Before
we enter this review, I need to confess something. I’m a boy, not gay,
straight, but I must admit, that I got turned on by Dan Feitel –wait for it- Dan
Feitel’s Final Jeopardy bet. Do I get turned on by Dan Feitel himself? Not my
type. He seems like somebody from The Bachelor. But I admire his assholeness.
ENTER PLAYER INTRODUCTION!
- - A librarian assistant from California, Victoria Machado (who learned reciting ABCD backwards because scared of going to jail)
- - An army public affair chief from Kentucky, Randy Pike (who tried to touch the Pope. Yes, the Vatican Pope )
- - An attorney from New Jersey, Dan Feitel whose 4-Day winning is $ 99,999 (and loves wine blind tasting)
This
seems like a chaos.
Jeopardy!

The
categories were:

|
ENTERING

The
game starts with Randy and Dan having ‘tug-of-war’ on the category ‘FICTIONAL
PLACES’ continued by ‘THE LAW OF THE LAND’, but suddenly Victoria hopped in at
$800 clue and find the Daily Double at the “THE LAW OF THE LAND” for $1,000.

Clue: Tennessee bars holding office if you take part in these, Though Tenn.'s Andrew Jackson Took part in as
many a 100
Alex:
Victoria? Anything?
Victoria:
No. Sorry.
Alex:
He took part at 100 duels.
That
will be tough, assuming you don’t know the answer. My first instinct was bank
robberies.
Unfortunately,
there’s nothing exciting in Jeopardy! round. But there’s a lot in Double
Jeopardy!

Victoria
picked $400 “HISTORIC MOTTO & SLOGAN”, only to be snatched by Randy. The
$800 clue was picked again by Victoria and daily double at $1,200 with “HISTORIC

The
difference between Dan’s predicted winning ($ 17,100) and Randy’s ($ 13,100) is
$ 4,000. She is in a position to commit True Daily Double (but if she answered
incorrectly, she will be standing on thin ice.) However, she said she wasn’t
confident, so $ 1,000 is ok.
CLUE: Huey Long adapted this slogan from a speech by William Jennings
Bryan that goes on to say, "BUT NO ONE WEARS A CROWN"
Victoria:
"What is everyman is a king?"
That is
correct question, she went into 2nd place.

I love
Double Jeopardy! Put $ 1,000 into the mixture and the predict-o-meter changed
by a total of ~ 7%.
We keep
moving, they get rid of the category one-by one, first historic motto,
vocabulary, motto, science, the ‘Moore or Les’ (surprised that the daily double
was not at that category), leaving us with “CANADIAN CITIES”. Randy who was
with the control went into “Daily Double hunting” mode and picked $ 1,600.
Nothing! But he was lucky that is was a Triple Stumper. He hit the $ 1,200 clue,
KACHING! That’s the Daily Double.

(If you’re
wondering how my computer got 100%, please asked me in the comment section.) He
wagered $ 5,400. Big one, but I disagree with it. We predict Dan’s score will
be $ 15,600 and Victoria’s score will be $ 8,500. That’s $ 7,100 difference and
also elimination point, which means that if at the end of Double Jeopardy! your
final score is less than $ 7,100, you’re mathematically eliminated.
So he’s
score is less then why elimination point, why it’s bad idea to go big? The
reason I started this blog is to calculate how many $$$ you can bet without
risking getting below the elimination point. If he answered incorrectly, he
will drop to $ 200. Say he gets all the $ 3,200; he will be standing with $
3,400, still below the elimination point. The most he can bet is $ 1,900. If he
answered incorrectly, he will go down to $3,900. If he sweeps the final three
clues, he will be able to finish with exactly $7,100.
$ 5,400
is a mistake, Clavin Daily Double, and he got punished.
Clue: The swan is a symbol of this Ontario city; each year, white &
black swans are released into the Avon river
Randy:
What is Edminto? (I misheard this?)
Alex:
What is Strafford? You have to think Avon River, Shakespeare.

My opinion
That’s
just Dan. Keep making crazy bet. =D The jboard.tv folks seem to stars rooting
against him (due to his bet), but you know what, it’s his money. I’m going to
assume that we will meet Dan at Tournament of Champion. (Also, note to self: Don't let Excel change the cell to currency)
