That was a serious come on and win for Xiaoke Ying. Sometimes a cautious bet pays off.
Here come the finals.

[CincyDem]

1. Yeah - spoiler

It was a smart move.

Next two days should be fun, I like all three and can’t guess the winner.

[malaise]

4. Nibir Sarma and Tyler Combs have had some battles already

That said Xiaoke may use the same tactics and beat them both.
May the best person win. Fun tournament so far. We need this for some chill.

9. She Was A Happy Surprise

3. Yes. Final tomorrow

[malaise]

5. Two day final

I'm in.

[underpants]

11. Oh yeah tomorrow is Thursday

I should know that because The Goldbergs was just on.

6. I Was Shocked They All Got It Wrong

Not surprised somebody missed it, but they all got it wrong, with the same wrong answer.
That kid from Yale was who I thought would win. Made a big wager, though.

[malaise]

7. I thought he'd win too

I didn't know the final answer tonight

[CatMor]

8. I too thought the kid from Yale would win ..

it was a difficult final jeopardy. I was thinking further into the Midwest for the answer and came up blank. Never thought of Ohio.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. Truth

I immediately thought of Cleveland. I knew Garfield was buried there. Not sure why I knew that.
I would have changed my answer if I had thought of anything else, because I don't consider Cleveland Midwest.
My only other option was Madison, WI but couldn't imagine a former president was buried there, & I never heard of it.
Spent a fair amount of time with science professors at UofW.
So I stayed with my first instinct.
But, yes, I don't think eastern Ohio is the Midwest. At least not for the last 170 years.

[CatMor]

12. I should have known the answer ...

because Grover Cleveland spent many years living and beginning his political career in Buffalo where I live. Never thought of it for the answer.

[The Magistrate]

13. It Was The Northwest When It Started Out, Sir

This sort of thing moves around....

[malaise]

23. Spoiler

Nabir was great - lively personality as well.

Would love to know if he's part of the Somalia refuge population.

[rurallib]

14. The midwest reference did kind of obscure the answer, I thought

Where does the midwest begin? For some reason I seem to remember being told it started at the Illinois - Indiana line to the east. Over the years I have heard folks put Ohio and Michigan in the Midwest. One thing I thought was that the midwest states were all in the same time zone - the central.

I had no idea Garfield was buried in Cleveland. Thought of Madison and Lincoln (there is a Lincoln, Illinois also). Jefferson, Missouri crossed my mind also. But the only one I could think would land in Missouri was Truman and he's in Independence.

Thought it was a hard clue.

Here is hoping for a good final.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Lincoln, IL...

...always had good basketball teams when I was a kid. So, I know that town.
The exit is off I-55 on the way to StL.

[malaise]

20. Spoiler

They all got it wrong here again but Nabir ran away with this one.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Only Saw Final Jeopardy - SPOILER, TOO!

Was dueling with my garage door opener. I DVRd it so will watch whole thing in morning.
I don't see how they catch him. Lead is HUGE!

[malaise]

22. Spoiler

Damn this is a blowout - no way he's losing from here. He bet $5 for the daily double.

It's over. Super Smart Nabir.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Most Important Thing

With the big lead, he didn't guess. Guessing is death on that show. Especially in double jeopardy.

[malaise]

25. Amazing how Final Jeopardy beat so many players this week

Only Tyler got it right today

[Ohiogal]

15. That kid in the middle sure was fidgety!

And ... I knew the answer!!

[malaise]

16. Jonathan got in his head
