Jeopardy! recap for Mon., Oct. 28

Introducing today's contestants:

- Steve, a playwright from Kentucky, writes with his wife;
- Diana, a scheduler/planner from Tennessee, taught English in Japan; and
- Kris, a customer service representative from Ontario, encountered a small moose family.  Kris is a one-day champ with winnings of $37,600.


Steve expanded his lead on DD3 and finished strongly to show the way into FJ with $17,400 vs. $10,600 for Diana and $7,200 for Kris.

DD1, $800 - HALLOWEEN TRADITIONS - This no-hands Halloween game may be related to the Roman celebration of the goddess Pamona (Diana won $1,000 from her score of $2,600 to take the lead.)

DD2, $800 - PEN NAMES - A perfect spy could tell you it's the pen name of the British novelist born David John Moore Cornwell (Diana lost $1,200 from her leading total of $10.400.)

DD3, $1,200 - GREEK ISLES - For 200 years the Knights Hospitaler ruled this island that was formerly occupied by an over 100-foot-tall colossal statue (Steve added $3,000 to his first place score of $10,000.)

FJ - 19TH CENTURY AMERICA - Before its official opening on May 24, 1883 Emily Roebling became the first person to cross it in a carriage

Everyone was correct on FJ, with Steve adding $3,801 to win with $21,201.

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew the "c" word for the body's connective tissue is cartilage.

Shameless shilling: There was a film clip presented by Woody Harrelson and a plug by Alex for the upcoming movie "Midway", and lots of commercial slogans used in clues in the candy category.

Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is bobbing for apples?
DD2 - Who is John le Carré?
DD3 - What is Rhodes?
FJ - What is the Brooklyn Bridge?
