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:

Christi $3,800
Sally $800

THE 6 WIVES OF HENRY VIII
WEIRD SPORTS

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!
