Today’s players:
J! round categories:
ON THE “LEFT”
COOL IDEA
BESTSELLING AUTHORS BY PARTIAL TITLE
NATIONAL ANIMALS
OLDIES
NEWBIES
Christi got off to the best start over the first 15 clues. She went 3/5 in OLDIES! $1000 was a Triple Stumper though! (I’m confused– this vocal group told us, “let’s hang on to what we’ve got” & “Dawn, go away, I’m no good for you”)
Scores after 15:
Christi $2,000
Sally $800
Kay $600
Christi’s mother was angry at her, for giving birth when Christi’s mother was out of town!
Coming out of the break, Kay caught fire! She went 4/5 in NATIONAL MOVIES and 3/5 in NEWBIES! She also got to play the Daily Double, at the bottom of NATIONAL ANIMALS! Scores were:
Kay $3,600
Christi $3,400
Sally $800
Kay went for the True Daily Double! Her clue: There are no photographs, only illustrations of this symbol of Mauritius. Her correct response put her at $7,200!
Scores after 30:
Kay $9,600
Christi $3,800
Sally $800
DJ! categories:
THE 6 WIVES OF HENRY VIII
WEIRD SPORTS
“RH” FACTOR
I’M BORED
ARCHAEOLOGY
OPERA TUNES
Christi did well in I’M BORED to claw into Kay’s lead. It was Kay who got to play the Daily Double, under THE 6 WIVES OF HENRY VIII $800! Scores:
Kay $16,800
Christi $11,800
Sally $1,200
Kay bet $5,000. Her clue: She died 12 days after childbirth & is buried next to Henry. Her correct response put her at $21,800. (She then got the next three clues to get an even bigger lead!)
The final Daily Double came under ARCHAEOLOGY $1200! This one was Christi’s to play, with the scores at:
Kay $26,600
Christi $13,000
Sally $1,200
Christi bet just $3,000. Her clue: In 2013 the stone paws of one of these creatures dedicated to Egyptian king Menkaure were found in Israel. Christi said “a cat” and fell to $10,000.
OPERA TUNES was saved for last! Kay managed to keep her lock game! Scores going into Final:
Kay $30,200
Christi $13,600
Sally $1,600
FJ! category: FICTIONAL LOCALES
FJ! clue: Featured in a 1933 novel, it may have been inspired by the 1920s Tibetan travel writings of explorer Joseph Rock
Sally 1600 – 1000 = 600
Christi 13600 + 9000 = 22600
Kay 30200 + 2999 = 33199
Kay’ll be back Monday to defend! See you then!
