Andy here with another recap!

It’s weird not to have Julia at the champion’s lectern!

Today’s players:


J! round categories:
WRAPPER’S DELIGHT
MICHIGAN ODDS & ENDS
WHAT KIND OF ANIMATED ANIMAL ARE YOU?
DIFFERS BY A LETTER
THAT’S ALL IN THE PAST
I’M A CHANGED MAN!

Once we got through the first clue (MICHIGAN $200: Appropriately, this type of public building in Grand Rapids is named after astronaut Roger B. Chaffee) that flummoxed our players, Sarah got off to a good start! She got to play the first Daily Double, under THAT’S ALL IN THE PAST $600! Scores:

Sarah $5,000
Heather $1,800
Guy -$200

She bet $2,000. Her clue: Paul Revere whipped up patriotic anger with his image of this bloody 1770 event.. Her correct response put her at $7,000 and the game to its first break!


Meanwhile, as I’m compiling this, Eugenie Bouchard is playing Maria Sharapova. Eugene just won the first set 6-4!

At Guy’s wedding, the rings came in laced to the threads of a football!

Going back to the game, Sarah kept up her buzzer dominance; she broke into five figures with a category and a half still to play! At the end of 30, the scores were:

Sarah $11,000
Heather $3,800
Guy $2,000

DJ! round categories:
INTERNATIONAL ROAD VEHICLE STICKERS
THE THEATRE
1940s NEWSMAKERS
“ISM” QUEST
FOOD IN THE BIBLE
BODY LATIN

FOOD IN THE BIBLE $1200 had the first Daily Double, it was Guy’s to play! Scores:

Sarah $11,800
Heather $4,600
Guy $3,200

Guy went for the True Daily Double! (I like this.) His clue: After the Israelites crossed into Canaan & other sustenance was available, this food stopped falling. His immediate correct response put him at $6,400 — and he then got the $2,000 clue to go to $8,400!

The other Daily Double came under THEATRE $1200! This one was Heather’s! Scores:

Sarah $11,800
Guy $8,400
Heather $5,000

Heather went for $3,500. Her clue: This magazine began in 1884 as a handout for David Belasco’s “May Blossom”. Her correct response put her at $8,500!

Sarah’s strong performance in ROAD VEHICLE STICKERS, coupled with expensive negs from Guy and Heather in that category and THEATRE, respectively, kept her in a strong position!

Scores going into Final:

Sarah $19,400
Guy $15,200
Heather $8,900

FJ! category: THE BEATLES

FJ! clue: Of the Beatles’ 20 U.S. No. 1 hits, this song has the shortest title

Heather 8900 + 8000 = 16900
Guy 15200 – 6200 = 9000
Sarah 19400 + 12000 = 31400

Sarah will make it onto our list with another win, but she’ll need three more to make the Tournament of Champions!

We’ll be back tomorrow with another recap!
