Season 35 Final Jeopardy Contest

[Good Queen Jane]

2/4 with one *. I said Emma Goldberg instead of Emma Goldman. That's three quarters right. Too bad we don't do fractions.

[Browncoat]

1/4 with one * for me this week.

[j5cochran]

Two out of four, with one asterisk!

[opus]

O/4  this week 

[GenerationX]

Thank goodness for Friday's show!  1/4 with an asterisk.

[peeayebee]

Big ol' goose egg for the week. WOOOOO!!!

[SHD]

The tournament has thrown me off - I don’t remember the questions this week. Not going to lie - I think I got 0, but I need to see the list of FJs first.

[illdoc]

Week 25:   1/4 (0 *)   Overall:   75/123 (9 *)  I so hate this tournament!!!

[DXD526]

The big ol' goose egg here, too. Overall, I'm enjoying the tournament, but didn't much enjoy FJ this week!

Ditto!! A big fat 0 here too. 

I did almost get Rembrandt.  I knew the Van Rijn part but them my mouth blurted out Raphael instead of Rembrandt. 

[Driad]

2/4, one *.

For some reason, I completely forgot about the FJ contest this week.  :-(   Team Goose Egg for the win! I declare myself captain. Here are the clues:

WEEK 25 — TWO asterisks  
120. European Artists. His seldom-used last name reflects his birth near the mouth of a river that flows from the Alps to the North Sea.
121. 20th Century History. Interpreting for Vaclav Havel, future ambassador Rita Klimova gave us this phrase for a smooth change of government.
 *122. British Literature. A chapter of “The Jungle Book” has this double-talk title, echoing the opening line of a Brit’s poem some 100 years prior. *
 *123. Presidential Election Years. Prior to 2016 it was the last election year in which the winning candidate had never held public elected office. *

Hi Captain! I'm hoping to get Wednesday's right. I figure for the next two nights it'll be things like Prime Ministers of the Netherlands from 1848-1849    (it's Jacobus Mattheüs de Kempenaer, if Wikipedia is to be believed)

I am going to be VEEEEERY suspicious if Monday's FJ subject is PMs of the Netherlands.

[biakbiak]

3/4 with 1 *.

[Clanstarling]

1/4 with 1*

[SHD]

OK, it’s official. Week 25: 0/4

[lb60]

Week 25: 0 for 4.

<sniffles> 

I hate this tournament.

[Toothbrush]

2/4 with one *

[helpmerhonda]

My first perfect week! Yay!

Wait. 0/4

Stupid tournament.

[Fex]

1, with *

I feel like I could have come up with Rembrandt if I hadn't read/heard the clue wrong. I was trying to come up with an artist who was born in the Alps. Pay attention, Fex!

[Good Queen Jane]

2/4 with 1 *. Is it wrong that I feel proud I got a FJ that stumped the All Stars?

Not at all. Of course, I was pretty pleased myself, so I may be biased.

[M. Darcy]

2/4 with 1* 

[GrannySmith]

On a cruise last week, so just caught up today. 1/4 with 1*. It may have helped that I visited Truman’s Little White House last Wednesday. 

[Sharpie66]

All caught up! Last three weeks-3/5, 3/4, and just 1/4.

[saber5055]

Only missing @peeayebee's score for last week. *tap tap*

[peeayebee]

I said I got a goose egg. Zero. Zilch. Zippo.

[j5cochran]

Week 26: Four of five.  I can't believe I got both of the All Stars Tournament questions right, and missed the first one back with regular contestants.  Backlash!?!  Argh!!!

[SHD]

Week 26: 3/5

[GrannySmith]

0/5

[saber5055]

WEEK 26 — ONE asterisk  
124. Ancient Writings. Its principles still used today, this treatise has chapters called “Weak Points & Strong” & “Tactical Dispositions.”
125. Constitutional Amendment Math. Total of the numbers of the amendments banning state-sponsored official religion, ending slavery & repealing Prohibition.
* 126. Word Origins. This 8-letter word for a reaction against a trend comes from an engineering term for a jolt caused by a gap in machine parts. *
127. Art. This famous work of art was damaged in 1652 when a door was cut into a wall, removing Jesus’ feet.
128. 20th Century Newsmakers. In 1982 a probate judge in his home state of Michigan declared him legally dead.

[peeayebee]

3/5, one *

[M. Darcy]

3/5

[biakbiak]

5/5 and *! Yay for lucky guesses.  I swear this year has had fewer biblical FJs because they are typically my downfall. 

[Sharpie66]

4/5 (bad math!!)

[lb60]

Week 26: 2 for 5, 1 *.

Not great, but after the disaster of last week, I'll take it.

[Browncoat]

3/5, one asterisk.

[GenerationX]

4/5 with one asterisk.  I determined right away there were the two ways to Tuesday's answer, but I couldn't get to the answer using either method.

[Trey]

3/5 this week.

[Driad]

3/5.

[Clanstarling]

3/5 one *

[zoey1996]

Week 26 - 3/5, one *

Season to date - 62/128, 9*

[DXD526]

2/5. Not bad, should have been better. Felt so smart figuring out Tuesday's clue, then they all got it (they were all-stars, though!). And I agree with those who say it was a badly-worded clue. Friday was an instaget and was so surprised when only one of them got it right.

[illdoc]

Week 26:  4/5  (0 asterisk)   Overall: 79/128 (9 asterisk).
