Last night’s “Final Jeopardy!” category was “U.S. States.”
“It’s the only state name that can be typed using the letters on only one row of the standard keyboard.”
Last night’s edition of “Jeopardy!” featured the category “Ice Dancing.”
The answers were read by U.S. Olympic Gold Medal-winning ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
For $200: “Ice dancing was once a social sport in which top-hatted men paraded on the ice with ladies in long dresses; the skaters incorporated elements of ballroom dancing, like this elegant dance from Vienna.”
For $400: “We were longtime fans of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ before we competed on it; in fact this ‘DWTS’ pro and multiple winner of the show’s Mirrorball Trophy helped choreograph our short program for Sochi.”
For $600: “The hot ticket at the 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo was the final free dance in ice dancing; that’s when this British pair performed to Ravel’s ‘Bolero,’ earning a Gold Medal and nine perfect scores for artistic impression, a feat that has never been duplicated.”
For $800: “In 2014 we skated to music by a great Russian composer,
Rimsky-Korsakov; we used this symphonic suite in which (Davis) assumed the title role of a sultan’s wife who spins stories to entertain her husband.”
For $1000: “A key move is this traveling turn done on one foot; the judges are watching for us to put the other foot down at the same time.”
