Season 40 Final Jeopardy Contest

[SoMuchTV]

Week 46:  1/5, no *.

Season 40:  80/231 (counting the tiebreaker), 9/80*

I only started counting in S38, but to document it for the ages...

S38: 56/165 .321 6* (I got a way different episode count than @zoey1996 - 33 weeks from Sept 13 to April 29 - was that the season that got cut short by the strike?) - never mind - user error.  I quit before the season ended.

S39:  85/230 .370 7*

S40:  80/231 .346 9*

Thanks everyone, especially @Clanstarling!

1/5 I’m in the same group as a lot of you with Molly Brown. I wish to thank everyone for a fun season and lots of good food. Special shout out to @Clanstarlingfor keeping score. I’m popping a cork for the end of the season and wishing everyone a wonderful rest of their summer 🍾🥂

See you in September 💁🏼‍♀️

[Clanstarling]

Thank you all for your shoutouts. I'm working on the totals and prizes (as the scores come in). It has been fun!

Oops, my bad, the repressed memories are coming back to me now.  That was the first season I did the contest, and I was doing so badly that I just quit keeping count.  I decided to come back and stick with it the next season, and that was when I realized, oh, well - that's just my baseline!

WEEK 46 AND FINAL (22 JUL): 3/5, one *.

[dankesean]

Alas, ended on a whimper more than a bang. 2/5, no *.

Thanks for the season, everyone!

[Grundoon59]

2/5 this week with no * D.H. Lawrence - where did I pull that from?  Not a clue.  Also, Molly Brown - I remember visiting her house in Denver as a young Grundoon, plus of course, the musical.  For the O.K. Corral, I got fixated on the Great Chicago fire and Mrs. O'Leary's mythical cow.  No idea for the others.

It has been a treat hanging out with you all this season.  Thanks to all, but especially @Clanstarling!  See everyone next season - have a great rest of the summer!

I'd like to salute the late, great Saber, who started this wonderful thread.  We miss you, sweetie.

What a beautiful sweet woman. We miss you so much down here. Thank you for all of your work here, and for being a friend, and a relentlessly kind human being.

Saber (Jane) used to love praline candy. Every time I’d go to New Orleans I’d mail her a box. I miss her 💔

May I suggest that the winner of this and further Final Jeopardy Contests be given the Saber5055 Memorial Award.

That is a lovely idea. Thank you for thinking of it!

Congrats to you smartypants! I am not surprised at any of the names in that group.

Thank you so much, @Clanstarling, for doing this for us.

[Driad]

Congratulations, The Art and Sound, and Grundoon59!  Imagine the anthems of your choice playing.

[ams1001]

Congrats to all the Jeopolympians!

[Browncoat]

Congrats to our Jeopardy champions!  Imagine "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" playing for you all.

 Congratulations to all our winners 🥇🥈🥉

I had a wonderful time with everyone this season and wish you all a good one ahead 😊

[Driad]

For the end-of-season-40 celebration, I'll bring a big box of chocolate Olympic medals so everyone can have one.

Just tell the announcer your accomplishment (real or imaginary) and what music to play (anything you want, as long as it's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald").
