Here are today's contestants:
- Victor, an analytics developer from Florida, helps the Jacksonville Jaguars with data;
- Holly, a nurse from Colorado, considers herself to be a bowl of tomato soup; and
- Jason, a math teacher from New Mexico, whose tie was tied by his father years ago. Jason is a six-day champ with winnings of $137,300.
After an early stumble on DD1, it was all champ Jason in an easy romp, taking both DDs in DJ and leading into FJ with $29,600 vs. $7,800 for Holly and $400 for Victor.
DD1, $1,000 - FROM PAGE TO SCREEN - Emma Stone played aspiring writer Skeeter Phelan in this 60s-set film based on the novel of the same name (Jason lost $2,700 from his score of $3,400.)
DD2, $1,600 - THE 1820s - In 1828 explorer René Caillié became the first European to visit this city now in central Mali & survive to tell the tale (Jason won $4,000 from his total of $12,700.)
DD3, $1,200 - WORLD CURRENCY - In 2018 its president Erdogan urged his people to take euros & dollars from under their pillows & convert them to the native lira (Jason won $2,500 from his score of $23,900.)
FJ - BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY - A site excavated since 1899, Tell es-Safi has been identified as this Philistine city, home to a giant warrior
Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Jason dropped only $400 to win with $29,200 for a seven-day total of $166,500.
Car conundrums: The players missed three clues about Cars of the Year, including ones about the Toyota Prius, Chevy Corvette and Ford Thunderbird.
This day in Trebekistan: Alex opened the show by saying he's "happy to report I'm still here". The feeling is mutual, sir.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is "The Help"?
DD2 - What is Timbuktu?
DD3 - What is Turkey?
FJ - What is Gath? (Sadly, Holly was incorrect with vastly superior name "Goliathtown".)
