Cameron found the Daily Double very early on (JUST A WORD BEFORE GOING $600); scores:
Ben $200
Cameron $200
Laurie $0
Cameron bet $1000. His clue: A final manifesto attributed to him in 1883 was “Last words are for fools who haven’t said enough”. His correct response put him at $1,200.
All 3 players had good gets and buzzes in the opening 15, and the end of the rightmost three categories, the scores sat at:
Cameron $3,000
Ben $2,600
Laurie $2,200
Cameron’s choice of sports include brooms — he plays both Muggle Quidditch and curling!
Ben’s current employer? Babies ‘R’ Us!
Laurie’s interests include Arthurian legend, after being inpsired by Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings!
The math category seemed to trip up our contestants a little bit!
At the end of 30, the scores were:
Ben $5,600
Laurie $4,000
Cameron $3,400

A couple of Triple Stumpers in “S”PORTS TALK – I’m sure Jeanie got this one at $1600 (To take a tennis match 6-1 6-2 is to “win in” these)

It took awhile for the Daily Doubles to come out; the first one was under 19th CENTURY BOOKS & AUTHORS $2000. It was Cameron’s to play. Scores:
Ben $10,400
Cameron $6,200
Laurie $4,800
Cameron bet $800. His clue: Between 1872 and 1882 she wrote 6 volumes of “Aunt Jo’s scrap-bag”. Cameron went for “Austen” and fell to $5,400.
KING ME $800 had the final Daily Double. This one was Laurie’s! Scores:
Ben $10,400
Cameron $5,400
Laurie $5,200
Laurie bet $1,000. We have our second Tweet of the Night:
Two folks on#Jeopardy! wagered short on Daily Doubles in categories they didn’t like.#gametheory— Ben Ingram (@julysixteenth)February 12, 2014
Laurie’s clue: In 1922 King Victor Emmanuell III refused to proclaim martial law to stop this man’s march on Rome. Laurie’s correct response put her at $6,200.
After one neg, Laurie did well in RHYME TIME to ensure Ben didn’t have a complete lock!

Ben $16,400
Laurie $8,200
Cameron $5,400
