I thought it was super easy....and then I realized I didn't even think about Ukraine.

I was thinking Yugoslavia, but I guess my history is off.

​@@wheatgrowssweet You may have been thinking of a couple different things. 1) Most of Yugoslavia was formed from former Austro-Hungarian states after WWI. 2) After WW2, Yugoslavia became a communist state, but was never part of the USSR, and actually split from the Soviets entirely in 1948, asking the US for assistance while remaining communist ( or more specifically, Titoist).

Spoiler alert: It's great to see this new, refreshed Victoria! It's clear and evident that her practice with The Chase and trivia quizzing has paid off mightily for her, and she's definitely a much stronger player now than she was in her first appearance on Jeopardy. With several other amazing contestants this tourney It's difficult to say whether or not she'll win, but she's certainly in contention! I kinda hope we get a long-awaited David and Victoria rematch in the semis... Would be nice to see!

Nice to see Victoria do well, and look forward to the next season of The Chase with her on it.

The Queen has merged Victorious tonight no pun intended.

It’s too bad KZread has begun randomly displaying the single comment under the video and auto-changing it throughout the video. This was working great for the final jeopardy videos. Oh well, back to covering the comment up with my thumb to prevent spoilers.

Ikr _ but it was all I could think of

Ah in the immortal words of Herman Cain (RIP): the country of "Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan"

I had the same answer as Drew. This was a tricky one.

Interesting angle from which to have to muster an answer in seconds. Fascinating as usual.

We need a rematch David Madden vs Victoria Groce🔥

Absolutely!

Spoiler: I thought of Uzbekistan, but then Yugoslavia came to mind - until I realized that it broke up as well in the early 1990s.

I guessed 🇺🇿 instead of 🇺🇦

I’ve just been working on a documentary about that part of the world. Sheer luck.

I like Victoria, but I’m not keen on allowing someone who has been paid as a trivia expert to come back and play on Jeopardy.

it is an invitational tournament, there are plenty of highly qualified people playing.

I'd say it's time for a new adult jeopardy where they don't ask questions about the po-po. Give us a break kids.

I got that one

This one was so easy.

Figured it was a "stan" but couldn't figure out which one.

I don't have regular TV anymore. What tournament is this and why has every night for the past 3 months moved someone into the semifinals?

I think the finals are scheduled as part of the entertainment connected to the 2028 Olympics in LA with the final match as part of the Closing Ceremonies. And people think the soccer World Cup is a long tournament.

It's the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament _ JIT. The first part was for contestants that scored well but didn't win - 2nd chance opportunity. Now it's the contestants that won, competing for the finals.

This seemed too easy.

It should be easy, but then we have to quickly try to rearrange everything in alphabetical order _and_ write the answer down in question form during the 30 seconds. Not an easy task.

Never considered Ukraine. Easy. Reminded me of the similar African question some time ago. Wasn't that one Uganda?
