11-LETTER WORDS
TELEVISION FOR SHORT
A surprising Triple Stumper, at least to me: TELEVISION FOR SHORT $1200: This celeb-obsessed show got its name from a zone with a 30 mile radius used to monitor film shoots — this could have been in Stupid Answers, even!
The Daily Doubles stayed hidden for a long time! The first one came out on the 25th clue, 11 LETTER WORDS $1200! Scores:
Vaughn $14,800
Dan $11,800
Marcia $9,000
Marcia bet just $3,000. Her clue: It’s the term for someone who collects pieces of eight, Venetian ducats or Confederate half-dollars. Her correct response put her at $12,000.
Marcia decided she’d rather go over and finish 11-LETTER WORDS, handing the final Daily Double over to Vaughn on a platter (it was at LAUNCH $1600). Scores:
Vaughn $18,400
Marcia $13,200
Dan $11,800
Vaughn bet $200. His clue: Let’s be clear — it’s the last name of Shannon, inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2014. He had no answer, leading to scores going into Final of:
Vaughn: $18,200
Marcia: $13,200
Dan: $11,800
FJ! category: ROYALTY
FJ! clue: He was the last English monarch to die in battle
