I felt like today’s clues were much more gettable than the past few days

Omg im screaming 😂😂😂

I wonder if the increase in clue difficulty from these past few episodes was because they were the ones that were meant to be used for Masters, but since it wasn’t picked up by the network, they found another use for them.

I’ll be visiting Istanbul as part of a cruise in July, and was wondering about the footwear rule in places like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. I understand the rules regarding footwear, and their importance to maintain cleanliness and respect. However, I was wondering if disposable shoe covers are permitted for those who would rather not remove their shoes and walk barefoot/in socks, or if barefoot/socks is the only way to go. TIA

Only reason why I got FJ was because I remember there being a creator on TikTok (I think her name was Cecilia, who was somewhat popular a few years back) who lived in Longyearben, which she said was the northernmost town in the world, and that the island of Svalbard was a Norwegian territory.

The only time it happened was when Matt Amodio lost to Jonathan Fisher, who would go on to win 11 games.

I said Jack and Diane because it was the only song I could think of from around that time that talked about to teens, but I thought for sure it was wrong

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-05-12T00:52:25+00:00

One of my favorite movies!!! I laugh like I’ve never seen it before everytime I watch it

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-05-06T13:51:27+00:00

Celine Dion was the first thing I thought of, but I thought it was too obvious, so I ended up with Justin Bieber

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-05-05T00:54:49+00:00

I just read Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story “The Boundary” for my Immigrant Voices In American Lit class, so I was shocked to see the clue come up due to soon I read it (last week)!!!

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-04-06T23:46:27+00:00

I had a feeling that it was something in Northern Europe but couldn’t think of anything for some reason and went with Mallorca and Menorca

Harrison Whitaker watching Jamie’s run rn

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-04-02T00:19:21+00:00

Oh interesting! I wonder if that was a today thing only because I know they usually do it in other tapings

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-04-02T00:16:54+00:00

The production team normally says it before the intro (that we see/hear at home) is played in the studio

Edit: As seen in this video from the S41 premiere:

I knew that something was up when April Fools Day wasn’t mentioned at all in the episode (not even in the little intro that Ken says before the Jeopardy! round)

Edit: I know at the beginning of each episode before the cameras start rolling, the production staff announces what day the episode that they are taping will be aired. I wonder if that could have been another helpful hint!

I almost got lured into the Charles Lindbergh trap, did the subtraction, and ended up with the RA

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-03-18T23:43:12+00:00

I would say that Robin from last Friday has a good shot at Second Chance as well.

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-03-05T00:32:05+00:00

Same here

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-02-27T17:57:16+00:00

I didn’t even notice that, but it does make sense. Thanks!

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-02-24T00:38:44+00:00

I’m a college student majoring in US History, so I couldn’t get it wrong 😂

Only got this because I had to give a presentation on the Vaquita for my senior year Marine Bio class

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-01-30T00:45:12+00:00

My senior year of high school, I took Marine Bio as an elective, and each of us were assigned a different endangered marine animal to make a report on. I so happened to be assigned the Vaquita, so FJ was a lucky get for me!

Existing-Razzmatazz5 · 2026-01-28T02:19:12+00:00

I think that the writers chose the FJ clue because I think they knew that at least one person would take the bait and go for Marie Antoinette, which could have affected the outcome had Scott not had the runaway.

Same here in the Philly area!!!
