Andy here with a recap from Tuesday’s episode! No pictures, though!
Today’s players:
Howard Ray, Shloka Ananthanarayanan (man, am I thankful for copy & paste!), and Jill Rowley are our players; Jill won $43,802 over her first two days!
J! round categories:
WORLD HERSTORY
BAND OF BROTHERS
CHARLESTON CHOOSY
DOGGING THE “WAG”
SUGAR LAND
INCREDIBLE MACHINE
A Triple Stumper, and a nod to the North on this Canada Day (BAND OF BROTHERS $800): Grammy-winning indie rockers out of Canada: Win & William Butler)
After 15 clues, the scores sat at:
Howard $2,600
Shloka $2,000
Jill $800
Howard wants to use his winnings for a second honeymoon, after 25 years!
Alex decided to play to stereotype, talking with Shloka about the Bollywood radio show she ran at Wellesley!
Meanwhile, the gist of Jill’s interview? Alex was taken aback by the fact that there were coyotes on the runway at O’Hare!
Howard was steamrollering his competition, but it was Jill who played the Daily Double, on the final clue of the round! Scores:
Howard $8,600
Jill $2,800
Shloka $2,200
Jill went for the True Daily Double. Her clue: Duckett Hall isn’t very fortress-like, it’s in the Moorish style of much of the campus of this college. There was a picture of the hall as well; Jill got the correct response to put her score at $5,600!
DJ! round categories:
3-NAMED AUTHORS
BEASTLY VOCABULARY
“P”LACES
THAT’S SPOOKY!
ANCIENT SCIENCE
CANYUCKS
CANYUCKS was about Canadian comedians! I was happy to see that on Canada Day!
ANCIENT SCIENCE $1200 had first the Daily Double. Shloka nearly had caught up to Howard, but he got to play it! Scores:
Howard $11,000
Shloka $9,000
Jill $5,200
Howard bet $3,000. His clue: Around 400 B.C., Democritus proposed that all matter is composed of these tiny units. His correct response put him at $14,000!
“P”LACES $1600 had the final Daily Double! Shloka got to this one, meaning all 3 of our players got to a Daily Double! Scores:
Howard $15,600
Shloka $10,600
Jill $8,800
Shloka bet $5,000. Her clue: North America’s largest oil field lies in the area surrounding this Alaskan Bay. Her correct response put her at $15,600 and tied for the lead!
There were very few Triple Stumpers in the DJ! round, meaning that the scores were very high! Shloka did slightly better than Howard did, meaning our middle player had the lead going into Final!
Scores going into Final:
Shloka $20,400
Howard $19,600
Jill $8,800
FJ! category: THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
FJ! clue: The first official use of this 4-word term is at the declaration’s beginning, immediately after “the thirteen”
Jill 8800 – 2000 = 6800
Howard 19600 + 10600 = 30200
Shloka 20400 – 20000 = 400
Well, Howard’s our champ, and he’ll be back to defend tomorrow!
