Andy here with a recap of Friday’s episode (slightly late, I know!)
Today’s players:
J! round categories:
ANCIENT ROME
THE BAND THAT MADE ME FAMOUS
ON THE CORPORATE WEBPAGE
FINISH THE SEUSS LINE
THE FEMALE PERSUASION
THE “OOD” LIFE
It was Jennifer who got off to the best start, getting 4 of the first 6 clues, but it was Sunil who had the lead by the time we reached the 15 clue mark! Scores:
Sunil $4,200
Jill $2,400
Jennifer $1,800
Jill has Zorbed (a Zorb is a large inflatable hamster-type ball, which hold three people, rolled down a hill). Jennifer chose to go to Florence and Paris instead of taking a law internship after first year of law school!
Coming out of the interviews, it was Sunil who found the first Daily Double, under ON THE CORPORATE WEBPAGE $800! Scores:
Sunil $4,800
Jill $3,000
Jennifer $2,200
Sunil bet $3,000. His clue: Bank of America’s website offers investment options with this subsidiary whose logo is a bull. Sunil said “Prudential” and fell to $1,800.
Over the rest of the round, Sunil actually managed to retake the lead, thanks to some excellent buzzer skill (and 6 of 9 correct to the end of the round). Scores after 30:
Sunil $6,200
Jill $3,400
Jennifer $2,200
DJ! round categories:
IT’S AN EXPERIMENT
IN THE “ZONE”
DUAL BIOGRAPHIES
FILMS OF THE 1920s
FURNITURE
ALTERED STATES
ALTERED STATES was an anagram category! All 3 of our players had plenty of negs in this round, keeping scores down!
The first Daily Double was found by Sunil; he got to play it quite late in the round, at the bottom of DUAL BIOGRAPHIES! Scores:
Sunil $7,800
Jennifer $6,600
Jill $5,800
Sunil bet $1,200. His clue: Sharing part of their names, these 2 sons of slaves, one a scientist & one an educator, are the subject of “Unshakable Faith”. He got just George Washington Carver, and fell to $6,600.
Jill got to play the final Daily Double, on the 4th-to-last clue of the round, under IT’S AN EXPERIMENT $1600! Scores:
Jennifer $6,600
Jill $6,200
Sunil $6,200
Jill bet $1,000. Her clue: In the 1940s John Draize did eye irritancy tests of these cute animals; we don’t like scientists to do that anymore. Her correct response put her at $7,200!
Sunil, however, got the final 2 clues for $3,600 and the lead! After the end of the round, the scores were:
Sunil $9,800
Jill $7,200
Jennifer $6,600
FJ! category: BRITISH AUTHORS
FJ! clue: The Pharmaceutical Journal praised her 1920 first novel, saying it dealt “with poisons in a knowledgeable way”
Jennifer 6600 – 3201 = 3399
Jill 7200 + 5001 = 12201
Sunil 9800 – 1000 = 8800
Even though I think she did the math wrong (2 times 6600 is $13,200), Jill’s the new champion! She’ll be back to defend on Monday!
