Way to go, Adriana!!! You are a powerhouse!!
This was a tough one!
I know!! I saw this one. Just knew Adriana was going to lose today, good thing she won again though. Susan and Kaitlin gave Adriana a run for her money. She could NOT miss Final Jeopardy! I was glad Adriana didn’t and Kaitlin in the right missed FJ.
Whew!!! Those challengers were REALLY REALLY SMART!!!!!!!
Not very fun fact: Adriana’s 13th game was the first game where she wasn’t leading before Final Jeopardy.
This was my Mom’s line of work for decades - she got this almost right away!
This is Adriana’s 9th consecutive correct FJ response since her 5th win.
That was a nailbiter! People believe 13 is sometimes an unlucky number on Fridays, but good thing Adriana Harmeyer proved us wrong with her 13th win.
Part of me thinks 13 is lucky, but the other part of me thinks otherwise. I have mixed feelings with that number. But there's no doubt that 7 is my favorite, and lucky, number!
@@jacobvanantwerp2001well apparently both today’s match and Adriana’s 7th game proved our points because her 7th game was a lock game
@@manodakshin6020 Yeah, makes sense.
Yes, good thing Adriana won. We would be doomed if not. The other contestants feel differently, I would guess?
@@matthewdubay1180the challengers probably wanted to end Adriana’s 12-day streak
$ 299,000 💵 !! in Winnings !! 🇺🇸
No matter her result next show, $300000 minimum in winnings.
This is almost like Ray Lalonde when he entered final jeopardy in second place for the first time in game 11.
"Affirmative Action", keeping... (it's after midnight and I've had a few beers.)
I got it at the last second, at first thinking it might be Selective Service. (I know the draft was already around, but I thought perhaps they'd changed the name.)
Harmeyer is a beast. Plays it really cool but she's an epic player
What a nailbiter!
Woah she pulled that one out at the last minute.
I guessed Affirmative Action, then mentally crossed out that answer in favor of Selective Service, since 1961 was around the time of the Vietnam War
Selective service act was in 1948. Way before the 60’s.
not a bad guess
yeah i think the biggest hint was "the word Positive was almost used", so i got there by thinking about synonyms for 'Positive' -> Affirmative, then Affirmative Action which completed that alliteration element
Hmm, I thought this one was easy at first, but from the results, I guess not! Maybe it’s the fact that I already knew that in some countries, “positive action” or “positive discrimination” is a word for affirmative action. Regardless, Adriana saves herself with that correct question!
Can someone explain why kaitlin bet $410? It makes no sense to me
In the event her competitors bet big and got their answers wrong.
Imagine if Adriana rounded it to $300,000 instead of $299,000 lol
I would had loved to seen a even $300k
This is one of those questions that you overthink, then when the answer's revealed, it seems a lot more obvious. I wish I got this correct. All I could think of was the Civil Rights Act, one of which did occur in 1957. 😕
Can something be a lot more obvious? Maybe I don't know what the word obvious means? Also, why do you assume that it was a question, that I would overthink? I knew the answer, I didn't have to think.
I'll admit it. I overthought it tonight. I was struggling to find a two worded response that was alliterative in nature.
When the correct response came up, I was thinking, "$#:-" No excuse on my end. It was a program that I overlooked in the end.
@@hsupower we are so happy that you admitted it. We will sleep better tonight.
@@hsupower no excuse, you just said you over thought it? Is that not an excuse?
I knew Compassionate Conservative was much more recent, but couldn't get to Affirmative Action. I'll just blame my brain's nattering nabobs of negativism...
Had Adriana made the first Daily Double a true Daily Double, she would've been in the lead by $400, which would've made Kaitlin's wager a lot more interesting!
As for Ken describing Susan's wager as a "smart bet", that's debatable.
Only rarely is wagering everything from third a smart bet (see game 4 of the 2024 Tournament of Champions). In case this was a triple stumper, a more strategic bet would be $5,800. Had Kaitlin bet to cover Adriana and Adriana bet to cover Susan, which she technically did, they would've fallen to $799 and $4,399, respectively. And Susan would've fallen to $4,400.
I did say Affirmative Action, but would Equal Employment also have been valid?
I'm not American and I knew the answer right away thanks to watching too many US movies. 👍
Let's here some guesses from the audience! And Go!
Well....around the time of the civil rights movement and alliterative...hmmm. Took me a minute but i got it.
60's... executive order... civil rights... pretty short leap to the correct answer.
they didn't say anything about civil rights, but yeah that was the era
@@bhakti235 I know. They didn't say anything about civil rights. But it was an executive order written in 1961. There's a pretty short list of topics to choose from. I guess I should have written that 60's and "executive order" makes for a short leap to civil rights, and then another short leap to the correct answer.
Unfortunately, the phrase "affirmative action" is not an alliteration by any stretch of the imagination. By definition, an alliteration is the repetition of the initial sound (not necessarily initial letter), usually a consonant sound (as in "Peter Piper) in two or more words of a phrase. Even if you use the loose definition to include initial vowel sound, "affirmative action" still does not work since the initial "a" in " affirmative" does not have the same sound as the "a" in "action".
W H A T I S A F F I R M A T I V E A C T I O N ?????
Spoiler blocker
This tells me much more about the other 2 players than it does the champ.
I got this Final Jeopardy! clue right.
None of these wagers make sense.
Adriana's did. She likes her numbers round, so she bet to cover Susan and rounded it to the next 100.
I do disagree with Ken about Susan's bet, though. She should have played for the triple stumper instead of betting it all. Kaitlin could have bet $399 and done the same.
@@BlueCrystalTear Thank you! Adriana has two choices: bet to cover Susan doing exactly what she did or bet small in case everyone gets it wrong.
Affirmative action that correct, Adriana is a 13 day of $299,000. Congratulation 🎉
that isnt alliteration
Came here to say this!
Repeated consonant sounds is Alliteration. Repeated vowel sounds is Assonance.
I was never going to get it, with that misworded clue.
@@kortney00 Alliteration is only at the start of a word and can be either vowels or consonants, whereas assonance doesn't have to be (and generally isn't) at the start of a word
It’s the very definition of alliteration.
@@SM-ji1qe no it isn't. alliteration is repeated consonant sounds at the beginning of words
@@hgb0005 look up the whole definition instead of cherry picking what fits your narrative. I’m a teacher/editor/writer. I get paid to know it.
I noticed they threw that question at an all-female competition. Are they trying to tell them something?
No, the games are selected in advance by a different group of people than the ones who select which contestants play which episodes.
