Disappointing trade-off for watching two-day final. Julia was really a beast on the buzzer.

Triple stumper FJ last night on a <yawn> instant get question. Leads me to ask, do we even teach history in our schools here in the US?

Julia was strangely funny when asked about the Disney trivia. She is cute.

Semi-interesting FJ with 22,995 and 2nd/3rd both tied with 15k.

Would've been better if 1st had 22,495.

As it stood, triple stumper and first bid correctly.
One shoved and the other oddly bet 10k.

No whites in the finals.

Was very saddened when the Navy kid bet five dollars on a Daily Double.

Because the DD is a chance to add a lot more to your total.

It the right strategic move if you hate the category, though with college-level clues I'm not so sure you should hate any category that much.

Re. "British English" round, I've never heard a Brit refer to a pacifier as a "comforter", we call it a "dummy", the British vernacular questions they ask are often inaccurate (the question had a second part about bedding which made dummy an unacceptable answer but I was stumped).

A DD wager is many times extremely binary. If you feel you have a >50% chance of answering correctly based on category, you wager everything. If not, wager the minimum of $5. In the first round one of those two choices is almost always correct.

Most contestants never wager $5, and that's because they're totally ignorant to wagering theory. They just pull some random number out of air that makes zero sense. Each and every time a contestant wagers $5 I know they have a wagering clue.

Respect vijan for going for it. Had the right strategy but couldn't get there.

Also daily double first question of both and Jeop and double Jeop was a shocker

I'm trying to remember the last time a 2 day final turned into a runaway.

I'm guessing Roger Craig got a runaway in his famous back-to-back DD shove TOC. And that kid with the afro in the Teen Tourney a few years ago. Seems like it's happened a few other times as well.

IIRC the afro kid actually didn't have a runaway, even though whatever he wrote as his answer suggested he did. I think he was just bad at math.
