Andy here with a recap from Wednesday!
Before I forget again, here’s a picture of Jeanie with Colby Burnett!
Today’s contestants:
Ed played very well yesterday; will he win again?
J! Round Categories
TEXAS WINE
NOT-SO-CURRENT SLANG
NATIVE LANDS
A CHAPTER IN THE NOVEL
TOYS
HIS LAST NFL TEAM
Jerome went hunting early and came up with a Daily Double, under A CHAPTER IN THE NOVEL $600! Scores:
Jerome $1,000
Molly $400
Ed $0
Jerome went for $1,000. His clue: For kids: “Up the Mountain to Alm-Uncle” & “Winter in Dorfli”. His correct response put him at $2,000!
Ed hit some buzzer timing in NATIVE LANDS just before the break to take the lead from Jerome! Scores after 15:
Ed $3,400
Jerome $3,000
Molly $800
Alex went to the romantic story on Molly’s card; Molly’s pilot husband proposed by having a friend write “Just Say Yes” on the beach and taking Molly up for a flyover!
Back to the game, a Triple Stumper in HIS LAST NFL TEAM $800: In 1984 Franco Harris ran out the clock with Jim Zorn & Steve Largent on this team. $1000 being a Triple was even more surprising (to me at least)! Joe Montana went 17-8 over his last 2 seasons as QB for this Midwest AFC team
By the end of 30, scores were:
Ed $4,400
Jerome $3,400
Molly $-$600
Lots of negs kept the score down.
DJ! round categories:
SMART STREETS
THE CHORUS
HEADLINE NEWS
SWEET RELIEF
A CHEMISTRY SET
PUT YOUR LIPS TOGETHER & “BLO”
SMART STREETS $800 had the first Daily Double! Ed got to play it, with scores at:
Ed $7,600
Jerome $5,800
Molly $3,800
Ed went much too small, betting just $1,400. His clue: The Emerson Playground is on Thoreau Street in this city. Ed said Boston, falling for the trap, and fell to $6,200.
This gave Jerome an opening, and he went on a mini run before finding the final Daily Double under A CHEMISTRY SET $1200! Scores:
Jerome $11,000
Ed $7,000
Molly $3,800
Jerome bet $3,000. His clue: In zoology, it’s an insectivore; in chemistry it’s a unit related to atomic weights. Jerome had no answer and fell to $8,000.
The minute-to-go signal came with 9 clues left in the round! The “time up signal” came with 6 to go in the round! Unbelievable. So many clues unplayed (including 4 in THE CHORUS)!
Scores going into Final:
Jerome $12,800
Ed $5,800
Molly $5,400
FJ! category: 20 YEARS AGO IN ENTERTAINMENT
FJ! clue: In 1994 this comedian starred in a No. 1 sitcom, the No. 1 Christmas movie & had a No. 1 non-fiction bestseller
Molly 5400 – 5399 = 1
Ed 5800 + 5000 = 10800
Jerome 12800 + 1199 = 13999
Jerome’s the champ; he’ll be back tomorrow!
Here’s a question I wrote in 2011, by the way:
