Andy here with another recap! I have pictures today!
No Tweets Of The Night today as I’ve had my phone shut off (deliberately) for the last 14 hours and counting. So no Twitter for me! It feels good. Everybody should do it at some point!
Today’s contestants:
J! round categories:
HARRY POTTER & THE CHAPTER TITLES
THE BIG BAND THEORY
“FOO” ON YOU
WATER GATE
BLACK SOCKS
SCANDAL
Jennifer was a Harry Potter fan and she went straight into there after getting the opening clue! She ended up getting 4/5 in the category! (I got all 5.)
At the first break, the scores were:
Jennifer $3,600
Chip $1,400
Karen $0
Karen once took a yoga class from a man who claimed to be a 102 year old swami! At the end of the class, the yoga master put his feet behind his head. This flabbergasted Alex!
Back to the game, a surprising Triple Stumper (SCANDAL $600: On film, Ralph Fiennes portrayed this real-life intellectual who was involved in a 1950s quiz show scandal); you’d think that quiz show contestants would be up on the history of the genre!
SCANDAL $800: In 2013 Rob Ford, mayor of this 4th-largest city in N. America, first said he smoked weed, not crack…then yes, OK, crack, too
I don’t care. I’m still not going off in search of Tweets of the Night.
SCANDAL $1000: The Daily Double. Scores:
Chip $6,200
Jennifer $5,200
Karen $800
Chip bet $2,000. His clue: In 1991 he went to prison on drug charges; 3 years later, he was reelected mayor of D.C. Chip’s correct response put him at $8,200 and took us to our second break.
DJ! round categories:
READ THE BOOK, SAW IT ON HBO
GEOMETRY
HEAD FOR THE BORDERS
FLAKES
ANIMAL WORDS & PHRASES
WHAT ARE THEY?
Karen came out charging in ANIMAL WORDS & PHRASES, bringing herself back into the game! Jennifer got to play the first Daily Double, midway through the round, though, under GEOMETRY $1600. Scores:
Chip $9,000
Jennifer $8,400
Karen $4,000
Jennifer bet $1,400. Her clue: Johannes Kepler used this geometric figure to describe the orbits of planets, with the sun as a focus. Jennifer gave the wrong word… and her score fell to $7,000.
I feel as though the Daily Double miss was difficult on Jennifer, as she definitely seemed more down after it!
The final Daily Double was under FLAKES, with the minute-to-go signal already given. Karen went straight to $1200 where she found the Daily Double. Scores:
Chip $9,000
Jennifer $8,600
Karen $4,000
Karen bet $2,000. Her clue: One reason this famed fresco began flaking soon after completion in 1498 was that it was painted on dry plaster. Karen said “Sistine Chapel” and fell to $2,000.
The top two FLAKES clues went unseen; scores going into Final:
Chip $9,000
Jennifer $8,600
Karen $3,600
FJ! category: NOTABLE NAMES
FJ! clue: During a jubilee celebration, he became the first foreigner to be made an honorary citizen of Nepal
Karen 3600 – 2900 = 700
Jennifer 8600 – 8000 = 600
Chip 9000 + 8300 = 17300
I have no words for these wagers. Please, if you’re reading this and are preparing for the show, take some time to look at wagering strategy. It can only help you.
In any case, Chip emerges alive to fight another day. I’ll have the recap tomorrow.
