I don't really care for this form of "Jeopardy!"

that oregon clue really got me in the mood for some beaver 😮

Only by U.S standards is it a palindrome. Rest of the world. nope

I see Sam buttrey there! And yes he doesn’t compete anymore. But I don’t see buzzy cohen, Amy Schneider, Matt amodio, mattea roach, and James Holzhauer.

Honestly, what the Hell Else could it be in Fricken Mexico! A Kangaroo in a Suit of Armour?

I never knew the "why" of the invention, but it just made perfect sense.

Back when there were typewriters, they were also really useful as a way to keep the paper from falling out as you typed at the bottom of the page. Just put one on the back of the bottom of the page.

What a fun Final Jeopardy. Really enjoyed watching this

Gobsmacked to see my Charlie Mack Mystery as a Jeopardy clue. Bucket List dream come true! Thanks, Jeopardy!

What! I thought they were invented by Michele and Romy 😂

Easy!

I knew the scientist’s name, but not the Dutch translation.

Two of the top seeds making the finals of the 2025 Tournament of Champions!! We love to see it! Literally the opposite of the 2024 Tournament of Champions, where two of the top seeds got eliminated in the quarterfinals

I got this one right.

Corbin blue from high school musical.

I hadn't heard this story, but I did get the correct answer. I may have heard the name Art Fry in connection with it, somewhere; not sure.

I had the right scientist…

Thank you for posting this on here....I recorded it on my DVR, but a Special Report came on right before FINAL JEOPARDY because of the plane crash over the Potomac River.

I got it just from the category.

To the people whining about this question, it’s a perfect example of why you will never be in the ToC. You do NOT need to know Dutch to get this question right. Here is the pathway: 1.) The man is called van Leeuwenhoek. 2.) Part of his name contains the Dutch word for an animal, and a large one at that. 3.) Dutch is one of the closest living languages to English. This is basic linguistics and if you don’t know that, sad day for you. 4.) Given the closeness of English and Dutch, the word in Dutch should resemble the word in English. Especially if it’s a Jeopardy question. 5.) What part of Leeuwenhoek’s name resembles that of an English word for the same animal? 6.) leeuwen = lion Stretch your mind just a bit and you can recognize “lion” and “leeuwen” are cognates. So cope harder, you babies.

I nominate this as the worst final Jeopardy clue of the Ken Jennings era.

This one was pretty easy.

I had heard stories of this man, but I couldn't remember his name. And an animal larger than a bacterium? Well, there was more than one to choose from.

Got after the music,

Final Jeopardy: 3/5 Clue: 3. Strangely worded Title: 2. Misleading. It's the grammar. Or, is it just me? Fairness: 3 One contestant got it right. Fun Factor: 2 Teenagers scratching their heads. Time: 4 Irrelevant I got it wrong, even though I speak German. If I had seen his name, I would have got it right!😂

For tomorrow, I am team Neilesh.

The clue is off. He invented a low-tack adhesive and when 3M didn’t initially want it, used the samples to mark his hymnal.

did he say " OUR STARS" ??? who are these people ? NOT FAMOUS ive never seen them before they really scrape the bottom for these D LIST actors to call "CELEBRRITIES" LOL

Is that the Corbin Blue from High school Musical

Heretic pastor gets it wrong. SHOCKING.

I got this right away

I thought it was bumper sticker.

When I saw the clue, I thought that the whole point of asking for the name of the animal instead of the scientist was to avoid subjecting us to some very comical spellings of Leeuwenhoek's name. I did not imagine that two of the contestants would flounder so helplessly. After all, this is the semifinal of the Tournament of Champions. Fortunately, the person who got it is the one going into the final.

Knew the name; don't speak Dutch

I'm 40+ years out of college and I had the right guy but could only remember van lee and had no idea of the translation.

Congratulations natalie on advancing to the semi finals on celebrity jeopardy

I’m so bummed that Amy won’t be in the finals 😢

I had the right scientist but couldn't work it back to the animal. Toughie!

Romy and Michele fans should know this.

A dartboard question if you don't know Dutch.

Took a guess, and I was correct. Yay!

The correct wager Chris DiStefano was supposed to do is $9,901 to cover Natalie Morales.

Wow! Good for her. I use them all the time.. Them and empty Index cards to figure something on.. I didn't guess it.

I got it even before the Think! music.

I never would have gotten this.
