Yep, we get Jeopardy at 3:30 here. It’s hard not to say anything knowing most markets air it in the evening!

I though that one contestant was about to hyperventilate.

^^^We rewound the end a few times!

I did watch it. Very disappointed in the outcome. By now, everyone that cares should know how it ended. Dh and I are very disappointed that Amy's run is over. We wanted her to keep going and surpass Ken Jennings wins. Her vast knowledge really amazed us!

We were so disappointed. We love Amy. We wondered if she "took a dive" like we think that Matt Imodio did.

Even I knew BangladesH.

She (they) certainly all knew that! I had just walked into the TV room and heard the clue...and it

was just an obvious answer...even a lot of school kids would know it. Something is fishy for

sure.

I knew Bangladesh too, and I'm not noted for my mastery of geography. When it said the country was one of the most populous, I thought of India, and then immediately of Bangladesh. I was surprised Amy didn't get it.

Suzieque, what do you mean by "took a dive"? Lost intentionally? I hope not. I'd be disappointed if that were true. I've often thought, however, that the producers might let a champion's run continue to a certain point, at which they bring in the big guns--that is, serious challengers. Up to now, Amy's opponents for the most part haven't posed much of a threat.

Yeah, I think Ken Jennings was more than a little relieved. Did you hear him when Rhone made that big Daily Double wager? He said something like, "I like that!" I thought, I bet you do.

I was watching but fell asleep halfway through and missed the end. I'm sorry I missed it. I don't think she "took a dive" but she could have just been tired and not thinking so well. I think I would grow weary of it after so long.

Well, I will miss Amy. I like her a lot. We’ll be seeing her on the Champions shows, though. I have to say that it was getting a bit dull to watch her go through each game like a buzzsaw. The only interesting part was seeing who would come in second.

I felt like Matt ran out of steam. He looked tired. Amy did not. I remember being glued to the tv during Ken’s run. I thought he would go on forever. In the end it was an easy question that got him. Even I got it right. H&R Block. The answer (question) used the word seasonal and once he heard that his brain got stuck on Christmas and he could not think of another season, so he answered Fedex ( or UPS, cant remember which).

Rhone seems like a character. I liked his story about helping an older person write his bio for a dating website. Yay for librarians.

I have enjoyed all the long-run winners, but after 20 games I think it becomes old. The more they play, the better they become at the game: timing, buzzer, wagers, in addition to right answers, and they just become comfortable. And it becomes harder for challengers, who have less real-time practice and might be a bit nervous.

I read this morning that Amy said she felt the fatigue of taping was catching up with her. She said it was hard to describe the feeling, but she felt it.

Dedtired mentioned Ken Jennings getting fixated on Christmas as the season in the question that ended his reign, and I thought something similar might have happened with Amy on Final Jeopardy. When the country was described as one of most populous, her thinking may have gone to larger countries--and stayed there.

OMG! I missed it! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....Amy! I had high hopes for her.....♥ Of course if they offered to double her money if she quit "now"....I'd take that....ha ha I don't know if that's how it went down ......

I too was very surprised Amy didn’t get the answer as it popped into my feeble little mind quickly. It was fun to see Rhone’s reaction to his win. It’s nice to know Amy will be back.

I noticed a difference with Jeopardy James on his final day too. He wasn't buzzing in on questions that I know he knew the answer to, and neither was Amy. When you're not buzzing in, someone else finds the Daily Doubles. But I thought she should've gone for the high scoring questions like James did when she saw her opponent gaining on her.

I too guessed Bangladesh from the clue of populous country. I immediately thought of India and then Bangladesh.

I didn't see it but I couldn't believe that that was the first country that I thought of ending in H. So proud I knew the correct answer over the champ but she knows a gazillion more answers than I do for sure.

"Ending in H" was the clue that grabbed me immediately...then the population. "The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in an H, it's also one of the 10 most populous." With all

their knowledge...they all certainly must have known this answer?
