Jeopardy! recap for Thur., Jan. 4 – Sean led at every commercial break, extended his runaway margin on DD3 and finished well to nail down the win into FJ with $18,800 vs. $7,000 for champ Steph and $3,000 for Meghan.

DD1 – PAINT MISS, BEHAVING – 1929’s “The Woman and the Roses” has one of the floating females of this Belorussian-born painter who settled in France (Steph lost $1,500)

DD2 – FOE PA – In this Emma Donoghue book, “Old Nick” is the father to young Jack, who thinks to title domicile is the whole world (Steph won $2,300 on a true DD.)

DD3 – THE MEH DECADE – The 1710s in the American colonies must have been sleepy, because in 1720 came the religious revival known as this (Sean won $3,000)

FJ – CARS – When it was introduced in 1953, this car model’s emblem had a checkered flag and a red flag with a fleur-de-lis

Only Meghan was correct on FJ and made the right move by betting it all, as Steph inexplicably gave up her lock on second money by losing $3,000. Meanwhile, Sean dropped $3,800 to win with $15,000.

The comedy award of the day goes to Steph, not only for her FJ response of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, but for a clue looking for Graceland, instead offering “Gracie Mansion”.

This day in Trebekistan: If Alex had any idea what Chief Wiggum sounded like, I’m sure he would have attempted an impression, since I’m certain he can do a passable Edward G. Robinson.

Correct Qs:

DD1 – Who was Chagall?
DD2 – What is “Room”?
DD3 – What is the Great Awakening?
FJ – What is the Corvette?
