Tough category of the day: The players missed three out of five in a category about TV theme lyrics, including “Ted Lasso”, which must have broken the hearts of the writers.
Jeopardy! rule book: “Jell-o” was not an acceptable response for “gelatin”. This is a case where I wouldn’t mind hearing before the ruling, “Could you be less specific?”
Correct Qs: DD1 – What is Glasgow? DD2 – Who are Dolce & Gabbana? DD3 – Who is Lilith? FJ – What is geothermal?
