardy! and because she was not eligible, the argument can be made that her results are annulled and she did not win any games, but that argument is complicated by the fact that the show reportedly paid out her winnings. Lowe's 5 original games have since never been rerun. Lowe was completely disqualified from participating in the future Tournament of Champions due to being declared ineligible as a regular-play contestant for competing under a fake name and competing on another game show in the probationary period. The spot was replaced by 4-time champion Gary Palmer, who won $18,400 in 4 consecutive games.

Alex Trebek (July 22nd, 1940 - November 8th, 2020) "You are missed every day."

Barbara didn't get the Seabees clue in this game, and nearly 17 years later a Seabees question ended her run on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

Its Interesting that WLS-TV was the first among ABC Owned Stations to air Jeopardy in 1986. KGO-TV didn't get the rights to air Jeopardy until 1992 given that the way syndicated contracts went back then was from individual stations.

I don’t know when WLS started showing Jeopardy but WABC in NY started showing it at 4pm weekdays on January 1985 when The Edge of Night was cancelled. They have had J! ever since. WNBC was the original holder but didn’t have room for it on their schedule so J! was on at 1:30am on WNBC.

Barbara Lowe is one of only two qualifying contestants to not compete in the Tournament of Champions, the other one being Jerry Slowik.

RIP Alex Trebek! I remembered that both Ken Jennings and Miam Biiak are doing a good job on this game show.

8:52 started singing "Our primary colors", the LDS children's song, in my head... (sidenote: aired March 12, 1986, per j - archive)

27:05 Why is Barbara Lowe crying? Isn't that because she has won her fifth game? I felt completely sorry for her all of a sudden. 😢

1:14 I miss that sound so much! 🙂 Thanks Fuzzy! And a great grand total of... 27:10 Not bad.

Barbara seems like kind of a poor winner

At 22:21, Peter Bergman who is best known for playing Jack Abbott on "The Young and the Restless."

At 17:08, Mark didn't respond correctly. If Alex had noticed he would've said, "Oh, I'm sorry Mark. It IS the use or study of tree rings but you didn't phrase it in the form of a question so we couldn't give it to you."

Alex says that many champions have trouble winning that 5th game. Well, back then, they a limit to only 5 wins but today, that there is no limit and because of that 4 Jeopardy players crossed the $1Million mark in their winnings(2 of them even crossed the $2Million mark) Ken Jennings[74 Ws & $2.52M], James Holzhauer[32 Ws & $2.46M], Matt Amodio[38 Ws & $1.51M] and Amy Schneider[40 Ws and $1.38M]. I also recall that there was a time is a player won 5 games in a row, they would also receive a brand new car.

Oh, wow! That same week, the Syndicated version of Sale in its second to final week saw Lisa Munoz retire an undefeated champion with over $122,500.

She's kind of annoying but not maliciously. Bless, modes of behavior change over the years. Really interesting

So the winner keeps the cash, the second place finisher gets a kitchen stove and kitchen appliances, and the third place finisher gets a matching pair of his and hers watches. Back then, that's how it always was. Today the winner still keeps their winnings, the 2nd place finisher gets $2000 and the third place finisher gets $1000 which is less than what those kinds of prizes would be worth. All because of the government and inflation.

Alex had no business “consoling” the champion. These were tears of JOY. Joy is a positive emotion, whether one cries or not. You could sing for joy, smile, jump for joy, whatever, but if joy leads to tears, it is still positive. Consoling is what you do in negative emotion. Ken Jennings never cried, not even on his last game!

@@bellabliss1860 Yes. There was a very good article in The Ringer about this. People who watched the tapes suggested many of the claims made about her were never in those episodes, so either everything objected to happened offcamera (other than her correctly arguing an answer, which was in an episode), or it was just a personality clash. It's a shame how the whole thing ended, but I'm glad her side of the story has finally come out in the last few years.

If Barbara competed on $ale of the Century, she would have gone all the way, cleared the Winner's Board, win $50,000 in her 11th match and walked away with over $100,000 in cash in prizes.

She almost got away with it

She got lucky
