About Jeopardy!
“Jeopardy!” is a classic game show — with a twist. The answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. Three contestants, including the previous show’s champion, compete in six categories and in three rounds (with each round’s “answers” being worth more prize money). In the third round, “Final Jeopardy,” the contestants can name their own jackpot — as long as it’s within the amount of money they’ve already earned. If a player finishes the second round with zero dollars, they are eliminated from “Final Jeopardy.”
What was the final question?
Is march14,2022 a repeat
What were the questions that none of the contestants had an answer for?
Nell had a mistake on one of the the stately clues. She clearly said safar Arizona. And said it didn’t sound right. It should have been
safarizona I heard it on the airing and then went back to listen to the DVRd version
If that Canadian Ham would just shut up and only answer the questions or ask for a clue, she would be less of a pain in the neck.
You got your wish.
