Not only was Torchy Blane the inspiration for the character Lois Lane, famously Clark Kent (Superman)’s co-worker at the Daily Planet in the DC Comics series, the name Lois Lane comes from the name of the actress Lola Lane, who portrayed Blane in the 1938 film Torchy Blane in Panama.

It was Do who found the first Daily Double, and he took full advantage, turning this into a close game by doubling up through it! Amy got $4,000 on the last one and could have had a runaway had the last 9 clues turned in her favor; unfortunately for her, Do picked up a very crucial $2,000 rebound of an Amy neg in order to make the game close going into Final! The scores going into the 61st clue were Amy at $23,800, Do at $17,200, and Erin at $3,600.

Amy 30 correct 3 incorrect
Do 17 correct 0 incorrect

Today’s interviews:
Do has never been to a hockey or football game.
Erin is a 5th-generation teacher.
Amy has a tattoo of Ozma of Oz (she was in the sequels).
Andy’s Thoughts:
- Daily Double wagering is much harder than Final Jeopardy wagering, and DD3 was in a tricky situation today, especially with it being at the $2000 level. Hindsight is also 20-20.
Today’s “Clue of the Day” was: This annual festival began in 1810 when Prince Ludwig of Bavaria invited the people of Munich to join in celebrating his marriage; it was in the category Joy to the World. The correct response: What is Oktoberfest?
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Amy $23,800 Do $17,200 Erin $3,600)
Amy: Standard cover bet over Do is $10,601. (Actual bet: $11,000)
Erin: Really not much you can do today—bet whatever you’d like. (Actual bet: $3,600)
Do: If Amy bets to cover you and is incorrect, she falls to $13,199. Limit your bet to $3,999. (Actual bet: $3,999)
