Today’s contestants:
Jessica Hurtt, a program co-ordinator from Columbus, OH![]() |
Brandon Steenson, an attorney from Kansas City, MO![]() |
Roy Hollis, a real estate agent from Huron Township, MI (1-day total: $5,000)![]() |
This was pure, unadulterated destruction from Roy, and one of those performances where I’ll look back to last week’s game and think “If only last week’s players had bet better…”, because they have let loose a beast. Roy went 4/4 in SPORTS BOOK and HATE THE GAME, and 3/4 in UNUSUAL TERMS, 1000-YARD RUSHING TEAMMATES, and THAT’S A RIOT. Brandon did the best he could, hitting a $5,000 True Daily Double midway, but that was pretty much as close as Brandon got.
Scores going into Final Jeopardy:
Roy 24,000 (29 right, 2 wrong)
Brandon 7,500 (11 right, 4 wrong)
