- James Holzhauer, a professional sports gambler from Nevada, got the key to the Strip "disguised" as hockey's Mark Stone;
- Alan Dunn, a software development manager from Georgia, always looks great, as does Alex; and
- Lindsey Shultz. a physician healthcare analyst from Pennsylvania, got a signed book from an author whose work was the basis of a clue Lindsey knew.
James came back at the top of his form, leading at every break and cruising into FJ with a $30,309 runaway. Lindsey ($10,800) and Alan ($6,000) would look to improve their wild card positions.
DD1, $800 - THE 2010s - In 2011 this planet completed its first orbit since its discovery 165 years earlier (Lindsey won $1,800 on a true DD.)
DD2, $1,600 - SCIENCE & EXPLORATION - In the early 1800s, this German studied the ocean currents of South America; one off South America's west coast is named for him (Alan won $4,000 on a true DD.)
DD3, $2,000 - INITIALS TO ROMAN NUMERALS TO NUMBERS - For Laura's dad in the "Little House on the Prairie" books (James made a "true...ly disappointing" wager of $1,109 from his leading score of $17,600 and was correct.)
FJ - 20TH CENTURY AMERICA - In 1939, turned down by 2 local theaters, Howard University was able to get an outdoor venue for this singer's yearly concert
James and Lindsey were correct on FJ. James added a shoutout-free $326 to advance with $30,635, while Lindsey moved into second place in the wild card standings, picking up $3,200 to finish at $14,000. Alan lost everything except $1 and was eliminated.
This day in Jamestown: James wrote his name on his podium within an illustration of the iconic "Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas" sign.
Shameless shilling: A clue wanted to know the maker of Vue is Sony, which Alex considered to be "a very good response as far as we're concerned". Coincidentally, it was announced last week that PlayStation Vue will be shutting down in January of next year.
Correct Qs:
DD1 - What is Neptune?
DD2 - Who is Humboldt?
DD3 - What is 101? (Charles Ingalls = CI = 101.)
FJ - Who was Marian Anderson?
