Introducing today's contestants:
- Gautham, a journalist, was the FCC reporter for the Wall Street Journal;
- Jennifer, an associate professor, is a big David Bowie fan; and
- Lucy, an illustrator, has a prized collection of letters from her grandparents. Lucy is a three-day champ with winnings of $79,499.
One interesting quirk about the Thanksgiving weekend box office is that, while massive blockbusters have rolled out the day before the holiday for years, the #1 movie over the long weekend is usually the holdover #1 movie from the previous weekend. A quirk about the following weekend (the first weekend of December) is that, despite being in the middle of the holiday movie season, it's almost always a dead zone, especially the last fifteen years.
