I would’ve written “Fandango” because I was really thinking of “Fernando”. D’oh.
On the other hand, I got all the 2 word palindromes, 4 of which were triple-stumpers.
Yeah, I was amazed at that. I thought those were all easy. Maybe it’s the kind of question that is particularly more difficult under pressure, since you are not just recalling some fact.
For a triple stumper I thought the final Jeopardy was pretty easy. How many famous blue jewelry pieces are there? I wasn’t positive but I guessed correctly right away.

I guessed Hope Diamond, but I wasn’t too confident, because I was thinking it was a newer piece.
What is the special word for a group of diners at a restaurant? I didn’t hear the answer. She got it right. I always said table for x. That didn’t sound like her answer.
It’s wonderful seeing Ken host again.
I was in exactly the same boat.
But, hey, I’ve gotten the FJ correct each day this week! (Four guesses, but still counts…)
The category was “priceless objects”, and I said “what is the Hope Diamond?” Yep, I got it without even seeing the clue
I guessed Purple Heart as a color, or Congressional Medal of Honor, worn around the neck; neither are to be sold, so priceless. Maybe I was thinking it would be a Veterans Day clue
Table “top” for the number of people.
“Top,” as in “4-top” or “6-top.” It’s a measure of capacity.
ETA, didn’t read JohnGalt’s response all the way through 
.
I hadn’t a clue.* I had no idea the Hope Diamond was associated with Louis XIV or any other European monarch. I had always assumed it came from some far more exotic place, like India.
Ignorance fought!
*No pun intended.
I wasn’t familiar with Top. Thank you for clearing up my confusion.
It did.
From wikipedia:
The stone originated from the Kollur Mine, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh in India.[1] The stone is one of the famous Golconda diamonds. Earliest records show the stone was purchased in 1666 by French gem merchant Jean-Baptiste Tavernier as the Tavernier Blue .[2]
The Tavernier Blue was cut and yielded the French Blue ( Le bleu de France ), which Tavernier sold to King Louis XIV in 1668.
Both are true. The diamond came from mines in India but for most of its history it was in Europe.
Good to know! Ignorance fought again! 
I always took “top” to means the normal capacity of the table, not necessarily the number of diners in a party. I guess the term can be used for either?
I thought the same.
I know damn well the final Jeopardy wouldn’t be that easy if I was ever on.
That’s how I understand it. The capacity of a restaurant is regulated by fire codes. Counting tops would be a simple way to calculate capacity.
What a gimme that was. If I am ever on the final will be an opera question.
I guessed Avalon – at least I had the right mythos…
