Andy here! Today’s second set of semifinalists:


J! round categories:
WON THE BATTLE, LOST THE WAR
ACTRESSES

FIRST RESPONSES

ACTRESSES $800 had the Daily Double; it was Brad’s to play! Scores:

Brad $4,400
Tom $1,200
Leszek $0

Brad went for the True Daily Double! His clue: This portrayer of the screen’s classic Southern Belle was born in India to British parents. Brad’s correct response put him at $8,800. He got a further $1,000 clue before the break to extend his lead!

The interview spoke of what our players would do if they won the whole thing! Tom has five kids nearing college; Brad needs a new Porsche!

FIRST RESPONSES was interesting, it was a category where none of the responses had ever come up before! I’m surprised that they’d never done anything on Family Circus’ Bil Keane, though!

Scores after 30:
Brad $13,800
Tom $3,400
Leszek $0

DJ! round categories:
SHIP SHAPE
STATE FACTS
ALL KINDS OF MUSIC
“DEC”ADES
LIBRARIES

Brad $20,600
Tom $3,400
Leszek -$1,600

Brad bet $5,000. His clue: This state is nicknamed the “Corporate Capital”. His correct response put him at $25,600!

As the players hunted down the final Daily Double, Brad kept ringing in first most of the time! He also found the other Daily Double under LIBRARIES $2,000! Scores:

Brad $32,400
Tom $4,600
Leszek $2,000

Brad bet $2,000. His clue: The George W. Bush Presidential Library is on the campus of this university. Brad went for Texas A&M, and Tom showed his class ring!

Going into Final, the scores were:

Brad $32,800
Tom $6,600
Leszek $5,200

FJ! category: MONARCHS

FJ! clue: 2 teen Hashemite cousins officially took the thrones of their respective countries May 2, 1953: Faisal of Iraq & him

Leszek 5200 + 5199 = 10399
Tom 6600 + 1992 = 8592
Brad 32800 + 0 = 32800

Brad is our second semifinalist!

The third semifinal is tomorrow!
