Final Jeopardy! Round responses

MONARCHS
(Alex: [To Bill] We needed the name, Bill, we needed the name. Sorry.)
[Explained in the opening remarks of the next show: "This ruling of ours was directly the opposite of one we made a couple of months ago in which we accepted 'Who is the Queen of the Netherlands?'--but in that earlier instance, we decided afterwards that in being overly generous with the contestant, we had probably made a mistake and were opening a can of worms that would come back to haunt us on many, many occasions, so we decided to go back to our older, stricter rules of judging in Final Jeopardy! By the way, it had no effect yesterday on the outcome of the game. Had we ruled in Bill's favor, he would not have been able to win the game, but although he finished in third place, we did give him the second-place prizes."]
